I remember hearing them on FDNY EMS a while back but now it's seems that every VAC is given a MARS radio instead and are NOT allowed on FDNY EMS. When did this happen?

What is MARS, guys?
(Other than the Military Auxiliary Radio System!)[/
Mike has the correct answer
MARS is Mutual Aid Radio System and it is trunked now on the NYC DOITT radio system.
155.715 is still used in some areas for LZ operations, but the frequency agile radios in the LifeNet birds allow them to transmit almost anywhere, so .715 use is becoming rare (at least here in ENY).
Why would they drop 715 for interagency tac? The state police have their side and fire has their side so EMS should have their own as well. If an MCI that involved several counties was transmitted how would the surrounding counties be able to communicate among each?
Anybody have a list of statewide and nationwide wide tac frequencies used by pd, fd and EMS?
