Sebastian County Fireground Frequencies

[greenwoodboy]

Hello All, Does anybody know what frequencies are used for fireground in Sebastian County? After fire crews are dispatched, the depart AWIN and move to fireground. Thanks.

 

[03msc]

Looks like they're listed in the db in AWIN under Sebastian County Public Safety - one is labeled Fireground, another is Operations. Two separate talkgroups in addition to the dispatch one. The service type is Fire Tac so you'd have to have it enabled, too.

 

[03msc]

Adding...several of the rural departments appear to have their own TGs, all service typed as Fire Tac.

My guess is they respond to dispatch that they're en route on Fireground and then switch to their own TG for ops during the call. But that's just a guess/assumption.

 

[greenwoodboy]

Well, I have all of those TGs in my AWIN system and all the service types are enabled. For years I've just assumed they move off AWIN to local analog frequencies, but I've yet to determine what those are. Much of the time they should be within range of my equipment.
Thanks for your help.

 

[03msc]

Analog is certainly possible. I wouldn’t think they’d have those TGs if they weren’t using them but who knows. Good luck in your search. Do you ever switch to close call mode during a call out to see if you get any hits? Just an idea.

 

[greenwoodboy]

I've started all over by importing a new AWIN system out of Sentinel. Like you said, they've got these expensive AWIN radios and talk groups, so it's logical to assume they would want to use their own talk groups.

 

[greenwoodboy]

Oh yeah, I keep close call do not disturb on always. Love it.

Thanks. The next time there's a fire call I'll monitor those closely.
