Bogota Columbia - FD comm system - 2 hour video

https://www.youtube.com/live/N7BluxRogsM?feature=share

you can captions in english - somewhat

8 million population - 17 fire stations

1952 to 2007 - fire dispatch was at Chapinero Fire Station

fire dispatch later moved to a telephone company building - and later
to the present FD Comms Center

fire emergency telephone numbers - 19 in 1952 - 119 in 1968 - 123 in 2007

123 is for police and fire and ambulance

beyond that - could not learn too much - they have AVL apparently -
they have CAD also - maybe is called ProCAD

would not be surprised if they only have 17 pumpers and 1 ladder and 1
rescue and 1 hazmat - to cover 8 million people - and it works for
them - all blds probably have brick exteriors so very small risk of
conflagration

Massachusetts has a population of 7 million iirc - and there are
probably 1,000 pumpers and 100 or 200 ladder trucks
