How does Nextel (Direct Connect) figure into the operation of CFP?
Dispatchers and members extensively use Nextel to coordinate operations, report from on scene, and now take live incident info. Click here for ID numbers to call. And now, a few words on Nextel etiquette: When attempting to contact someone, simply “click” them once without saying anything. If they are available, they will answer you. Never use the alert feature unless you know for sure that someone might be operating on the fireground. Your compliance with these simple rules will be greatly appreciated.
