After the past few days there has been several calls at the same time. How do we get so we are not all needing multiple channels for no real reason.

Training! We all take operational training (essentials, vehicle rescue). How about some in house admin training. What is a box alarm? What are my department duties? What are my duties. Do all firefighters know the answers to these questions. If know we need to provide the answers. In the city of N Towanda we will use the township freq. to do all of Jass's work. (trees down) Not to make light of the situation but if all else fails give us all the CIA mikes. At least we will look cool when we are fouling up the airwaves.

Zone system!!! You respond and do everything on that channel. If thinks get real bad some smart officers would go to Fire 8 or private, shouldn't have to be told to go to another channel.

Freq 1 and 2 should be for dispatch only. Once on scene, the radio traffic SHOULD be moved to another frequency.
BUT, our commincation devices should ALL have capability of using ALL of the frequencies. This should also include our pagers. For most of the responders, this is all they have to be able to HEAR what is going on around them at the scene. Once communications is moved off 1 or 2, they hear nothing.

Question: Why do ALL the personnel on a scene have to know everything that is being said over the radios? Some things do not need to be heard! Also, once on a scene , and given a job to do, why do you need to hear what someone else is doing? Each job SHOULD have an officer with a radio attached to it. Just curious!

IF YOU DONT GIVE AN OPS CHANNEL FOR MINOR INCIDENTS, SOME DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTY WILL MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A MAJOR INCIDENT BY TYING UP FREQUENCY 1

Chief (Gary);
When an incident becomes a "JOB", that is when we should be using a tactical freqency. A rural water movement operation, IMHO, warrants its own frequency. In a perfect world, every task would be assigned to an officer and crew, but in reality that doesn't happen. Look at your standard SFD (if there is really such a thing). Communications on the radio is necessary for all interior suppression / search teams and those performing vertical ventilation operations. This must be done even if an officer isn't immediately available or present.
The key though is be on a JOB, not necessarily a worker. AFA's, trees down, pump details, traffic control, wire down standby's do not, again IMHO, constitute a job, thus no need for a tactical channel assigned.
Just food for thought.
C- ya vertical!
