I was wondering last night now other Fire Departments are dispatched. Here's an example of us for Fire and EMS.

Fire/or other related call.

KDP-395 to all (Department) home receivers.
Report of a (nature of call) at address or location.
Cross roads between so on and so forth.

Cross roads are between this and that.

Before the changes, fire communications would ring stations on the hot lines and ask if the station had a crew for the ambulance or crew for engine for a local before putting the call out over the air.
Sometimes we would get a tip for a jump on a call over the phone to get on the units before a call came out for something big. The phone would ring and someone would pick it up and someone would say "Turn Left" or "Can't Talk Now"
When address went out we knew to start running for the gear racks before station numbers were called.
Sometimes our station wasn't called and we would stop in our tracks because a truck or squad was out of service.
