To tell you the truth I have never heard Strathmere on the air. On the county list they are known as Station 9. Ocean City dispatches for Upper Twp (158.94) and for at least the last 3 years Ocean City FD (154.445) has provided both EMS and fire service to Strathmere. I think Upper gives OC $10000.00 a year for fire coverage. EMS is direct billing. OCFD E3 is at 46th St and the bridge is 55th St so they can get there fairly quickly. Until last week when they had two fires almost every call was EMS. OCFD provides a first responder engine on EMS calls along w/EMS. The most frequent call is water rescue when Upper Twp lifeguards are off duty. OCFD remains on the OC freq while operating in Strathmere.
Test is done at 1800hrs nightly on 154.3400 dpl 664. THis is there dispatch channel. Going to need to update.
For what it worth Strathmere is not a seperate municipality. It is a section of Upper Twp just like Tuckahoe, Marmora, etc are sections. If you look at Upper you will see 154.34 listed. Not sure why Strathmere is listed seperately in the DB.
Yes they were. I had the feed up and heard the calling District 9 numerous times.
