Fire officials report about 30 structures have been destroyed east of Lake Elizabeth, near Castaic. Evacuations north of Lake Elizabeth road and east of Munz Ranch Road are being effected now. Fire officials have prohibited LASD from going onto Munz Ranch Road. As usual, there are people...

I've been monitoring the nationwide 380MHz P25 military trunked system 14C site at Key West, Florida for some time. Recently they have begun using talkgroup 28995 for daily radio checks and actual dispatches of fire calls. This is labeled "Navy southeast region dispatch". The Key West units...

Im new to this, I just got a new Baofeng UV5R 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band radio. I go to college in Philly and I wanted to know if anyone recommended any good Fire, EMS and flight medical frequencies in the range for my radio in the area. Any ideas and help would be great. Thank you

I've listened to Mobile Fire Rescue Department for years on the Motorola trunked system. I've been inactive for a while and now getting back into it. For some reason I cannot hear MFRD but I can hear Mobile Police Department. I compared my programmed freq's with the Radio Reference Database...

Need some general guidelines on programming Philly fire into a pro-106. How much of the new system can even be monitored on it? Isnt most of it encrypted now?

Simply noticed this afternoon that Cullman County Fire Dispatch@158.745 had been testing out their new P25 radio system. Unsure if all the volunteer departments have new equipment yet or not, dispatch was toning out different departments last week for "meetings" to get new radios out. Didn't...

So, I have heard many different things about the JFRD P-25 system. I have heard that yes, Main dispatch is in the clear because they have been experiencing issues with it. Does anyone know or actually monitor Jacksonville(FL) Fire to tell me if I can listen to the JFRD P-25 system or is it just...

We live on an island that's 9 miles long but the topography prevents line-of-site to/from all neighborhoods. Our FD Mobiles can usually punch through to Dispatch but portables can't make it, so we're exploring the addition of repeaters. My calculations say that we'll need two, one at the north...

I know I've seen them but all I can find is one for 3 and 4 on scan master.com Does anyone have an idea where I can desk mount for 2 mobile scanners?

It's great to hear a feed for Las Cruces/Dona Ana County. The wiki page has been updated with information regarding Fire/EMS operations: Dona Ana County (NM) - The RadioReference Wiki

I am not hearing either the low band or UHF Guilford County Fire simulcasts. Does anyone know what happened? Thanks, Gregg, N2UUp

Today i heard a fire call go out in Greenwich Township. The dispatcher dispatched it as a "Box Alarm" almost exactly like Hunterdon does. Requesting a specific piece of equipment from each station on the initial dispatch. I have never heard this before from Warren County. The dispatcher seemed...

I just got a Uniden BCD396XT digital scanner and have no idea how digital trunked systems work. I'm trying to program STL city P25 public safety (Fire, Police, EMS) and don't know what a talkgroup vs a site vs system frequencies are. Could someone please help? Thanks!!!

I don't have premium so I don't know if its there but I'm looking for audio from the working fire in Lanham on Princess Garden Parkway around noon.

What are the current systems SD Metro Fed Fire and Miramar Fire are using? The RR listings are a bit confusing.

I heard from a friend today CFD was talking to Canton TWP Fire about picking up their new radios down at the admin office, idk if this means they are switching systems or going encrypted or just bought newer radios, but im almost 96% sure they will be switching to encrypted since CPD is already...

Yesterday's fire at Morris dam up in Azusa Canyon. Last I heard it was 8 acres and 60% contained. Air attack knocked it down pretty fast. Word from the cyclist who called in the fire was he saw a car go over the edge and crash below, which then caught fire. Units that responded. BC-21 BC-22...

I have a TK880 that I am going to use for alerting via QCII at my station. The main reason behind it is I am tired of the Minitor and PR400 we have going from silent to rapid loud beeps and me wetting myself every time. Joking of course, however those of us at the station would rather enjoy an...
