Fire deck 04

[mrlthse]

Greeting all,
Does anyone know in the Salt lake, Davis counties areas
what is mint when the computized (broadcast) dispatches a engine company
to a location and says "On Deck" 04,
Are they saying to go to a simplex freq as a fireground channel?

Not sure about Davis County but in Salt lake County most everything other than SLC is dispatched by VECC (Valley Emergency Communications Center) What you are hearing is got to "VECC 4" not deck. These are geographic-based response channels. On a side note, VECC 5 is for working incidents such as a fire. VECC 6 means we are having a bad day.

So what you are saying is that my Radio Shack 2096 is just not of high enough quality
to decode what the computer dispatch is saying...That's understandable
Am i correct here? By chance, do you know what there total Vecc channel plan (With tones) are?

The computer can at times have a strange 'accent' here are the VECC fire channels:

21216	52e0	A	VECC FD/EMS 1	VECC Fire/EMS 1 Dispatch	Fire Dispatch
21248	5300	A	VECC FD/EMS 2	VECC Fire/EMS 2	Fire-Tac
21280	5320	A	VECC FD/EMS 3	VECC Fire/EMS 3	Fire-Tac
21312	5340	A	VECC FD/EMS 4	VECC Fire/EMS 4	Fire-Tac
21344	5360	A	VECC FD/EMS 5	VECC Fire/EMS 5	Fire-Tac
21664	54a0	A	VECC FD/EMS 6	VECC Fire/EMS 6	Fire-Tac
21152	52a0	A	VECC RIT	VECC Rapid Intervention Team	Fire-Tac

1376	5380	A	UFA Tac 7	Unified Fire Authority Tactical 7	Fire-Tac
21408	53a0	A	UFA Tac 8	Unified Fire Authority Tactical 8	Fire-Tac
21440	53c0	A	UFA Tac 9	Unified Fire Authority Tactical 9	Fire-Tac
21856	5560	A	UFA Tac 10	Unified Fire Authority Tactical 10	Fire-Tac
21888	5580	A	UFA Tac 11	Unified Fire Authority Tactical 11 / Staging	Fire-Tac
21760	5500	A	SLCo FireTra	Fire Training Car to Car	Fire-Talk

As to the geography, it's not an s[specific standard but VECC 2 tends to be east side, and VECC 3 is on the west side. VECC 4 being south. This is not set n stone though and calls are assigned as needed and TGs are available.

This is a one good full line up list,
Was just interested if you can
Tell me about the VHF Freqs
I tend to hear them just a bit louder
and clearer here in Layton UT area.
Thank you.

Your radio is good enough quality. It is your ears that needs adjusting.
Mine are the same way. I need to hear something several times, to catch it correctly.

Just FYI, after the 2020 Earthquake, I heard an unknown City (I didn't catch who it was), using TG 21152 for EOC comms.

Shouldn't UFA Tac 7 be 21376?
