Does anyone have insight into how Livingston Fire dispatch works? From what I have noticed there does not seem to be any type of dispatch tones other than the 6pm nightly radio test. Instead I usually hear the dispatcher call out directly to "car 101" or something similar to that. How do the volunteers get notified of a call?

So 101, 102 are the paid EMS during the day. The FD is 200, 217 as chiefs, or F1, F2, F3 for deputies. The FD pages only when needed for a larger response otherwise chief's respond solo. There has not been a "general" alarm since Nov. The Fd has Engine company tones when it is felt an engine is required. The paid EMS is dispatched on RWJ OPS 3 and volunteer EMS (mostly evenings) dispatched with tones as well.
Interesting. There was a call that came in earlier this week for a smell of burning inside a house. Based on what I could hear it did not sound like they rolled an engine. As a retired volunteer I find that hard to believe.
They sent an engine, if guys are hanging out they roll. I did hear that one as well.
Yes that was probably it. I guess they were not switched over to NJICS with the rest of the PD.
Indeed Animal Control. DPW I think uses cell phones. LOL - Last I heard the old town manager took all their radios....
309 # has been retired. They use 390, 391 & once in a while there was a 392.
