Roselle Park FD is still dispatched on 453.5625 MHz and just being simulcasted on NJICS. (hoping it stays this way)

Cranford FD is also still on 476.900 and just being simulcasted on NJICS

(Should the DB recognize 476.825 MHz as still being alocated to Westfield Rescue Squad Dispatch? I just noticed this in the Wiki, but the DB just lists this as a backup frequency)

Roselle Park dispatch is simulcast from the NJICS to 453.5625. There are still some portables, plus Engine 4 and Squad 5 on UHF. Operations are on NJICS FG4.

Cranford FD is also still on 476.900 and just being simulcasted on NJICS

Some units are still utilizing 476.900 because of the number of available radios, but it is designated a fallback. Primary dispatch and communications are being conducted on the NJICS. This is reflected in the unique RID's being utilized by Cranford FD on the system. UHF will cease operations in the near future.

It is a legitimate back-up used in town. Westfield Rescue Squad is self-dispatched by two live-in full-time dispatchers. That is why you rarely hear traffic is because most of their communications are internal by phone.

Wow! So you are saying that some of RP Fire Operations are no longer on UHF?
