emsCharts Changes
On 1/1/23 I will be making some changes to emsCharts. The CHS Case # and CAD Event # will be swapping places. This is anticipation of CAD import going live at some point next year. I will be turning off all data points that pertain to running out of the Hilton Station. 08-18 shift will be turned back on.
