Mutral Aid

[firebuffchris]

After looking in the database...I came up short with the frequency I was looking for. I was trying to find the mutral aid talk group. I am not up too speed with it...and wanted to find the frequency. What Im looking for is when the dispatchers from different counties talk to each other on. For example, "Balto. Co. too Hardford Co." or "Howard too Balto. Co." Im sorry for the lack of information but if anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it.

The Baltimore Fire Mutual Aide Radio System (FMARS) freq is listed near the bottom of linked page below. It is under Fire Ems. No talkgroup just one freq. There is a talkgroup on the AA County TRS that repeats this freq and that data can be found under that County's data in the Database on this Website.

When I was in Washington County, 154.28 was used for almost all mutual aid I know of.

When I get to my new job at the Pentagon, I will start monitoring the area again, and hope to help with more!

In addition, the frequency 154.295 is used in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC for the same purpose. And the frequency 154.265 is sometimes used by the Virginia suburbs or Washington DC. But in the Baltimore metro, 154.280 is the primary frequency for mutual aid coordination between fire dispatch centers.

Members of the Baltimore Regional Fire Mutual Aid Radio System:
Anne Arundel County
Baltimore City
Baltimore County
BWI Airport
Carroll County
Harford County
Howard County
US Coast Guard Activities Baltimore

These stations participate in a daily test of the system, however, nearly every county in MD with the exception of the Eastern Shore use this frequency, as well as York, Adams, and Franklin Counties in PA.
