As a sad, sad substitute for a scanner, I sometimes monitor the Seattle Fire Department's Real-Time 911 page: http://www2.seattle.gov/fire/realTime91 ... sSmall.htm Often I see this curious phrase in the "Type" column: "Medic Response, 7 per Rule" Does anybody have a clue as to what it means? |

It is called a Med 7 response meaning a minium of 7 persons required to run the call, usually a CPR or Assault with Weapons response. |

In Snohomish County SNOPAC would call this a MED X Responce |

Is there any significance between the entries in bold type and those not in bold type. |

Thank you Sgt Bilko! Some time ago I heard that under certain circumstances medical personel are not allowed to respond until the scene is "secure." Thismust be something like that. Sounds like a good idea! |

Gampawayne asked: "Is there any significance between the entries in bold type and those not in bold type." Oh! I know this one!! The calls shown in bold type are still active. As soon as a call is resolved or closed it will change over to regular type. |

This has been arround for over 20 years. Do you really think a broken arm needs the same response as a Cardiac Arrest???????? You always got the closest SFD Eng. Co. with 3 on board, you got the closest Aid Car with 2 on board and you got the closest Medic Unit with 2 on board. |
