Placer County California - just north of Sacramento -----------------------------------------------
Dispatch and Communications Fire agencies serving the unincorporated territory in western Placer County are dispatched by two separate agencies 'Fire districts' are dispatched by the Placer County Communications Division of the Placer County Sheriff’s Department. Placer County Fire Department, which is providing services through a contract with CAL FIRE, is dispatched by the CAL FIRE Grass Valley Emergency Command Center. The cities of Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln have their own dispatch centers and frequencies, while the cities of Auburn and Colfax contract with CAL FIRE. The City’s [Roseville] dispatch center is maintained by the [Roseville] police department through its communications unit. The unit answers 911 and routine calls for police, fire, and emergency medical services and dispatches appropriate assistance. The unit also conducts public outreach, such as 911 for Kids and 911 Community Outreach, and brought Project Lifesaver to the City, a program that helps locate missing persons with Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, and other disorders. The unit is designed to handle up to 220,000 calls for service and uses Ca Motorola 800 MHz trunked system. RosFD [Roseville FD] recognizes that multiple communication and response problems are caused by multiple dispatch centers in the area. The Department believes that regionalization of the dispatch centers to one fire based center would fix many issues, allow 911 calls to process quicker and more efficiently, provide more safety to the firefighters in the field, and bring all the agencies together. All agencies on the western slope of Placer County would be good candidates to merge into one fire PSAP. The primary question, as seen by RosFD, would be whether CAL FIRE might join the newly organized dispatch or prefer that other agencies joint its PSAP. ------------------------------- per west Placer Fire MSR 2017 at https://www.placer.ca.gov/departments/lafco - I added a few marks and added 1 paragraph beak and inserted a few words to make it clearer https://drive.google.com/open?id=1P0VjiBJeY1AZhaSMqxPdtcZCMkE&usp=sharing - this glorious maps makes it all clear - ecept I found a military FD - and have not found Roseville Temp Sta 8 - and did the new Roseville Sta 1 ever get complete? its always such a battle to get any good hard info -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
