Stamford Fire

[FrankM]

I am going to be visiting the Stamford area again soon and I was wondering if the Stamford Fire is still encrypting their transmissions. Last year when i was there I could not hear anything by the fire department. Thanks !

You can still hear their dispatch on 154.13
All other communications is encrypted.

Am not sure if Stamford fire is even encrypted,but there is a simulcast of their dispatch to listen to if they are encrypted.

This is the link to the Fairfield County database:

Fairfield County, Connecticut (CT) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

All the PD, FD & EMS talkgroups are encrypted. You can hear the Fire/EMS dispatch talkgroup on the VHF simulcast.

Wasn't there talk a couple years back that they wanted to put some of the channels in the clear?? Are they still considering that idea or is it pretty much off the table for now?

I remember they were talking about having the FD and EMS in the clear but I don't know anything more.
