Brown The 911 emergency system system is a step closer to being completed with the launch of a new centrally located dispatch system in the Town of Newcastle. The new feature of the Newcastle Fire Department will be operated by four dispatchers dispatchers at the fire hall in Bowmanville. The dispatchers, who have been hired from the part-time firefighters, will answer emergency calls on a 24 hour basis. Each of the dispatchers will work 12 hour shifts for four days and then take four daÿs off. According to Fire Chief Mike Creighton, dispatch will be a stepping stone into firefighting. "Anyone who is hired will be hired as a dispatcher, then if an opening comes on the floor, they will move to firefighting." Dispatchers will learn proper radio procedures, familiarize familiarize themselves with all areas in the municipality and acquire an understanding understanding of the Edward alarm panels before they become firefighters. Chief Creighton says that "when any new dispatcher comes in, he will be trained by the dispatchers that are being trained now. The dispatchers dispatchers will also be training training all the firefighters." When a dispatcher is on lunch break, is away from work because of an illness, or is on holidays, the firefighters firefighters will fill in. The dispatchers will also be doing a certain amount of firefighting training. Chief Creighton said when the dispatcher is doing training, a firefighter will assume the dispatcher's duties. duties. The new system will also benefit the younger firefighters firefighters who have a limited amount of sick time. "If a firefighter is hurt and can't perform his firefighting firefighting duties and if they run out of sick time, they can take the place of the dispatcher dispatcher and the dispatcher will do the firefighting." The new dispatch system brings the municipality a step closer to the complete installation of the 911 system system in our municipality.
