Toned out of class

That's why a video recorder helps. There was actually an unexpected preemptive tone that I reacted to, so that's why I knew a call was coming up.

Hahaha, back when I had the Minitor II, the damn thing went off in the middle of Christmas Sermon on Christmas Eve at my Church, of course I was sitting in the front.

my FD we dont have pagers we have to carry our radios were ever we go (found out our church wireless mics can pick up the call too) not good while in the middle of church needless to say i dont bring my radio into church anymore

@141fire

At my station we have both a pager and a radio. Most of the time if we're just hanging out in the station, we know when a call is coming in before the station alarm goes off lol First we have the screen that shows all calls (PD,EMS, and other fire sections) then the radio goes off, then the pager, then the station alarm. Obviously all within seconds of eachother haha but we definitely know when we need to go!

@FFbosmoe Did he say something along the lines of "Go and do the lords dirty work, they must be saved!"

@VolunteerFireEMS Lucky, my FD get's maybe 50-60 calls a year if we're lucky, mostly in the summer. When I'm in school we get a call maybe once every week and a half to two weeks.

That's why I just have my pager on vibrate. As soon as it goes off I'm usually out the door before the actual call comes through the speaker so I don't have to worry about the looks like that haha.

@coolsax64 Do that now. Unfortunately Minitor II's don't have the vibrate option.
