looking for help on an incident

I am currently in Northeast Oakland County, with a base scanner antenna that is mounted about 100' up. I am picking up a fully involved house fire communications on 460.575. I know its not Macomb Twp in Macomb County, and they keep making references to an Engine 4-13. I dont know if this is even in Michigan, but looking to see if anyone might be hearing some of it as well that can assist me. thanks

RadioReference.com - Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference Database[]=26&freq=460.575

Indicates the departments utilizing that frequency in Michigan. A bit more info would probably help, did you happen to get a PL tone? Any cross streets?

Dave,

Still trying to help you out...Rather than 4-13 possible 413? Sounds like maybe it was Delta Township Fire.

Here is the link to their apparatus...however now sure how old these pictures are but Engine 413 was still under construction....

I am hearing static and voices in the background but not able to pull anything out as of right now...

I'm out of area now and not listening but 413 (engine) and 460.575(repeater, dispatch freq. by Eaton County) match delta fire. Check WLNS or WILX to confirm.

We had a fire (likely fatal) in Delta Township last night, Engines 431 and 413 were the first in and most of the traffic involved them.

Thanks for confirming that Rob, so the answer was it was Delta Township. I can almost hear them but not quite...cant wait to get my new antenna up this spring and up higher!
