Bridgeport CT FD radio traffic

p broadcastify scanner feed lists dispatch channel only ... but maybe
ch2 traffic is on the feed also

ch 1 seems to be dispatch and response

ch 2 seems to be for more serious calls

ch 3 might be for admin messages

no tones heard on ch 1 but verbal dispatches are heard

map number given for all calls

first engine on scene always announces which hydrant they are on

1140am sunday ... Engine 10 and Ladder 10 did portable radio and
mandown tests with the dispatcher ... on channel 1 I think

Eng 10 ... "Engine 10 testing with Bridgeport"

Dispatcher ... 'Engine 10 heard OK, ID shows as Engine 10 Officer;
mandown alarm received OK'

no tones or chirps heard via feed

radio IDs were ... Eng 10 officer + pump + hydrant + nozzle + spare 1
... Ladder 10 officer + Driver + Irons + Can + Spare 1

iirc each units announces when they respond to a call and when they
arrive at a call

11 am approx mayday tone test ... beep beep beep ... evac tone test
... hi low warble

earlier heard a mayday drill .... sat 142 pm .... Batt Chief
reported to dispatcher that Ldr 11 irons had declared mayday, was
mobile, 2nd flr, rit activated .... then 10 beeps and dispatcher
repeated the message ... might also have said 'maintain radio
silence' ... also extra engine + ladder + bc + amb sent

they use amr ambs but they are not on the fire channel ... dispatcher
has to call amr via telephone
