@JayR20206 Жыл бұрын

When I had to get up EARLY in the morning I used this. I quit my job & got rid of this as my alarm. Adding it back to the alarm as I'm going back to work for the spring-summer & Fall. I've listened to the other pagers going off & this one is my definite favorite. Stay safe out there bud #FirefightersMatter

I've never been an emergency service person of any type but one of my former buddies was a firefighter. We heard 3 or 4 explosions within 30 seconds almost 10 miles away. The way our county "announcement" system used to be set-up, they had all of the codes needed to announce every vehicle necessary for any type of situation to any degree of multiple alarms. They simply type in the details of the condition and the "pre-set" dispatch mode showed how to dispatch who and when.

That's a LOT of companies! Where I'm from, only 2 or 3 companies go for a structure fire.

@AQLandscaping 9 жыл бұрын

That's because a lot of the companies around here get very little guys, especially during the day. A lot of time engines show up with driver only, or 2-3 guys if lucky, even on weekends sometimes. It's no good, shortage of guys around here.

@thisissparta789789 9 жыл бұрын

Could it also be because your companies are small to begin with, like only have 2-4 trucks? In my town, most companies have 4-6 trucks plus 3 chief cars. We have our own issues with staffing, but we can guarantee a 6-man engine in 4-5 minutes during the day.

@AQLandscaping 9 жыл бұрын

No, all of our stations have at least 5-6 trucks. And then responding officers (Chiefs, Asst. Chiefs, Capts., Lt, etc.)

I don't run calls anymore but I still get excited when it goes off. A lot of companies have now switched over to only alpha pagers but some use minitors or both.

By the time he had entered the details for a 5 alarm fire at this specific location his screen was so lit up with companies to call that it took him 4 minutes of constant "tapping and announcing"..."tapping and announcing" to call every truck that was needed. I'm sure that the total number of "2 tone" pages (which is what our county still uses today) that were tapped out that day was somewhere around 12 or 13 tones between all the ladders and tankers and ambulances and fire police etc...

I can't remember how long ago it was (more than 10 years ago)...but we had a fire with explosions at some type of heavy industrial building in one of the towns near the Delaware River over here in Burlington County NJ. It took 4 minutes of constant tones and "announcements" to call all of the equipment that was needed.

yea, no kidding. fires usually take a long time to run throught them all, especially in a rural area, that is why there is the pre-alert for all fires.

@brianverbanickjr.5551 5 жыл бұрын

It depends on how many companies are being toned out, if it’s only one company, 1 set of tones, 2 companies, you will hear a total of 4 different pitched tones, basically it’s the first tone, then the second, the second usually is a higher pitch than the first tone, then another tone, then the 4th tone, again, the second tone in a set of tones is usually higher pitched EDIT: I was re-reading my comment, and I realized that it made no sense to me when I read it, it’s hard for me to explain this kind of stuff, usually it’s hard for me to explain most stuff involving firefighting, that’s why they say it’s a job few understand

@northhigh19 12 жыл бұрын

@Icandrum2 tones are what dispatch centers use to page fire departments. Each fire dept has two tones. These could be high to low, low to high, any pitch, anything. In some cases, each piece of apparatus has their own tones so fire depts know which apparatus to take on the call. The vast majority volunteer, poc, and some career firefighters have pagers, which you see in the video. These are programmed to "alert" when their fire depts tones come through.

@nudist0885 12 жыл бұрын

This way if we had what started as a 2 alarm fire in the largest hospital in the county the screen at the dispatch center showed the dispatcher EXACTLY who to page for each additional alarm. This way if any incident of any kind went to 6 alarms less than 2 minutes after it was first "tapped out" the dispatcher could keep tapping out and announcing until everything that was needed was called.

@tfivegames 15 жыл бұрын

Not true, most departments, or well organized departments have a "pre-amp" alert where a minor description is given. For us, it sounds like: "Soandso City, Structure Fire, 123 Fake Street." So if you live in or near that city, you know you're going, so start towards the station, or if you're at the station - Fire up the engine! You're going! A lot of the engines around here already go on scene at the end of the tones.

When we had the explosion situation I mentioned above...the fire "tap-out" dispatcher had all of the "tap out" codes for every company necessary to fight a 5 alarm fire less than 2 minutes after he received the first call. He simply sat at his desk and entered into the system the details of a 5 alarm fire at this location (which may have started as a 2 alarm fire 30 seconds earlier) and he could just update his screen at will.
