[quote name='Dave B.' post='158590' date='Oct 26 2007, 17:52 ']How many times could you hear during a 24 hour period something like "Squrt 8, Snorkle 2, 6th and Chestnut Sts, special assignment on box 1776?" Not being able to monitor the city anymore from Indiana, and not having a digital scanner when I am in the area, how do they dispatch those type of runs now?[/quote]
The special assignments went away when the street boxes were taken out back in the mid 80's. Everything else is still the same as it's always been. They were supposed to change the box numbers to a system where each box began with teh number of the first due engine but that has been put on hold indefinitely. The only different dispatch now is the addition of a SOC company and a ladder as RIT on a working fire.
