Berrien County Fire/Ems

[joshua80]

does anyone know which fire agences are using F911 for dispatch and which ones are still being dispatched on vhf? Have heard some dispatch on vhf then switch to F911 when on scene. Also is medic 1 full time 800mhz? I hear them broadcasting on both frequencies (TG 3523 and 154.7400). and when is Smcas going to 800mhz?

I don't know of any fire or ems agency in Berrien County using 800 mhz exclusively for dispatch. Some use it to dispatch out of specific necessity at the time. Others times BCSD dispatch will relay an urgent call to Medic 1, for example on their TG rather than by TX.

Perhaps others have observed differently.

I hear Niles City Fire, Niles Township Fire on 151-370 for both dispatch and talking back and forth with each other!

I hear Bertrand Township both being dispatch, talking back and forth with their own units, & talking to Niles Township on 151-370

I Hear Buchanan City being dispatch dispatch on 151-370 but I do not hear them talking on this Freq.

I haven't noticed any consistent pattern with usage. I think it's just a catch-as-catch-can thing like jimsokol mentioned
