I heard a call the other day from 6DS to an ambulance, to ask if they had a Red or Black phone with them. They had both, 6DS asked the medic to push the distress button on the red one, as one had gone off before.
What's the difference between the 2 phones, and how different are they to a normal one?
Cheers,
Red Phone, Black Phone

some country sub centres have shift phones....ie pinjarra, bunbury,
red phone = red shift
blue phone = blue shift
green pone = green shift
black phone = black shift
its just a variatuion from the standard phone system for ambulances that is based on sequencial numbers relating to the vans fleet number..

Sweet, so do metro units then have a heap of mobiles all with sequential numbers, and the end numbers tie into the overall ambulance number, i.e. ambulance 133 will have phone number 04** *** 133 ?? That's how I understood it.Ambul8 wrote: its just a variatuion from the standard phone system for ambulances that is based on sequencial numbers relating to the vans fleet number..

That way we can chit chat.Tyranus wrote:Sweet, so do metro units then have a heap of mobiles all with sequential numbers, and the end numbers tie into the overall ambulance number, i.e. ambulance 133 will have phone number 04** *** 133 ??

the fleet number is also how the data is assigned to the truck. ie comms staff allocate a crew to a truck (ie Warwick into truck 56) and that then is how the CAD sends the data

ahhh awesome, now those calls make a lot more sense! Although, the reply to the question always seems to be over an MDT, as I've never heard a response.
