Just curious to know how the different agencies from around the world are despatched.
For us, we have alphanumeric pagers-
With these pagers, we have 3 different codecs installed:
1) Emergency
2) Non Emergency
3) Admin
The emergency codec is for all rescue calls, etc (life threatening issue), the non emergency codec is for non life threatening calls such as floods, storms, etc and the admin is just that- general messages about meetings, training, etc.
An emergency call will come with this type of meesage:
ALERT F110306969 KYNE1 RESCC1 * CAR ACCIDENT – POSS PERSEON TRAPPED/FIRE 13 BODKIN ST KYNETON/MOLLISON ST//NEW ST SVC 8164 F9 (742742) CKYNE WEND1
The first part (ALERT F110306969) is the event number from the despatch system.
The next part (KYNE1 RESCC1 * CAR ACCIDENT – POSS PERSEON TRAPPED/FIRE) tells us it’s a car fire, possible persons trapped.
The next part (13 BODKIN ST KYNETON/MOLLISON ST//NEW ST) is the primary address and cross referenced streets.
And then the map references (SVC 8164 F9 (742742)) and finally which fire brigade (CKYNE) and Rescue Unit (WEND1) has been activated.
A non emergency call will come in with this type of message:
S110435656 SES WOODEND TREE DOWN / TRF HAZARD JOE CITIZEN 0055 696969 / 74 PIPER ST KYNETON / POWLETT ST // WEDGE ST SVVB c 8164 E7 TREE ON ROAD AND CAR
The first part (S110435656) is the event number from the despatch system.
The next part (SES WOODEND TREE DOWN / TRF HAZARD) tells us it’s a tree down and traffic hazard.
The next part (JOE CITIZEN 0055 696969 ) is the callers name and phone number.
The next part (/ 74 PIPER ST KYNETON / POWLETT ST // WEDGE ST) is the primary address and cross referenced streets.
And then the map references (SVVB c 8164 E7)) and finally any further details about the call (TREE ON ROAD AND CAR).
