Effective Feb. 10, 2014 Polk County Fire Rescue and the municipal Fire Departments that are Dispatched by Polk County fire Department have transitioned to a Digital Station Alerting. .
The Fire Fighters are caring Alpha / Numeric pagers instead of the old vol. voice pagers.
A-1 Dispatch has been permanently changed to paging dispatch ( NO two way traffic )
A-2 EMS/ CC has been permanently changed to two way Dispatching, the way A-1 has been used over the last few years.
In the coming days the old voice paging on 153.995 will go silent forever.
