Just heard Fire Dispatch doing a tone test on 154.1900 and 153.8900 for West Sac station 45.
Are they going to start dispatching for West Sac?
Are they going to start dispatching for West Sac?
Could it have been some sort of mutual aid or a test?
------was it the standard 2 tone, or was it DTMF?
Never heard an actual tone just Fire Dispatch saying "testing tones for West Sac station 45". They did it about 4-5 times over about 2 hours time.
My take on this is that Sac Fire will be able to trigger WS tones for future mutual aid dispatches.
Confirmed - SRFECC does not and will not be dispatcher for West Sac - Either was mutual aid testing or "back up" testing. It's common for "sister" agencies to have a back up site/procedure for major equipment or building failures. SPD/SSD have a procedure to switch over 911 and dispatch duties to each other.
