Emergency  Runs!

Each active member of the fire department has a Pager pager that is coded to sound a tone that is distinctive to each one of Suburban Fire Depts. When the central dispatcher receives a 911 call the computer tells them which department should respond and with what apparatus. After the tone is sounded the firefighters hear a typical CALL; "8 Rescue 1, 8 Engine 9, 8 Rescue 9, 8 Engine 8-motor vehicle accident with injuries at 8400 St Wendel Rd., cross street Plainview Dr. " Usually this is repeated and then they wait for an acknowledgement from the duty person. Members hear this radio message and respond from their location to the nearest station unless they must pass the scene. Click here to hear a dispatch for a grass fire.
