Our county's emergency dispatch center recently started texting both fire and EMS calls-as soon as a call is saved into the computer, a text message is sent to a provider's cell phone.
Does your city/county's dispatch center offer this?

What will 2010 bring for EMS?
in General EMS Discussion
Posted · Edited by BlackSheep2
In my rural county, 2010 will see the demise of volunteers-both fire and rescue-after over 50+ years in service.
We have a hot shot new fire chief from the big city, a new arrogant county administrator and a bunch of good old B.O.S. boys who jump every time a taxpayer whines.
We now have 24/7 career coverage most of who would rather get a PT refusal than transport to the closest hospital-40 miles away.
We have a bunch of paid EMT/FF who all pile on an engine and respond to calls, overwhelming most PT's.
I'm a 10 year volunteer who see's the light at the end of the tunnel-and it's a train.
