O&R reporting to county on 46.16

[tilemedallion]

Just heard O&R report response details on county fire channel 1. Is this a new procedure?

It's been going on in Rockland for a few years now.

I believe for a while certain OR supervisors have had 46.16 in their trucks, haven't heard them before though

AS ff026 said a few years ago O&R Supervisors who are Ex-Chiefs where given permission to communicate with 44 Control to help relay info quickly especially during bad weather,

O&R does have permission to talk directly to Orange 911 on 46.16. They have been doing it for years, especially during bad storms giving updates.
