The New Zealand Fire Service uses a Call Sign for both the Fire Station and the Fire Appliance. The Communication Centre (Christchurch) uses these Call Signs to identify the Appliances. The Communication Centre also uses these codes for Turnout of the Appliances. For example: Stk221, Stk222 111-stru Nayland Rd Stoke (XStr Holcroft Pl/Saxton Rd) House Fire 22:15 10/02/01
