In Reply to: Sno Co FD1 - "Rescue" units... posted by Brad on March 01, 2001 at 18:30:00:
: I read in a local paper a few weeks ago that Sno County Fire District 1 (County Fire, North of Lynnwood and South of Everett) has decided to spread their paramedics throughout the stations in their district - rather than have dedicated "Medic" units (that would run with 2 paramedics each). I guess the new plan would place 1 paramedic in every station in the district, and the aid cars will all run with 1 paramedic/1 EMT (or 1 paramedic, 2 EMT's).
: It appears that plan is now in effect. I'm hearing SNOCOM (154.010, 127.3hz)dispatch "Rescue" units to medic calls now, rather than the traditional "Aid XX, Medic XX".
: I'll keep listening throughout the day to see if I continue to hear this correctly. So far, I haven't hear the old Medic 11 or Medic 21 units dispatched to anything - only "Rescue 11", "Rescue 12", and "Rescue 13". I have never heard these units before today.
