Which channel is used for dispatch coordination between Nassau Fire/Rescue and other agencies?

• A. A2
• B. A13
• C. A5
• D. A4

Answer: (B)

Coordinating dispatch with multiple agencies relies on a dedicated interoperability channel so requests for resources and status updates can flow clearly across agencies. For Nassau Fire/Rescue, that channel is A13. It’s set aside specifically for cross-agency dispatch coordination, helping police, EMS, and other responders stay on the same page during incidents. Other channels are typically assigned to internal operations, single-agency tactical talk, or different functions, so they aren’t the appropriate choice for interagency dispatch coordination. When working a multi-agency incident, switch to A13 to coordinate dispatch, then move back to the appropriate channel as the situation evolves.
