While driving through Rutherford County yesterday, I noticed that both fire and EMS are now being dispatched by a computer generated voice. I think this is a first for any county or municipality in the western part of the state. It also appears that EMS is now 100% on VIPER and the VHF fire frequency is patched to VIPER, with several departments utilizing VIPER side of the patch exclusively. Just an interesting observation I thought I'd pass along.
