INDIANAPOLIS — A state-of-the-art automated dispatch system will soon help firefighters save precious seconds when they respond to calls, Indianapolis Fire Department officials said.
The $1.1 million radio system is still about four to six weeks out, but the department has already begun testing the automated calls, 6News’ Jack Rinehart reported.
The calm, female voice is generated by what operators type into the computer system, which enables them to save time and dispatch multiple crews at once.
