2011
Right now I would say here in Concord we have about 5" to 7" on the ground right now.
Good thing is I get to sit right here and watch it, because my boss allowed me to have a couple of vacation days.
Everything has been for the most pretty quite here, because with it hitting in the early morning hours every business and school had ample time to call off activities.
Sure there have been your usual EMS calls, and Fire Alarm activations, but that is basically the norm.
Everything being dispatched is routine response and usually the fire alarm activations have been sized down to a single apparatus response.
Radio traffic has been quite as well, with the exception for the City of Kannapolis Fire Department. There Chief has to let there communications know everytime they make a move. The fire units have to advise dispatch when they are on the scene, at the patient for a medical, when EMS arrives on scene, and assignment complete.
By far Kannapolis Fire ties up the radio system more than anybody does here in Cabarrus. All of it is useless bull that could be done via cell phone or Nextel.
