dc 911 sends firefighters 5 miles away on call to help secret service near white house maybe the time has come to formalize dispatcher job descriptions nationwide - maybe 6 classifications are needed - police calltaker - EMS calltaker - fire calltaker - police radio dispatcher - fire radio dispatcher - ambulance radio dispatcher - therefore the smallest 'all services' dispatch center would have 6 people on duty - so maybe a population of 200,000 would need to be served - and more dispatchers would be needed for wildfire ops and aviation ops maybe it is time to add 912 to 911 - make 911 for cops - make 912 for fire and ems or - let police calltakers answer all 911 calls - and they could do a 'slick' handover to fire and ems calltakers - police calltaker would start the interview and summon a fire or ems calltaker to take over the call (unseen/unknown to the caller) - such as - there has been a car crash at Rte 24 and Elm St - has anyone been injured? - yes I think so - (button pushed to summon ems calltaker) - did you say Rte 24 at Elm St - yes I did - can you tell how many people are injured? - maybe 2 - EMS calltaker now jumps on the line - is anyone unconscious? - yes - is anyone trapped? - maybe - ems calltaker now summons fire calltaker jeez - that got convoluted quickly LOL - but if all the calltakers are using the same CAD, then it should not be a big deal to coordiante between 3 calltakers - the coordination is gonna have to happen one way or the other -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
