I work in private EMS and work 24 hour shifts. Our building and the one where dispatch is in is separated by a parking lot. So, at night, the page will go to the trucks cell phone and the dispatcher will call in to sleeping quarters. Who ever answers the phone has to wake up the crew he wants to respond. So, everyone gets woke up or has their sleep disrupted to alert 1 crew. Its not like at my volunteer/part time fire dept where we have enough for a EMS or squad crew where dispatch tones us out, this is a constant thing and I feel like noises now get me anxious and find my sleep schedule screwed up while off duty.
Is there a better way of alerting a crew without bothering everyone else?
