Spokane SFR Fire

[commstar]

House fire being attacked on Spokane City 'Blue Patch' 154.0550 R (186.2).

1500 W. Gardner, Spokane, Wa

11 degrees, calm winds but having trouble getting apparatus up to the location and then even more venting the roof.

With 36 inches of snow on the ground roofs are not much better.

Fun times in Spokane (not).

Hey Mike
Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the RR group here.

Reguarding the patch, when the city fire crews are paged out on the digital pagers (158.895)
for fire and other non medical ops the dispatcher puts in "A Tac" as the channel
to use for the incident which I believe is Amber Tac 154.175 186.2 simplex.
I think I may not actually be a true repeater as we know them rather an audio patch
that is controlled by the CCC dispatcher at thier console.
The pagers for all of spokane City/Co are Motorola Advisor 4 Line 1200 baud POSAG.
A great program for decoding is Pager Decoder PDW110.exe


Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!!!
