CFA Capcodes Info

Post by Blake »

I dare say that before clicking, you thought this would be another 'what are the capcodes for [this area]' thread. :wink:
Well, you'd be wrong. Cause that's not the info i'm looking for blokes. 8)

Thought someone could shed some light on not actual capcodes, but what capcodes.
Let me explain:
Taking for instance the CFA pagers, they'll hold what, either 6 or 8 seperate capcodes (depending on model?).
Now, a mate of mine has recently been forced to carry three seperate pagers (he's in the cfa and ses) until he can get a higher capacity pager.
I would assume therefore that pagers would have many if not all 'available spaces' filled.
Now, the big question, what are these capcodes (generically).
I.e. obviously you would have a brigade capcode for incidents / turnouts.
Would there also be an individual (either pager or person) capcode?
What about a group capcode?
OTA updates capcode?
I believe that it would depend on the individual's roles, i.e. IMT, captain, DGO etc. etc.

Could any of you awesome blokes shed some light???
Cheers fellas.

Most would be as follows: Brigade Capcode, Individual pager capcode, Group capcode, district capcode, state capcode (chief officers dropbox). Then possibly BMT if an officer, group all calls if a dgo or go, any other specialist role they may undertake, eg EMR. Hope that sheds some light.
