Well said!
There are a few of us on here that are both. We have a vested interest.

And I'm almost both. Technically, I am not a firefighter. I am a retired LEO. I am, however, a certified arson investigator and a certified fire instructor (and a certified law enforcement instructor). On the fire side, I taught fire science and arson investigations. On the police side, I taught Constitutional law, search warrants Georgia law and basic arson investigations. My fire instructor certification is national. The law enforcement certification is Georgia.
Volunteer fire, paid EMS here.
Yes, you all should be able to provide expert/experienced commentary that I would default to when it comes to utilizing a CCR in a firefighting environment.
Would any of you approve of your agency issuing you a CCR for duty use?

That is why I like the trunking system we use we have control of what goes on it and the training of the members to one type radio. The plus is CCR are not made in trunking radios.

Case in point-- I have and use an antediluvian EF Johnson UHF transceiver (PPL 6060.) Its OLD- but it works fine, it looks brand new...
Call me old fashioned the ONLY one needing radios are the officers and the engineer/driver. Anyone going in a building has just one job[or 2] Put the fire out and or look for victims!! Comms are the last thing they need. IF they are to back out' the officer with them and the air horns on the rigs sounding off will be enough. Fifty radios all chiming in can be a hazard. Have a large mutual aid fire try listening to the chief the crews and other towns coming in setting up or needing directions or orders is bad enough, EVERY firefighter chiming in and jamming the frequencies is lousy.
