FF/EMT here. Love our radios. Super reliable. All the data stuff is crap. Our terminals and mapping are always losing connections. Same with paper maps. We still have big ones on our wall in the bay. Mandatory to look at it before we roll - we’ve added layers for hydrants and landing zones, etc. Best fire apparatus still have manual valves. All the electric and pneumatic stuff fails at the worst of time’s. I do REALLY miss Nextel phone to phone though. That stuff was super useful. Don’t get me wrong. I love tech. Retired Microsoft. Always have to have the latest. Apple Watch 6 on order. Can’t wait for Quest 2... but not on the foreground. I do miss Nextel though. Did I mention that? Oh. And the InReach (and PLB) stuff is awesome for back country work. |
