Pike County Fire alerting changes

[mark40]

In Pike County, two Fire Departments, Bushkill Station 24 and Forest Station 81 are now being alerted/paged on EMS 1 155.265. This is the start of a longer term plan to have all fire and EMS alerting on 155.265.

Not sure of the timing to move the rest over, other than it's not imminent. Will post follow up info as it becomes available.

For those unaware, nearly all EMS agencies have been responding on 151.2575 for quite some time now. This is a smart move by the county to eventually make 155.265 the dedicated Fire/EMS paging channel, with response on the 154.445 and 151.2575 repeaters. No more tones stepping on responding units, a long time coming.
