BFD-1054 You are like closed-captioned for the scanner.

I dont know how you type so fast, the purchase call wasnt even over yet and you had a post up. good job buff.lol

Chris, i'll let ya in on my secret lol. I usually minimize EMTBravo on my computer while i do other things & when i hear an update i type it in. Sometimes i'll write down quick notes on a pad when i'm not near my computer & i'll go back & post it all. But when you're a member of a relatively slow department, such as mine, you have all the time in the world to be a buff lol! Plus, if it can't be me or my dept. on the radio, i might as well listen to others! Another secret is that i used to dispatch for the Somers Fire District. So when there was a call & you had 6 engines, i truck, 2 utilities, 3 ambulances & about 10 officers signing on at once & you had to keep record of that info, you learned short-cuts lol! I am exagerating a bit of course, but you get the point!

Keep up the good work, BFD1054.

I am just jealous because I cant type that fast.

When I said buff I meant it in a mutual respect kind of way.

Chris, don't worry, i took no offense in the "Buff" remark, believe me lol! I think we are all little bit of buffs in some way, shape or form! When i am around the house & have my scanner on and something catches my ear, i try to monitor the incident & go from there. At least i only listen now, instead of running out the door when i heard any local department get a job lol! But thanks for the comments/support, and i will do my best to stay buffy and type fast!
