marlborough mass fd radio traffic heard yesterday

[Peteri Szerlagi]

heard via scanner feed - unknown what channels used

calls seem to be dispatched primarily via radio - computer voice gives
the initial dispatch - the live dispatcher gives followup details

calls are tagged as "high priority ems" or "high risk box alarm"

box 2315 at 112 donald j lynch blvd was a high risk box and got Eng 2
+ Eng 4 + Truck 1 + Rescue 1 + Car 5 - Eng 2 arrived first after a 6
minute run

200 is the officer on Engine 2 - she is good

Squad 1 was at a ems call prior to the box - so they did not go to the
box - unknown if they would have gone if they were in the station

ems calls for central station seem to handled by squad 1 primarily

an accident on 495 got Eng 2 + Eng 4 + Truck 1 + Rescue 1 + Medic 6 +
Car 5 - 9 minute response time for first arriving Eng 2 after they
got the location figured out somewhat - 1 patient - 6 months pregnant
for the checkup - dispatcher kept saying "495 northbound exit 67" - it
was actually 2 miles before exit 67

ems units seem to be Medic 6 and Amb 4 - maybe als and bls
respectively - medic 6 might be first due amb for als calls - and A4
might be first due amb for bls calls

did hear 1 call where medic 6 went alone to a call iirc

ems call at hyatt got medic 3 and squad 1 - five minutes later Eng 3
and A4 went to a broken ankle call
