<div>The radio system continues to experience issues. Those issues are: </div>
<div>1. The intermittent inability to send and receive transmissions on the primary and FTAC channels.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">2. Echoing after a transmission.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">AFD has moved to using the back up radio channels. This has broken the patch between Firecom North/South and East/West. It will also take away the ability to patch to a MedCom channel. We have asked EMS to come to our FTAC channel on an incident
involving both agencies.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;">WCSD believes they have identified the issue and hope to confirm and address that later today.</span></div>
