on 460.60 R - around 330 pm today the AFD dispatcher tested with the Armstrong dispatcher
since then the AFD dispatcher has been calling the Armstrong dispatcher on 460.60 R to request ALS units - apparently this is the first thing that the AFD dispatcher does when they receive an EMS call via 911 or other means after the AFD dispatcher calls Armstrong via 460.60 R - then apparently they call the closest fire station and the Arlington R1 via the vocal alarm system - (this is not heard via 460.60 R) - however within 30 seconds the AFD units can be heard acknowledging the call via 460.60 R via their portable radios in the past - none of the comms with the Armstrong dispatchers has been done via 460.60 R - pretty sure it was all done via telephone for the last 3 ems calls - 5 minutes has elapsed between initial radio traffic and arrival - but all 3 calls were in the 'rural' parts of arlington - on the outskirts of town basically - not near the fire stations -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
