listened to Capital Fire Dispatch from Concord NH today - the new feed
at Broadcastify - just the dispatcher is heard
same radio procedures apparently as last 40 years - Ch 1 is 154.355 I reckon
Channel 1 - paging and emergency responses
Channel 2 - first fireground channel
Channel 3 - second fireground channel
box alarm calls in Concord get a fireground channel - this includes
master box activations - response is typically 1 pumper plus the
ladder plus 1 ambulance plus maybe the Batt Chief (Car 4)
portable radio on Engine 4 would be O4 or portable Engine 4 or Engine 4 portable
minor calls and EMS calls are not assigned a fireground channel
pre alerts are still used - ie - pager signal plus whooper then
"medical pending" - then 1 minute later - pager signal plus whooper
plus call announced
calls are announced twice - includes units assigned - address - cross
streets - maybe time out also
arrival messages and situation report is given via Ch 1 apparently
the dispatcher can send calls to concord ladder truck via computer
Concord FD units include - Engine 4,5,7 - Ambulance 4 + 7 - Car 4 - Tower 1
not sure if callsigns are Concord Eng 4 or 55 Eng 4 - feed might cut
off first word
terms heard - "go ahead Eng 7" - "you can go in" (you can cancel your
response aka you can go in service) - "Fire Alarm to Engine 5
Portable" - "Channel 3 on arrival"
