46.26 for Fire radio dispatch only. No EMS on channel 46.26 (shocker) unless fire engines being dispatched to medical assist.Face it ems is a horse of another color. The dispatch channel is only for Fire dispatch. No other transmission allowed. No announcements allowed. Weekly test of base units ok at pre- arranged time. Every battalion gets its own frequecy on repeater with a side channel off repeater. (16-channels plus a couple for ems and mis) Every battalion can communicate with each other by simply going to that battalion's channel. Buzz word inter-operability. Every engine, ladder, squad in the county dispatched over 46.26 gets a digital radio with push buttons that records times to the second dispatched,enroute,onscene,in service, in quaters, out of service,simple. Each department has access to thier own information. Each department gets a base station. Each department gets 10 portables.Each department will buy all additional portable radios and must maintain a radio repair contract. Heres how it works Battalion-14 Department-201 gets an mva w/injuries at 505 Ashford av. Two vehicles need extrication The dispatch enters the call MVAI, validates the address and computer reccomends E-165 normally that's enough.Due to the nature of call. MVAI two vehicles need extrication.The computer has an automatic upgrade feature recommending L-50 and U-24 , E-47 m/a The next nearest units with the tools to the scene. (EMS works alot the same way computer reccomends original agency then upgrades additional (in service) nearest to the scene) The dispatch would dispatch E-165 L-50 U-24 E-47 announcing the departments names, nature of call, units, cross streets ,this would create an incident and place dispatched units on the call. (this would simultaneously dispatch the ems units and police agency) car 2011 would push enroute on his digital system and give a light verbal 2011 responding on Battalion's-14's frequncey. Each member of dispatched department would receive verbal dispatch over pager, text message over cell phone. Each department getting a rip and run (tecno name for a fax). If a dispatched unit does not hit enroute in a reasonable amount of a time a re- transmission of the alarm would take place. Now all fire ground transmission would go through either the IC or your departments base station. Talk all you want. leave the dispatch alone. For the average Fire Fighter on back an engine you go to your battalion channel off repeater and are in contact with everybody you need . For a mutual aid fast team from another battalion easy your battalion channel off repeater with one member monitoring working fire battalion channel. for a mutual aide request battalion-14 department- 201 check on a report of an orange glow at battalion-17 department-255 well lets say good luck to you well who pays for your pipe dream george signs the check hillary and chuck asks for it
