If I told you that 99% of the fire dispatchers in the USA have absolutely no idea that anyone hears them when they dispatch a call - would you believe me?
I might be off by 9% - but unless there are some automatic fault detection schemes - and some automatic call receipt schemes - then my statement is 100% correct think about it - the dispatcher has to activate speakers in fire houses or to activate pagers via radio - 99% of the time there is no way for the dispatcher to know if anyone has heard the dispatch message - until the station or unit pushes a button, answers the phone, or calls in via radio - and this can take anywhere up to 5 minutes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
