Most of the fire departments in Ocean County are dispatched on conventional UHF 508.1875 PL 71.9 and operate on the County Trunk System after dispatch, so you'll need a trunk tracking scanner to hear all of the action. The link to all conventional frequency & trunk system information for Ocean County is:

Jackson Twp. FD is dispatched and operates on their own frequencies: They are dispatched by County on 507.3375 DPL 432 and operate on 506.5875 CSQ (Fire Ops 1) and 507.0875 CSQ (Fire Ops 2). It's actually an LTR trunk system but you can monitor it conventioonally by programming the frequencies I listed and hear everything. It does not need to be programmed in the trunk mode. Just program them as you would any other conventional system. The link to the information is:
