Question 10

Off-the-Air at Quarters Other Than Your Own

Answer 10

Battalion Chiefs visiting quarters other than their own for more than 15 minutes can have their alarms forwarded to those quarters. Upon arrival at the quarters being visited, the dispatcher is notified by radio or telephone that the Battalion is 10-9 at the quarters of the visited unit. Dispatcher then [relocates] battalion into those quarters, and all alarms for that Battalion will then be displayed on the screen and printed through that unit’s PC/ATS in quarters. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, HOWEVER, MUST BE MADE VIA RADIO OR MDT. WHEN leaving quarters where a Battalion Chief has been visiting, the signal 10-8 Code 1 must be given verbally to the dispatcher. Then the dispatcher will “unrelocate” the battalion in order to have subsequent alarms sent to the Battalion’s original quarters.
