Nopeim assuming that eventually FD will go Encrypted?
You can add talkgroup 204 as command channel I don’t know how to add. But at a fire now and they went to it.
Yes the FD handles the EMS calls along with Hunter's and the Middlesex Medic, if needed.I hear a lot of fire disp calls going to something an EMS would.
It depends on how the fire department is licensed with the state and how they operate.I hear a lot of fire disp calls going to something an EMS would.
See post #10Not sure exactly how they operate.

The fire at Washington st command was talking on the 204 and was calling it command channel. there are many more Talkgroups not really being used at this time. We were using fd echo for pt info earlier Not so much now.For what its worth, during the big Dainty Rubbish fire earlier this year (Jan or Feb??) that channel was referred to by dispatch as "Fire Incident 5" and was used to dispatch mutual aid cover companies to other calls in the city.
Also, talkgroup 212 is the full time encrypted Fire TG mentioned earlier. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic to relay patient info, before screening protocols were put in place.
