Fire units getting EMS radio access.

[tbendick]

Radio shops will be reprogramming all mobile radios in Engines and Ladders citywide and adding the EMS dispatch channels.

Engines are now authorized to use the EMS channels while operating on EMS Boxes.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!
However, the draw back to this is they will probably be bugging the already overworked EMS Dispatchers with, "You got an ETA on the bus??" Or "Could you put a rush on the bus??"

I agree and 9 times out of 10 the rush on the bus is not necessary they just don't want to bne there. No EMS needs access to the fire channels.
