MetroFire fireground channels - this info is from the MetroFire box cards and SOP that is online (maybe circa 2015 or 2019) - some of these are listed town by town in the RRDB - some are not
fireground (FG) channel - communities that are assigned
Central - Chelsea + Everett + Revere + Winthrop
North - Malden + Massport Hanscom + Medford + Melrose + Saugus
South - Randolph (which also uses Norfolk County FG channels)
Metro Red (483.3125R) - task forces for Box 8211 at Logan Airport
Can anyone confirm hearing any of these channels in use? I dont typically listen to these communities but it seems that fireground traffic is rarely heard on their main channels. Which leads to the conclusion that these Metro FG channels are in fact used daily. I suspect they switch over to the FG channels anytime that fire or smoke showing is reported. Or maybe they switch over on all box alarms.
Possibly just portable radios are used on these channels. Or maybe just portable radios and mobile radios.
