Toronto EMS automated dispatch

[yorkphotog]

FYI, tons of testing right now on "COMMAND A" (tg 26640) of the new automated dispatcher. You'll hear a series of beeps followed by the dispatch.

IE:
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.
"ERU2, ECHO, BREATHING, 3636 BATHURST ST"

ERU2 being the unit, echo being the priority, followed by the call type and address.

I've heard these for the first time today. I wonder if someone is out in the field listening to the dispatches from various parts of town and surroundings like noisy construction zones, vehichle traffic, inside buildings/elevators bla, bla, bla. A dispatcher can always raise their voice or emphasize words, but this robo-lady is just a straight monotone.
