Yeah, it got changed around a couple of times during the big snow storm,
and they settled on the current system, with 1 as main dispatch 2/7 EMS
and 3/4 fireground.  It looks like they're going to keep it that way (I
was told by my chief that was the way they had it originally, way back
when).  They're also making ambulances respond on the EMS channels, used
to be you responded on 2/7 and then switched over to 1.  Now they still
get dispatched on 1, but you're supposed to respond on 2/7.
