    I do know that FirstNet was impacted. The tablets in our fire apparatus couldn’t connect which is kind of a pain in the neck because we use that to navigate, locate fire hydrants and view their flow capabilities and whether they’re out of service, store maintenance phone numbers, view building blueprints and material safety data sheets, view responding apparatus and locations, identify helicopter landing sites, etc.

    Like the job will still get done but it does throw a wrench in our ability to coordinate larger responses.

      Our firstnet was also down. That defeats half of the reason for it, the other being dedicated against network congestion.
