for a (nature of call) this will be a (call category number)(response type)(subcategory Number) so something like a 30delta1 response.
I'm retired, I don't get dispatched anymore, but my weather alert radio does a good job of reminding me of the old days, especially during tornado season.

Heres something about being dispatched. How long does a unit in a station have to radio that they are on the air before communications starts checking to see? We have one minute from the time the first call goes out. Some of our officers cheat by carrying portable radios and call on the air before we start the unit and hope it does start after doing that.
Our county started this sometime back. Now think about crews asleep after midnight getting up and pushing through the door to man either a pumper, truck or ambulance with a four to five personel station crew or getting dressed during the day before getting on the unit with full PPE.
I use to jump on with helmet, coat and pull up boots that could cover your thighs in less than a minute in station back before we had to wear bunker pants with boots all the time.
We usually get 2 minutes then if no one acknowleges the call then we get a 2nd tone. After 2 more minutes the next closest dept. will get toned out to it. This usually only happens during the day on medical calls since we are extremely short on first responders. Luckily our county is saturated with ambulances all over so it doesn't take long for EMS to get there. They usually beat us to the scene since they are already on station and we are not. I have been known to start the station north of us for calls during the day because they are manned 24/7 and the majority of them are EMTs.
