Hoopla on Newark EMS Channel 6
Its the annual Portugese festival in the Portugese section of the city. Pretty much defined as east of downtown, east of the RR tracks. I have friends that live there that schedule themselves a vacation or to be out of town the weekend of the festival

That channel was hopping Sat/Sun nights. University Hospital EMS were collecting patient after patient. Sounded like it was one big drunk fest. Also, I just read that someone was killed by a hit-and-run driver at the fest.

Newark PD frequency used for the fest??
I was doing a little monitoring Friday evening before all the craziness actually started while they were still setting up for the fest. I heard more than usual activity on 460.125, but transmissions were too abrubt to make any sense of what it was being used for. I would assume that 460.150 became active once the fest started since that's the frequency I believe NORMALLY covers the Ironbound area of Newark. Does anyone know if that was the case or were the Newark PD at the fest using something different? Just curious since I was away for most of the weekend.

UH-EMS Tactical Service Unit (TSU) was the comm coordinator and all EMS was on 155.100 (REMCS Ch. 6). They had EMS bike teams and (2) gators (John Deere tractor-type units they use at stadiums) floating around and a Treatment area in place. They were going crazy all night - - felt bad for them.

Squad, do you know if the PD were coordinating on 460.150 or elsewhere?

I don't know...I only listen to the REMCS channels, sorry.
Remcs TSU command was transmitting in simplex mode on 6, Newark Police was using there citywide and east dist channels for the fest.
It was an interesting Saturday night for those who monitored.
