Hi Anthony
Sincere crongratulations on your instructor of the year award. Your efforts and enthusiasm have extended across the globe to make us all better at what we do.
Chief Anthony!
From Paraguay, South America, Congrats on your Instructor of the Year award!!!!!!!
Chief, Congrats on your Instructor of the Year award. It has been an honor to learn from you at Monmouth County and NJCU! Hoping to see you at graduation this year.
Hi Anthony,
Toronto Fire Services has used this Mayday procedure since 2007. We change channels on transmission of a Mayday and it can only be done by Incident Command. It is not an automatic move as we use repeated channels and have both a simplex and digital system. Based on what is being used and type of fire - High Rise vs. Structural/Residential or even Subway our channels are dictated by certain incidents because of radio strength and transmission capability. We do not encourage more than 2 channels as we have found FF's lose track of which sector has which channel. TFS recently used this system on Jan 3rd where we managed to resuce 2 FF's who fell into a burning 3 story structure. Everything else you mentioned is exactly the same in regards to who stays on what channel.

Hi Anthony. Thank you for responding.
At first I would like to know about the radio technology; the kind of radio that you use; the frequency of each of the three channels; are you operating with push-to-talk in simplex, semi-duplex; the channel power, etc. since none of this information can be taken for granted as it is too easy to elicit the wrong requirements for communicating on the fireground. Thank you for your inputs
My scholarship to the USA has been approved and I'd like to visit your department. The dates have been brought forward to October this year to line up with an event in Europe. Is this going to be possible? I've now got such short notice to tee things up with people.
Mike D - New Zealand.
Happy Thanksgiving
Stay safe
