Effective April 1st, 2014 a couple communications changes that some of the regular listeners might notice:
***Sector assignment designations will now be called Sector A-D to comply with NIMS standards. Sectors 1-4 will no longer be used.
***Progress Reports will be "at least" every 15 minutes until the incident is under control, then "at least" 30 minutes until all companies have picked up. The old standard was 10 minutes if you were watching a clock as you were listening.
This is a little older news, but we're using three different type of portable radios now with the same channel layout:
***XTS 5000's...used by Ambulance companies and firefighters.
***XTS 6000's..used by Fire Company Officers
***XTS 7000's...used by Chief Officers (Batt. Chiefs, EMS Field Chiefs, Exempt Chiefs)
