'''Shift One FRS/GMRS Channel:''' If fire station volunteers have access to FRS/GMRS radios, they could be used to speak amongst each other to check in before shift. If the cohort decides to take this route, they should choose an agreed FRS/GMRS channel to speak on. | '''Shift One FRS/GMRS Channel:''' If fire station volunteers have access to FRS/GMRS radios, they could be used to speak amongst each other to check in before shift.

Shift One for the BEECNs served by your fire station: The BEECN cohorts who use a fire station as a Primary Relay should share their Shift One start time with the fire station volunteers. That will allow fire station volunteer crews to sync their Shift One with theirs. If possible, a fire station cohort should activate at the same time as the first BEECN to activate served by that Primary Relay. PBEM can help fire station volunteers reach their served BEECN cohorts. | |||

The timing of Shift One establishes the operational cadence at the fire station that follows. Provided there are no events that interrupt BEECN operations, a response timeline at the fire station will look like this (in this example, Shift One begins at 0600: | The timing of Shift One establishes the operational cadence at the fire station that follows.
