Thornapple fire uses the old VHF which I have not been able to get yet. I have not heard anyone on fireground.
Hastings City now uses the MPSCS system for their fire.

Barry County Fire is 154.235 (symplex) PL 114.8 Dont know what Nashvilles Bambulance operates on, Hastings goes to some fire ground channel when they arrive on scene ( like BC is so busy and needs the channel open . All police are on MPSCS, Some FD's have a couple of MPSCS portables for interoperation, but thats it. Hope this helps. SIGNAL 6
Nashville PD which is dispacthed by Barry Central is on the MPSCS system so yes you will need a digitial APCO 25 scanner.
There units numbers are 501(Cheif), 511(sgt) and 520 to 529.
Let me know if you have any questions.
