Abstract: A computer software and hardware system for fire stations is described which provides communications utilizing SMS (Short Message Service) cellular phone text messaging automatically notifying firemen or other personnel of an emergency page when their dispatch pages them via radio dispatch or by other means. Responses from this SMS text message are replied to via SMS text messaging with a code letter and their response is displayed on a screen at their station so other responding firemen know if, who, and where other firemen are responding. Users can also opt to automatically receive on their cell phones an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message containing a multimedia sound recording of the actual emergency dispatch voice page.
