My contact says Stratford halls are manned 24-7. It is very rare that they need additional personal.
Your contacts are partially right, the halls are manned 24-7, They had a house fire on Friday or Saturday night and requested additional manpower. I never heard a page over the Perth County pager system. Also nothing over their own freq. Woodstock Fire Dept, who I used to listen to has a call back system. They used to have plectrons in their houses for the call back. I was just curious as to what Stratford uses thats all.
