BWI Fire Tac -2 TG on AACo's TRS

[maus92]

Heard a BOLO on this TG for a vehicle wanted in VA. Not sure why this would be broadcast on an airport FD TAC TG...

Could be because BWI's Dispatch Center is collocated in the same room and they have bother fire and police on their consoles and they may have accidentally selected that Talkgroup on their console, it could be that there was only one dispatcher on at that time and they had the Tac 2 selected as they were trying to monitor two talkgroups. It could have been a number of things, maybe it was a one time thing. things do happen, I dont see it as a big deal!!!

I imagine their dispatch facilities are co-located (and *maybe* they use the same dispatchers for fire and police) - I was at their EOC a few years ago, and I *think* they are adjacent. Anyway, the transmission stood out because I normally don't monitor the MdTA Police airport detachment, and the quality of the BWI fire side patches to the AACo analog TRS are noticeable because of their poor quality. It just seemed unusual.
