NJESA Meadowlands Fire Department going to BC TRS

[RadioChief55]

Talking to a reliable source the Meadowlands FD that protects MetLife Stadium, the Race Track and American Dream will be switching to and I'm told dispatched by Bergen County Communications on the BC TRS. This is the second person who told me this. I'm told it will take place in the next two week. I don't know if they will be using a new TG just for them, or going to a already used TG?

Are they full time firefighters/inspectors or like an industrial brigade in that facility employees are also firefighters?

 

[RadioChief55]

Full time engine and truck with 4 on each rig. During events they have a lot more guys on duty.

What agency is dispatching them now, and what frequency(ies) are they currently using? NJICS has a site at the Meadowlands, but since the Bergen County Public Safety Dispatch Center will be dispatching, I guess that's why they chose the BCPSTRS.

 

[RadioChief55]

They are on the NJSEA 800 Moto system now and dispatched by Meadowlands operations. IDK if BC and Meadowlands operations will have dispatching capability. The way it sounded is the county will be doing it, but IDK exactly. This partly stems from the fire in the Big Snow building last year where MFD couldn't talk to the mutual aid departments. The Big Ski is still closed because of the fire.

Testing earlier today on PS IOP 3

They're switching to the NJICS, not the Bergen County system, but will be dispatched by the county. Possibly cutting over on Monday the 9th.

I see a couple of affiliations on my Unitrunker. ID's are in the 259xxxx range.

 

[ScanXO]

pick them up at roll call/test 9:00 am sometimes off Passaic Co site

 

[RadioChief55]

I have just the Meadowlands site in my radio and I get them great. I am one town away from them.

 

[CqDx]

They are on 5235, seems like they do daily morning roll calls

 

[GTR8000]

The talkgroups were added to the database two weeks ago.

 

[CqDx]

You are right, thank you.

Heads up on some new Bergen County FD TG's coming, they may be operating on both systems.
