I currently reside in cold, snowy Johnstown, PA. But am hoping to hear soon from Okaloosa County 911 as to a job I applied for. My sis is stationed in FWB, so I will be moving there to start.
I have been a dispatcher with our county for 7 years doing fire, ems, 4 different police frequencies and a medical helicopter out of a local hospital (2 bases). We dispatch 49 fire depts (all VFD with 1 paid professional dept), 26 ems stations (9 are VFD based), 36 part- and full-time police departments. We have 2 call-take only positions, 7 call-take and dispatch positions and one supervisor position. We work with a max of 8 and a min of 4 on the floor varying on the time of day and rotate on platoons with 12-hour shifts, daylight or night turn.
At this time I have been dating a Fire Chief of a VFD for 9 years, but he doesn't want to move with me.
Just wanted to know how things go in Okaloosa. One thing I did notice is our watchdesk thread in Cambria County, PA gets a lot more activity.
Can't wait to get to Fl.
