I can confirm that I hear SIC Fire dispatch using PL 118.8...yes the fire the other day was messy as always...I thought I heard Dennis (Ocean View) on SIC fireground; but they were certainly using their frequencies...OC was using both their P25 and SIC..I didn't catch if Starthmere actually used SIC fire ground on this incident, but I've been told all of Upper (Strathmere, Marmora, Seaville and Tuckahoe) added 153.815....
OC apparently only manned SIC for one week end, but are on their first alarms assignment for any structure...it looks like SIC is attempting to man their station with volunteers when they can..they have been responding on air quickly the last few times I heard them dispatched...they've had their share of working fires so far this spring/summer
Wildbillx...we'll have to watch the progress...Cape May County is really segmented with all of the municipal dispatch in place and the local frequencies...it certainly would be cleaner if everyone dispatched on 154.13, regardless of dispatch center...moved to their own fire ground frequencies for local events and used county mutual aid frequencies for major events..you almost need 3 scanners to follow a major incident..154.13 gets busy without PL....Gloucester simulcasts on it as well
