Radio User Group (JRUG), a collection of 13 San Joaquin County (CA)
fire districts, has transferred all its emergency medical and fire
dispatching services to AMR's new LifeCom communications facility
in Salida, Calif. The LifeCom facility is one of only two privately
operated emergency EMS and Fire dispatching centers operated in
Northern California, the second being AMR's RedCom Center in Sonoma
County, Calif. "AMR is pleased that JRUG has chosen LifeCom to
provide all of their dispatching needs and we look forward to
working with our EMS partners long into the future," said Brad
White, AMR Regional Vice President of Operations. The facility now
provides dispatch services for 21 agencies, including AMR, JRUG and
seven other private ambulance providers throughout San Joaquin and
Stanislaus counties. Managing thousands of emergency calls each
month, LifeCom is considered by many in the emergency medical
services industry as one of the most advanced emergency dispatch
centers in California. The center has 40 employees, each of whom is
accredited in emergency medical and fire dispatch. The LifeCom
facility is accredited by the National Academies of Emergency
Medical Dispatch, the industry's "gold standard" for dispatch
services. "We have been looking forward to this day since AMR took
over dispatching services for San Joaquin County," said Woodbridge
Fire Chief Michael Kirkle. "With LifeCom, we get simultaneous
dispatching and access to the most highly trained dispatchers and
technical personnel in the industry, resulting in faster response
times for the citizens we serve," Kirkle concluded. American
