Bucks County Fire Radio

[joeyperillo]

Earlier today (Monday 10/18/21) I heard most but not all of a general message from the Bucks County Fireboard Dispatcher advising of the upcoming fire radio "transition." I missed WHEN it is occurring but the dispatcher said they will have tutorials.......oy gevalt! Anybody have any idea or inside dope on what the heck is/will be happening to Bucks County Fire Radio?
oy......

Unfortunately Joey I don't really listen to the fireboard anymore unless I hear the whistle go off locally. Let me reach out and find out what's going on. The radio's they're using are kind of long in the tooth, could be they're just getting new radios but let me reach out now and see what I can find out.

Thanks very much, Bob. Fire and EMS is pretty much all I listen to anymore.....

Okay Joey inquiries have been made, I'll let you know what I hear. Hopefully it's just getting new radios and the tutorials will be on how to use them.

Also listen to the firepolice talk groups North and South. They have capabilities to hear police encryption just like the fire department.

Thanks - I actually do listen to the FP but not all the time - reckon I will harken to your advice - as always!

Yeah I meant to say fire police. Well Joey rest assured they are not going encrypted, they are finally changing the cad system to be brought into our century and it will be officers only for now, apparently 22 officers have already started their training.

Everything remains the same regarding encryption, no plan for fire to go encrypted anytime soon. In addition to listening to fire police talk groups also listen to tac 1 through 5. Special events and traffic details. Often you will find the police conducting speed traps.

Anyway, this is very reliable information, let's hope hope the rumor mill doesn't take over anyway hahaha.

Announcement being made right now

Thanks very much, Bob. (wiping sweat from brow). Yeah, I always have the tac channels on......SAY! I just now heard the general broadcast again and she clearly said they are transitioning the CAD system! Thanks, Bob!
