  • can you explain what exactly an aid response is?

  • @Coasterrider210 Hi and thanks for the good question. In the Seattle FD, an Aid Response is one in which only Basic Life Support care is anticipated by dispatch, based on the nature of the call. A Medic Response is one in which Advanced Life Support is anticipated. Medic units are dispatched on Medic Responses. Aid Units, Engines, and Ladders are dispatched on Aid Responses. Note that Medic 32 was available in quarters when this dispatch was made, but L11 was sent.

  • Retired after 30 yrs in the FD, loved it would do it again in a heart beat. Started in a structure dept and retired from a Airport Dept, ARFF AirCraftRescureFireFighting.

  • @ColinFWheeler i see, thx4info!

  • @h0ktar Hi and thanks for the question.  Yes, it's legal to monitor fire and police dispatch frequencies in the U.S. You just can't transmit on the channels.

  • @ColinFWheeler

    but is this legal?

    Our scanners here in Austria are cryptographically secured and listening to the communication as a "civilian" is illegal.

    No offense, I'm just curious!

  • The firefighters at this station should complain to the DPW to get out there and plow and salt the street. Bad enough they put their lives in danger in a fire but looks like pulling in and out of station is kinda hazardous.

  • Yes, you just need to have a scanner that is programmed to their frequencies. In the case of the Seattle FD, you'll need a trunking scanner.

  • wow, so can anybody listen to radio transmissions from firefighters?

  • Hi. It's a scanner (Radio Shack Pro-528 Triple Trunking scanner)
