Whats the rubbish mate? - If you could just clarify your statement.
Who was the agency notified first of the call? .. Do you know.have the times for when each agency received notification in comparison to the time the call was received? .. Do you know what details were given upon receipt of the call? .. - If you could answer those for me in clarification of your statement of the dispatch being rubbish, then I may be able to comment on the matter. - But at the moment I can't, because I don't know the facts, and im not just going to go off the pager website.

Well said, all too often on this forum, it seems that some people have nothiing better to do with their life except, tune in to the scanner, eye the paging system and create rumeors.
I'd also like to add that unless the pager/response error directly concerns you or your brigade, keep you fingers off the keyboard and shut the (hmm cant write that word) up. sure ask a question about it.
Don't try to put a puzzle together unless you have all the peices.
No matter what is said, a person will only ever make the correct decision at the time. cause if they new it was wrong they wouldn't make it.. although in hindsight you may have been able to make a better one. These guys in com cens do a great job, even with the ERS7 system we had trucks go the wrong way due to communication breakdowns.
Please remember they work only with the information avaliable.
lets be positive and not bash the messengers.
