English: Fire engines used by fire departments in Poland (both state and voluntary) have special designations that are determined by their characteristics such as weight and equipment as well as the chassis on which they are based. These designations have the following pattern: First there are several capital and lower case letters which can be followed by numbers separated with slashes. The first letter is dependent on whether the vehicle is a firefighting vehicle (marked with a capital letter G - "Gaśniczy") or a special vehicle (marked with a capital letter S - "Specjalny"), The next letter is different depending what weight class the vehicle falls into. Vehicles with weight of up to 7.5 tonnes are classified as light (marked with a capital letter L - "Lekki"). Vehicles with weight between and including 7.5 tonnes and 14 tonnes are classified as medium (these aren't marked with any letter). Vehicles with weight of over 14 tonnes are classified as heavy (marked with a capital letter C - "Ciężki"). If the vehicle in question is a special vehicle the next letter describes the exact purpose of the vehicle (DŁ - command and communication, Kn - container transporter, Kw - quartermaster vehicle, Op - "Operational" vehicle used for transporting firefighters and commanders, R - reconnaissance, Rch - Chemical rescue vehicle, Rt - technical rescue vehicle, Rw - water rescue vehicle, W - hose transporting vehicle). Any letters following that are dependent on the type of equipment carried by the vehicle in question. These letters can also require numbers to be added to the vehicle's designation. These numbers are placed after the letters and appear in the order that the corresponding letters appear in. If more than one number is present they are separated from each other by slashes. Afterwards the designation includes the brand and model of the chassis on which the fire engine is based. If the company which carried out the conversion to a fire engine is known its name is placed after model of the chassis separated with a slash. If another company converted a vehicle that was already a fire engine converted by a different company the name of the original company is left after the chassis model and the new company name is placed after the old one separated by a slash.
