Default Saxtons River VT FD - ????

I can hear the Rockingham VT FD being dispatched by SWNH on 154.43 but I have not heard any calls paged for Bellows Falls FD nor Saxtons River FD. Is it possible that both Saxtons River FD and Bellows Falls FD are dispatched by Bellows Falls PD or Bellows Falls FD on 154.235?

I just heard Saxton Rivers Rescue and Gold Cross Ambulance get paged out to a EMS call. On 154.43 by Keen (SWNH). For 2 or 3 days previously I had not heard any calls for Saxtons River. ?????? (I suppose if they have less than 1 call per day they might be hard to catch).

There are 585 people in .5 square miles according to the census. I think it would be safe to say that they have very few runs. I thought they used to do weekly testing to the various FDs, that would be the time to check. They are listed on the SWNHDFMA website.

Rockingham, Bellows Falls & Saxtons River are all in the Town of Rockingham. Rockingham FD & Saxtons River FD are dispatched by Southwest Mutual Aid (Keene,NH) on 154.430. Bellows Falls FD is dispatched on 154.235 by Bellows Falls PD however Keene can page them on 154.430 which will set off an alert at BFPD dispatch & they will then page BFFD.

Southwest Mutual Aid used to conduct a system wide radio test at 10:00 A.M. every Sunday. That was discontinued several years ago.
