I have been hearing very little traffic on 154.430. Almost no comms on Commerce & Walled Lake old VHF. Novi has been just dispatch, no simulcast of other comms.

Does anyone know anything about the Oakland County International Airport fire? Do they have their own department like Detroit Metro? I just saw they have two TGs that got listed on RR this week and I cannot find any information about them.

You can read about it here. I believe they usually have an open house in the spring.

OCIA ARFF is handled by cross trained maintenance personnel. There is an Open House and Air Show August 11th 2024. The 2 crash trucks will be on display, along with a demo.

Now that most of Oakland County is live, has anyone heard anything on if or when the tones will start getting used for them on MPSCS? It is so weird listening to them without hearing a tone.

The only bits of anything tone-ish, that I hear on MPSCS is with Commerce Twp.

Farmington Hills tones out everything on their paging group 32881, Southfield doesn't use a separate page group but tones out on Fire 1 (32274). Orion Township seems to use one tone set for all stations. Novi tones out but I havent studied them yet.
