I only caught part of this transmission, but earlier this morning a TFS dispatcher came on one of the dispatch channels earlier and said something along the lines of, "This dispatch is brought to Toronto Fire courtesy of Facebook."

Any idea what this was all about?

Its a little more user friendly than the raw CAD feed, plus the mapping feature is pretty cool.

Toronto uses the same CAD system my agency does. We had to get TAC channels specifically added into CAD, and it's not a field that can be exported to normal Intergraph software AFAIK. We had to have a special external application built to kludge-in to our CAD desktop so that dispatchers could see which tac channels were in use and which were available for assignment. Nobody in the design or programming thought that particular concept was relevant or necessary...
