most Cape Cod FDs seem to call back off duty staff any time that an ambulance reports that they will be committed to transport a patient to a hospital
------------------------- Provincetown had 2 EMS calls this afternoon and I am as confused as usual 1644 - Ptown Fire pages out to all Rescue receivers - guy with numb arm at Jimmys Hideaway 179 (??? - I probably dont want to know)) 1644 - "Lower Cape OK" 1648 - "197 at scene" (thats a Ptown FD amb) 1705 - "197 to CCH - tone 1 for coverage" first and 2nd tones for coverage 1719 - 2nd EMS call - trip and fall with head injury at pharmacy 1721 - "599 enroute from Truro" - thats a Lower Cape amb 1721 - "196 responding" - thats a Ptown FD amb 1724 - "196 at scene" 1733 - "196 committed - request 2 to cover" first and 2nd tones for coverage 1736 - "196 to CCH BLS - 1 medic back in town - Truro has a BLS crew" then - on the Truro FD talkgroup - 196 gave the same message to the Truro dispatcher (I was just told that Lower Cape runs 1 amb from Ptown and 1 amb from Truro) FireNews.org says that Ptown FD has 3 ambs - Truro FD has 2 ambs - and Lower Cape has 2 ambs Based on what I heard today - I will have to guess that each Provincetown EMS call gets 2 ambulances usually - 1 of which is a Lower Cape amb I dont know where 599 dissappeared to today - unless after the first call, one medic got in the 599 truck and drove it to Ptown I sense that the general theme is that Lower Cape Amb does the majority of the transports to Hyamnis in order to keep the Truro and Provincetown ambs close to home - is that correct? Seems that staffing today is - 2 Lower Cape EMS people on a Lower Cape Amb in Truro Fire Station - 2 Lower Cape EMS people on a Lower Cape Amb in Lower Cape Ptown garage - maybe 2 Ptown FD FF/EMT in Ptown fire station backed up by pager equipped oncall people - 2 Truro FD FF/EMT in Truro Fire Station backed up by pager equipped oncall people - unknown of Lower Cape has any pager equipped oncall people - maybe they dont -(the Fd people might be FF/PM actually) so many questions - such a small molehill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
