Chittenden County Fire Plan

[Asmitty0010]

Can anybody give me a solid, confirmed, fire plan for the county as far as what channels are control channels for paging and dispatching etc.

I have confirmed Burlington and South Burlington Fire.

Agencies i'm looking for are Essex, Essex Jct, Williston, Colchester, and Winooski

Both Radioreference and ScanNewEngland have conflicting information about what channels are paging channels and what are fire ground/tac. Really nothing solid anywhere.

If anybody who monitors these agencies could provide me with something that would be great!
thanks
Alex

Williston FD/EMS are dispatched by Shelburne Dispatch, 151.3175R, D065.

Essex/Junction FDs are initially dispatched by Essex PD dispatch on 154.355R, 162.2.

I am not intimately familiar with how it is now, but Essex and Williston shared channels the last time I worked with them. See the bottom of this message.

As far as I know, these days most Essex ops will be heard on154.220R, 162.2, and most of Williston's on 154.175, D245.

Essex Rescue operates primarily on 155.205R, 162.2

I do not know about today, but as of a few years ago, the Essex/Williston FD channel lineup was:

F1 dispatch (see above)
F2 154.220R, 162.2 (Tactical)
F3 154.130S, 127.3 (Fireground)
F4 154.280S, 141.3 (Fireground)
F5 154.175R, D245 (Operations)
F6 154.235S, 167.9 (Fireground)
F7 154.385S, 162.2 (now-obsolete CCMA channel)
F8-F11 VTACs (no VCALL)

Colchester I am not 100% which channel is for what, but they share a lot with St. Mike's, who seem to be constantly adding and subtracting simplex channels and tones. I have heard them toned out on 453.200R, D243, and operations on 453.325R, D243.

The only note I have for Winooski is 453.4375R, D074.

Hope this helps you some.

awesome. Thanks for the info! Really appreciate it! Road tripping this weekend and it'll be nice to put a few of these in the apx7500 for monitoring. Cheers
