The issue of how to handle move-ups and/or fill-ins is becoming more and more a reoccurring topic in Guilford County. While Guilford County is not unique we do recognize that our county has a wide-range of department types from all-volunteer, single station combination departments, multi-station combination departments, and 2 large all-career departments. We are looking for ways to develop a model in which the 911 center can handle move-ups and/or fill-ins when a benchmark is hit such as a working incident or 2nd alarm. Currently, we have departments that want to handle their own fill-ins, some that want GM911 to determine who goes, and others that quite frankly never consider it or think about it. 

If you have any thoughts on this or know of a system that we could look at I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks,
