Fire in a Building Liberty, MO 200 N 291HWY 05-25-14 (KCFD Auto-Aide)

This is interesting to read about the complexity of some of the dispatch centers as well as apparatus designations and mutual aid assignments.  I can't think of a single Virginia locality that isn't dispatched by a countywide PSAP.  We're also unique in the nation that every one of our cities are independent of the county (only others in the US are Baltimore, St Louis, and Las Vegas), so cities dispatch themselves as well.

 

That being said, I am impressed with the MABAS and the way that it's grown over the past 20 years.
