I've recently changed jobs myself. I'm now a PSAP operator/dispatcher in Toronto. It's pretty hectic sometimes, but it's a step in the right direction towards my goal of becoming an EMD.

Hello from an EMD in Orlando, FL. I used to work with someone who dispatched for Toronto. Pretty busy.

It definetely stays busy around here. I work for fire rescue and answer 911, tactical radio and the county MedCom.

Hit me up and we'll compare notes sometime.

I have certification for Tower Safety & Rescue. Any broadcast or cell tower that you see in your city/country are always maintained by tower climbers and riggers.

In the event of someone not being 100% tied-off (connected to the tower at all times) and falls or becomes stuck on the tower, people like myself will respond and rescue them. Much more efficient than your local FD or EMT rescuers as we're trained specifically for that kind of event (no hard feelings...).

You can find more info at ComTrain LLC, NATE, and Wireless Estimator.
