Fire chief raises Box Cards dispatch concern; annual run totals reported
Summary
Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Chief Todd Winder reported 339 total incidents year-to-date and asked supervisors to review the Box Cards dispatch settings, saying the county "isn’t flowing a GPS" and noting neighboring policy differences on lights.
Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Chief Todd Winder told supervisors the fire company handled 339 incidents year-to-date and flagged a dispatching issue with the township’s Box Cards system that may be hindering response coordination. He said the county is not providing a GPS feed to the Box Cards and noted that neighboring Warrior Run has a policy of not turning on lights in some responses, calling for the supervisors to review the Box Cards configuration.
Chief Winder gave the department’s incident totals: EMS 269, Box alarm 7, Rescue 38, Tactical 7, still alarms 17, Hazardous Materials 1, Water rescue 0, total incidents 339. He asked the board to identify which supervisor can authorize changes to the Box Cards so the Fire Company’s concerns can be addressed with county dispatch.
