info about LA County FD dispatch channels

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/laco-fire-dispatch-channels.476933/

basic procedure is - calls are announced on U1 - units respond on the D channels

just listened to U1 via Broadcastify - dispatcher is reading off the
calls as they are dispatched - format is - units assigned + type of
call + address - 1 engine to a CO alarm - diabetic got eng and sqd -
eng and squad to sick person - quint and squad to sob at sheriff sta -
E92 to rubbish fire - Eng and squad to unconscious person

the d channel dispatchers also voice their calls - but only give full
info by radio as needed - which is apparently when the unit is out of
the station and away from a MDT - which tells us that MDT is
considered to be the primary means of dispatch

no mention of the private ambulances

no mention of any cross streets

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

historical info

I'm going further back,
Basin dispatch, 154.43
Valley dispatch 154.34
Antelope dispatch 154.40
and two VHF tacs that I can't remember
These were back in the early 70's (Emergency TV show days)

Tac 4 154.265 Rarely used
Tac 5 154.295.

antelope = malibu + santa clarita + gorman + lancaster
valley = covina area iirc

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

also good info about catalina island - everyone is on uhf now and is
dispatched by the sheriff office on the island - which is very unique

there are 3 fire stations on the island - avalon city fd + county 55 +
county 155 - avalon city fd provides the ground bls ambulance service
on the island - baywatch provides marine ems - baywatch also provides
als islandwide - which is also very unique
