Heard on 453.65 (the station alerting channel)

paging tones - then - "Engine 21, attention Ladder 18, box 16-blah
blah blah ...."

Why is the word "attention" used?

the dispatcher did not say "Attention E21 and Attention L18"

do you know what I am getting at? do you understand the procedure? do
you know why it is used?

I have half an idea why they do this. They have been doing it for as
long as I have been listening
