Mark,

Re: my blog "Life Changes"; I'm sorry if you thought I was placing blame, because that was certainly not what I was after. I was actually trying to illustrate that no matter what we do sometimes, even if we are doing everything right, sometimes things go wrong. I don't have any facts other than what was presented in the articles. What I do want, however, is for drivers to not take their responsibility for granted (which we all do after years in the seat, including myself).

My prayers are with all of the parties involved and in the hope that they all can recover from this extraordinarily tragic event. Thanks for your comments.

Unfortunately, the CFD wants to join the consolidated dispatch authority, but the City Counl won't let them...we're still working on it! I promised them I wouldn't give up on them and we're working closely with them to assist, whenever their dispatch is too busy or can't hear them.

DFA did fund our equipment. The "Consolidated" dispatch center is considered the primary PSAP, for any County. The City of Carslbad still gets "some" funding, but will not be on the same level as a consolidated center.
