Public calls for service ring at the county PSAP located at the St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office in Forrest City but are dispatched by EMSA dispatchers at the EMSA communications center, which is located at Forrest City Medical Center. EMSA also has its own number that rings at their communications center.

Radio traffic consists of plain English communication only.

The communications center answers to “dispatch.” Ambulance crews identify themselves with the unit they’re assigned to, all of which are 100 series numbers. Individuals not operating as part of a crew, such as administrative staff, use 200 series callsigns.
