bottom line - to the best of my understanding - 30 years ago they combined the police and fire dispatchers at the police station here in this 2024 document they say that there are a minimum of 4 people in the dispatch center on day shifts - maybe that drops to 3 in the middle of the night they are proposing moving 2 of those dispatcher positions to the fire hq / station 3 / eoc - the staffing would be temporary people or detailed firefighters or retirees - something like that - they would run 2 console and only dispatch fire and ems calls apparently not sure if they ever moved forward on that plan they would be taking a major step backwards because that is essentially exactly what they were doing 30 years ago note - 30 years ago the newton fire dispatchers also served as the metrofire dispatchers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
