Story time: I was outside this past weekend and heard lots of sirens. Wondering what was going on, I downloaded one of those "police scanner" apps and listened in to my local fire/police force. Curiously, they had two channels - one that I could listen to, and one for "onsite" that I could not. I know this because they talked about this other "channel" on the one I could listen to. They did this for organizational purposes as there were quite a few units from multiple towns responding and needed to "clear" the main line for big announcements. I have no idea if this is relevant, but I found it interesting, and IMHO appropriate given the sensitive nature of the event (house fire).
