Monitoring in Midlothian. Hearing some unknown unit designations. Chesterfield Fire and EMS is dispatching some ambulances as "Pace ambulance 20x. At least I think that's what they're saying.

Also, VSP dispatch in divisions 1 and 5 has been heard talking to "MVA XXX." I have previously heard DMV and ABC on the dispatch channels, but not MVA.

Can anyone shed light on these? Just curious. Ty.

"Peak Ambulance 2XX"
BLS units that are marked on during times of "peak" call volume

Not sure about the VSP one, haven't heard that in my time monitoring STARS. I'll keep an ear out.

MVA typically means motor vehicle accident; however, they don’t have a number listed behind it except for a location. I don’t have a clue otherwise but will listen more closely.
