SDFD: New Real Time Dispatch Information Website

San Diego Fire-Rescue Dispatch Online
SAN DIEGO - The nature of every 911 call answered by San Diego fire-rescue and the address where the emergency is taking place can be seen by the public on a new website, the department announced Monday.

The website -- www.sdfiredispatch.org -- was created to cut down on the number of calls to 911 by people who hear sirens and want to know what's going on, according to Susan Infantino, communications manager of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
"Fire dispatchers are on the front line of emergency response," she said in a statement. "Answering questions from curious callers not only delays them from doing the important job of emergency dispatch. It clogs the phone lines and could delay a legitimate 911 call from getting through."

The website is updated every five minutes, 24 hours a day. It does not list specific patient information.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
