Brian, this came to me from a colleague in the National Volunteer Fire Council and is a Supervisory Instructor, West Virginia University Fire Service Extension. The email is self explanatory. If anyone has encountered these issues they may be able to guide him. This is the first I have heard. Please forward to the group. Thanks Bill

 

 

 

 

 

Friends,
 
My department has been experiencing some serious issues with Motorola Minitor V pagers, e.g. the amplified chargers are burning up and could potentially cause a fire.  We have seen issues with the charging cord(s) with the "box" literally "flaming out".
 
Have any of you or your departments had issues with this model?  If so, please advise.  Please feel free to distribute this inquiry to your contact list(s).
 
Please have all responses sent to me at tmiller@station26.org or tomfirerescue@msn.com.
 
I appreciate in advance your time and attention to this request for information.
 
Thanks,
 
Tom Miller
