Is the vhf side of the fire dispatch shut off or did they move to another frequency again?

Last I heard they were moving to data only dispatching on VHF. Also possibly new CAD system involved?
Well man, they got rid of the 010 frequency and did voice on 155.070 for the longest
With all the updating and tweaking of the Rankin County Emergency Services as they adjust to the new *to them* MSWIN system, and upgrades to pretty much all systems they use,... Things can change on an daily basis with them. From what I am told, by November they hope to have some, if not all, of the mini sites up and running, and then we will see if things finally start going the right way for em.

Would be crazy to hear them taking away the voice paging, they just invested so much to have that back.... including the cost for all new pagers for every single firefighter.
Might be doing some more tweaking to the VHF. Last guy that is with the EOC I talked to said they wanted to go full data paging in next few years.

They were 100% data over alphanumeric pagers all of two years ago... After major issues with the system and them unable to keep it online they built out this new VHF voice paging system. Most of the pagers are still just over a year old, I would highly doubt they plan to throw all of those away after just buying quite a few hundred of them, but I could be wrong.

I hate to disagree, but I hear all dispatches on MSWIN. Talkgroup 46595.
They are as well but they are also on highband dude. Just because you haven't heard them page on highband doesn't mean they don't. Does Warren Co still page out on highband?

I heard rankin yesterday so they still do it, as in for warren Co, all the time, most ops are on the 154.175 and still going
They still use 154.175, but they are linked to MSWIN for ops and fireground channels
