on the tape we are hearing both the Main / North fire dispatcher and
the Englwood / south dispatcher - units have MDTs also - pretty sure
that all FG comms are done on a simplex FG channel - (Broadcastify
Calls did not capture any traffic on the Citywide channel for this
fire) - not sure if they are UHF or 800 now - its P25 in any case

Batt 12 to cover Batt 3

Batt 1 as ? Safety ?

=============

did not hear anyone assigned as Staging Chief - might have missed it -
maybe they dont have that position

lots of positions get filled quickly here - cool
