Cdf, cal fire

[jay12]

Dose anyone know if cal fire uses motorola minitor pagers , and if thay do dose anyone know how to find the minitor tones for the (scu) district the tones on here are not for the pagers

CDF uses station alert devices (both paging receivers and base station radios). I have not yet seen a state resource with a minitor, they all carry GPH type radios.

"I have not yet seen a state resource with a minitor, they all carry GPH type radios."

I can only speak for my unit. Yes minitors are carried by our chief officers and some other staff. (I have one). And no, they are not Sced A contract stuff.

In the past SCU has used the minitors. I know LNU and MMU use the pagers in the field and at the stations. A last resort might be to record the ring-downs on your computer and with some of the deciphering applications, decode the tones yourself.

...Or you could go to CAL FIRE in the database, click on FILES and click on SCU Alert Tones...???

Not every station will have two-tone alerts for the Minitors. Most stations are DTMF. In my unit, the Minitors (and two-tone alerting) are only used for those people not chained to a station (admin, overhead, dozer operators, and volunteer companies). They are used for both Schedule A and Schedule B staff. You may not be able to use a Minitor to alert for station calls in your unit.

In our unit overhead, crews, stations (5 of 9), dozers, and prevention all use monitor pagers. As for a way to get them I would contact the ECC.

This was taken at a fire on Baseline Rd in Placer County on Aug 03. The CALFIRE BC had his monitor pager cliped to his collar.
