If all you have are the radios listed in your sig then you have no use for the fire tones.

To elaborate, the tones are what alerts each fire station to a call. They're listed in the database because there are scanners on the market that allow you to program in, for instance, your home station's tones. The scanner would then alert (or beep!) when your station gets a call.

But, you don't own a scanner with that capability.
