Does everyone in a 3 or 4 mile radious have to find out if my house goes on fire at 3:00am???? Somebody mentioned earlier (thanks for the info ITSBOB) that some firefighter's pager when off 5 minutes!!! before the siren did.
Was it to wake up the one firefighter that lives next to the station?
Don't tell me that every firefighter lives next to the station... I simply can't believe that.
Those fortunate enough to have pagers get to hear the call when it first goes out. It will then go out a second time and that is when the siren goes off. The siren also alerts volunteers to what the call is one for fire, two for auto accident, three for a medical call (or along those lines, I don't exactly remember which is which). This way a volunteer who is a firefighter only knows he doesn't have to respond if it's a medical call.
