saved by first arriving off-duty firefighters from Georgetown and Newbury let me try to explain how lucky this child is - both georgetown and newbury are small FDs - both operate ambulances - both have approx 10 fulltime staff and 20 parttime staff - its possible that no one was in the fire stations when this call happened - its possible that both FD were alerted to the call - maybe with georgetown providing a bls ambulance and newbury providing an als ambulance - in any case - georgetown uses 154.325 and Newbury uses 153.815 - both with separate dispatch centers - both FDs use radio paging systems on those radio channels - its possible that both georgeton fd and newbury fd had a off duty member who was very close to the scene and immediately responded directly to the scene when the pagers activated - with the rest of the firefighters heading to the stations to get the ambulances response time could have been 1 to 2 minutes - which is huge the caller scenario would be - dial 911 - georgetown dispatcher answers in under 10 seconds - info obtained and pagers activated within 30 to 60 seconds - then offduty staff runs to their cars and drives to scene in 1 minute - georgeton dispatcher calls newbury dispatcher and requests that their FD also respond and thats how babys get saved its possible that a newbury firefighter was visiting a georgetown firefighter and they both responded together maybe guilfoil will have more details on this case -- shes got a kid ... together - https://youtu.be/IQQ-hxIwm70?si=8jrwZRcfZg-vN4Ye&t=237 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
