St. Claire's Medics


I couldn't help but notice that during the roll over this morning on Route 80 in Hardwick, ALS 517 didn't sign on until a good 20 minutes after the initial report of the rollover. In fact, the Medevac was cancelled before they signed on.

The reason I bring this up is that ever since Micom has taken over dispatching, it seems that it is taking the medics longer to get the call. At least that is my perception and I have nothing to base this on except what I hear on the radio.

So has this move from CenCom to Micom really benefited anyone? Is Micom prioritizing Bergen & Passaic County calls over the St. Claire's Medics? I will be listening more closely now.
