SCFD Paging System
The SCFD Paging System allows on-duty SCFD to be informed of a developing incident. The Paging System automatically generated a 911 Call - allowing information to be synced to the web-based CAD and for accurate calling tones to play.
Messages transmitted over the radio must consist of the following commands to ensure that a page is properly sent to SCFD:
/PAGE FIRE STRUCTURE FIRE - FIRE ALARM TONE + STRUCTURE FIRE /PAGE FIRE VEHICLE FIRE - FIRE ALARM TONE + VEHICLE FIRE /PAGE FIRE HAZMAT - FIRE ALARM TONE + HAZMAT /PAGE FIRE (DESCRIPTION) - FIRE ALARM TONE + OTHER FIRE PROBLEM /PAGE FIRE RESCUE - FIRE ALARM TONE + RESCUE /PAGE FIRE MVA - FIRE ALARM TONE + MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT /PAGE FIRE ALARM - FIRE ALARM TONE + ALARM /PAGE EMS RESCUE - EMS ALARM TONE + RESCUE /PAGE EMS (DESCRIPTION) - EMS ALARM TONE + OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEM
To utilise this the most effectively, radio transmissions should look like this
/PAGE FIRE [INCIDENT TYPE] LOCATION, FURTHER INFORMATION
