Training Scenarios going on now on PFD's L Deck talkgroups

Hearing lots of simulated incidents right now, a structure fire in Tempe, a light rail crash, 2-1 medical involving a motorcycle, you name it. Sounds like dispatcher training - everyone's indoors. Fun to listen to though. Thought I'd share.

It's been a long while since I've heard dispatcher training. They used to do it on VHF A-2. I'm sorry I missed it.

They were running mayday drills on A2 today. Sounds like a bunch of new dispatchers are on the actual in-use channels as well. Every now and then I'll hear a voice in the background telling them what to say. Congrats to all our new dispatchers out there for completing their training and "going live"!

Awesome
Years ago, I signed up for a calltaker/dispatcher course that GCC offered alongside their FD, PD, and EMS courses. Two or three times at GCC and once more at Phoenix College, and every time the course was canceled due to lack of interest. Then they stopped offering it altogether. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me.
