Today March 11 2008 (the first Tuesday of the month), I heard them test the base station, and then they tested all the portables on Channel 2. Peter Sz

Today, March 13 2008, Wednesday, no portable radios tested today. Just the base station (with a 5 count), and the emergency alert tone (^^^^^) were tested at 8AM. All dispatching is being done via radio today, and the fire dispatchers are working out of the command van. I guess the fire alarm office is being rebuilt or renovated. Peter Sz
