I don't know if anyone else had been doing this but in addition to my scanning I was following Toronto fire on twitter, which was handy because I would get live updates to what I was listening to. For example in a certain location it would indicate truck numbers R113 P131 etc. I noticed that they have stopped tweeting. Anyone know anything about this?

Why didn't you just ask them on Twitter?

I'm pretty sure the Twitter feed is automatic from their CAD system from what I can tell from the tweets' fomrat. I'd noticed that it was not sending just the other night, when I was showing someone how prevalent social media has become in emergency services. Oops!

I believe it was written or maintained by "Iain J. Grant" (Twitter: @ijg) based on some of the info available from the @tofire page. I've just now sent him a tweet asking what's up, but that may be futile - he last tweeted August 15, having been rather active before that (and @tofire last tweeted August 19).

Let's just hope he's on vacation and can't be back to reset everything...

Any update as to why the TORFIRE twitter feeds still aren't working? I noticed Tor.Fire live incidents hasn't been working for a few days either.

A question? Recently Toronto Police has disappeared and now can only hear Toronto Fire, OPP on the audio channel. Does anybody know why the TPS feeds is no more?

Thanks!

Anyone know what happened to the MTO updates via email for road closures/ lane restrictions? I found that really handy but it stopped and can't find the link to it..
