Riverside City Fire

Post by rcb »

FYI, Riverside City Fire has discontinued the use of the 2-tone sequential radio tones to activate the fire stations. All stations alerts are activated via a data network and the 2-tone is only a backup system now. All dispatches will be preceded by a 3 beep alert.

Probably about the time the PSEC starts being used (late 2012/early 2013).

I figured that but I was curious on a more accurate time frame.

With all the changes coming this and early next year, it is very likely that we could see that happen in the next few months.
