little more info - NSW Australia - fire dispatch

https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=166

there are just 2 fire dispatch centers / centres - 1 at Sydney - and 1
at Newcastle - and they dispatch both FDs (FRNSW and NSW Rural) - and
they also take overflow calls for SES (which I thought had merged into
the FDs)

I suspect that the Rural Fire Stations talk to their District
Firecomms in some areas - and in other areas they talk directly to
Sydney or Newcastle

imagine controlling 2,700 fire stations with just 2 dispatch centers

maybe that is where the Rural Firecomms come into play - maybe they
are staffed whenever there is a major rural fire - taking pressure off
Sydney and Newcastle
