What department is WFD?

What department is WFD?

WFD is short for ?Working Fire Dispatch?, it?s basically the same idea of a 10-75. DC doesn?t run mutual aid on their fires unlike the rest of the DC Metro area (which is why all the departments have a number prefix from 1 to 14, except DC).

Thank you

Thank you fdhistorian, you?ll see on some of the fires the units have a different prefix, that?s the mutual aid from other jurisdictions. So Engine 21 from Fairfax County on the CAD and labeling of the rig is ?421?.
