FIRE/POLICE/EMS PAGER Groups
Garry W. Watts
These groups are locally based and cover their states, cities or
coverage areas very well. If fact they are simply the best at what they
all do since they are locally based. Most of these groups have been in
the business for many years and have "Proven" track records. While they
do charge for the information and require use of their system pager, you
will receive timely and accurate information.
In most cases you will find that they have the best pager pricing you
can find. When it's free you get exactly what you pay for! (need I say
more). Most of these groups have been formed from the local fire buff,
scanner & police or radio type clubs.
If you simply want the best in emergency services paging, contact your
local paging service listed below, while a small cost is involved you
will receive the best service available anywhere. All have affiliations
with each group around the US and provide Nationwide Information.
Baltimore Metro Dispatch

BMD Supervisor: George Ehrman (E*23)
"Baltimore's premier & most reliable pager notification system"
We operate on the PageNet of MD system, using Advisor Gold pagers.
Our service is provided free of charge to anyone who requests it
(provided
they have a PageNet pager w/ alpha service). BMD is operated 24 hours a
day
by public safety personnel from around the state who page incidents
either from
their PCs or WordTreks / Alphamates. BMD dispatchers receive no
compensation
for this service.

CFN, Columbia Fire Net, is a product of the Columbia, Missouri Fire
Department.
It was established to provide information via pagers to Chief Officers,
Rescue
and HazMat Team members and eventually to any interested CFD member. The
pagers are provided at no cost to CFD members. With 4 pin options
available,
members could select any 2 additional types of pages. Obviously their
individual
pin, then a CFD all call pin and their choice of 2 more. About 2 dozen
elected to
receive CFN as one of their options. As of this writing there are 4 who
are
authorized to send out national pages. National paging will remain a
very
closely held authority. Since we are new, we have a rather steep
learning
curve. As Fire Chief, Wm. Markgraf is the nominal head of the system.
The
other 3 "national dispatchers" are employees of the CFD.
The telephone number for the Columbia Fire Department is 573 874 7391.
Home number for Chief Markgraf is 576 446 1641;
E-Mail: mark...@tranquility.net
The CFD Web Page is: www.ci.columbia.mo.us which is the citywide page,
then
select the fire department. Other dispatchers include Battalion Chief
Ron
McCord, Lieutenant Steve Sapp, and Engineer Dan McGavick. We sign by
CFN/(and then our LAN identifications which is usually our initials.)
For "snail
mail" communications we may be reached at:
Columbia Fire Department,
201 Orr Street,
Columbia, Missouri 65201.

A few thoughts:
1.) You might post this information on a website with searching
capabilities. 865 lines (8000+ words) is a bit much to read, especially
since it's so geographically diverse.
2.) Double-spaced text is VERY frustrating to read. Disorganized text is
even worse.
3.) Is this a spam? Are you trying to promote a service, or are you
"helping" people who might need these services? There was a cross-post a
few months ago from an ems/emt/ert newsgroup asking about paging services.
THAT group may be much more appropriate, or perhaps (gasp) cross posting so
they'll see the information. If it's a spam to sell paging service - then
it has no business here, especially if you directly or indirectly profit
from sales.
4.) You might also update the information, Airtouch is now Verizon -
MobileComm is now Arch - and there were a few more.
Other than that, I'm sure this information will assist someone.
