Fire

Norman Fire Department

EMERGENCY: 405 - 321 - 3131 or 9-1-1 within Norman

Radio test 0830, first Sunday of the month

Department is dispatched by PD. Stations are toned out with selcal-style tones, followed by a warbling alert tone. One tone is usually a non-structure fire, two tones is usually a medical call (one FD tone, one for EMSSTAT), three tones is usually a reported structure fire.

Transmitters are at Engines 1, 2 and 6.

The NFD recently took delivery of two new engines, both KME/International chassis. The new Engine 4 has a 1250 gal/min pump with a 55' teleboom and the new Engine 5 is a 1000 gal/min pumper. More recently (7/1998), a new Rescue has been acquired and the Snorkel has been remounted on a new chassis.

NFD Notes

Some LaFrance stuff, some E-One ... A few Boardmans ... KMEs lately. Apparatus is numbered for mutual aid - Engine 1 says "E 23", Engine 2 says "E 22", Truck 2 says "T 31", etc.

Complete list. Could use help matching Mutual Aid numbers to units that I haven't already identified.

NFD began running first response service on EMS calls on 9/1/1995. New apparatus is lettered for "Norman Fire-Rescue".


EMS

EMSSTAT

Note that EMSSTAT units can operate on NPD and OUDPS frequncies as well as Norman Fire.

Paramedic ambulance service operated by Norman Regional Hospital. Units ID as EMSSTAT 10, EMSSTAT 20, etc. Don't know which units respond from which station. Command is EMSSTAT 95. Operated by NPD prior to FY1996.


Law Enforcement

Norman Police Department

EMERGENCY: 405 - 321 - 1444 or 9-1-1 within Norman

Units ID as "1 John 1" or "1 Adam 1". Numbers are as follows:

So "1 Adam 2" would be the second day shift car assigned to the "Adam" beat. Note that the first digit is often truncated at times when there is no overlap of shifts. NOTE: Most if not all NPD units are also equipped with commercial cell phones. Cell phones are unencrypted, so fortunately for the police, Congress has made it illegal to listen to cell phones.

University of Oklahoma Department of Public Safety

EMERGENCY: 405 - 325 - 1911 or 9-1-1 on campus

OUDPS provides police services on the University of Oklahoma campus. During football games, "CP" uses F1 and regular ops move to F2 with "OU" becoming "Headquarters" .

Cleveland County Sheriff's Office

EMERGENCY: 405 - 321 - 8600 or 9-1-1 within Cleveland County
