Template:Infobox fire department
![]() | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
This infobox is designed to suit the wide variation in terminology between countries and between individual fire services. There is an extensive list of pre-named parameters for leadership and apparatus, which are suited to predominantly North American terminology, but generic parameters which can be adapted for individual requirements are also available. A blank version of the template using each style is available below.
Note the following:
- where named and generic parameters are mixed in a section, the generic parameters will follow the named parameters in the displayed infobox;
- the display order of pre-named parameters cannot be altered, and generic parameters will display in numerical order;
- wikilinks may be used in generic _description parameters as desired.
