An open letter to FDNY Comm. Div.:
A commonly recurring exchange between units in the field and the CO is as follows:
UNIT: "We'll be away from the rig; please give us our runs over the air"
DISP: "Have someone monitor the radio".
Well, DUHH!
Does anyone suppose that a unit would ask to be notified by radio while NOT planning to have someone monitor? This is just silly.
Some other messages are significant but so routine that they need their own 10-codes.
A few of them might be:
10-XX Unable to use MDT.
Savings in air time:
Now: We are now 10-8, the MDT won't take it.
Then: 10-8,10-XX
10-XX Reset your MDT
Savings in air time:
Now: Reset your MDT
Then: 10-XX
Any ideas for more?
Oh yeah... open letter to units in the field...
Try resetting the MDT before asking for a ticket. That seems to be the universal response from communications whenever you ask.
