fire tone-out info for Bexar County 396T users...

muddy mudskipper · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2005, 11:31 AM

ha. bet you thought i was posting it here. not quite.

i am trying to organize the information through some of my resources, avoiding decoding the damned things with software.

we have quite a few VFD's in Bexar County, and any help would be appreciated.

my only lead so far is that Windcrest uses 67Hz/67Hz, unknown tone length.

i should have more soon. a LOT more.

not exactly... you should find that there are a lot of common tone freqs with Bexar County...

Windcrest Fire uses 643

common tones are 643, 701, 765, 832, 1082, 1153, 1180, 1433, 1465, 2100, 2200 and 2400

If you use a program like cool edit and change the combinations of the above, you are bound to hear some familiar combinations.

Here's some for you

Gardendale Fire Tone A 701 Tone B 643 3x1 format (Plectron)

Harmony Fire Tone A 765 Tone B 2100 3x1 format (Plectron)

South Bexar Fire Tone A 765 Tone B 2200 3x1 format (Plectron)

Sandy Oaks Fire Tone A 1433 Tone B 1153 1x3 format (QCII)
Sandy Oaks EMS LONG B 1153 Plectron single tone (~6 seconds)

Jarret Fire Tone A 765 Tone B 2400 3x1 format (Plectron)

Somerset Fire Tone A 765 Tone B 1465 1x3 format (QCII)

Helotes Fire Tone A 701 Tone B 2400 3x1 format (Plectron)

Grey Forest Fire Tone A 701 Tone B 1465 3x1 format (plectron)

Lone Oak Fire Tone A 1180 Tone B 2200 3x1 format (plectron)

Now I dont remember who had what, but Bexar Bulverde and Camelot also
started off with Tone A 701, however 1 dept had 2100 and the other 2200 for their B fire tones, also using the 3 second x 1 second format

I *think* China Grove fire is 1180 and 643, but am not sure

i think some are also changing or being eliminated.

like Shavano Park FD.

i will have to get more information on this.

Shavano Park is dispatched by Alamo Heights. When fire alarm moved to the new BCSO comm center, Shavano Park FD stayed with where their PD was dispatched out of. I do not
know what their new primary channel is for fire dispatch, or if they are dispatched on Alamo Heights Fire primary.

0155.9775 Shavano FD On 136.5
0153.7700 Shavano FD TAC On
0155.9550 Shavano FD TAC On

I also just learned that Alamo Heights no longer dispatches for Shavano Park... its now being done by Castle Hills.

Hollywood Park is contemplating going to Bexar County for their dispatch services as well.

Camelot is ...Tone A 701 B 2100 Fire
If they are still doing their EMS it is Tone A B 1321.2

I was with Camelot from 1993-2001
But they may have changed and not use the EMS tone now
