While monitoring my local fire and rescue frequency today I heard the dispatcher explain to our ambulance crew they could no longer communication with Altoona because Altoona no longer has our radio frequency and mutual aid communications are no longer possible so they used the phone now!

So I started to search the RACOM sites and found 3 new Fire Talk Groups so far I have:

1889- Listed in RR as a new Fire Dispatch and Paging replacing 151.460
1901-unlisted I hear fire training
1927-unlisted I hear fire training

If all Polk Co fire units had the VHF radios removed from their units how can they communicate with other agencies still using VHF?

Polk county has flipped the fire/ems radio system on its head. Lots of new GIDs on RACOM, not much left on VHF anymore. I have a list of what most of them are somewhere, I'll try and dig it up.

Polk Co Fire on RACOM

A list of the new TG's would be nice so far I have:

1841-Main Disp (154.310)
1889-Paging (151.460)
1901-Unknown fire TG
1927-Unknown fire TG

I would still like to know how Prairie City is going to interop with Altoona Fire now.
