Statewide Fire Channel

Haven’t heard it in the immediate Capital District in quite a while! Dave, CDERN is only LE not fire? could you have confused it with something else?

Confused what? I was a dispatcher in Rochester.

Confused what? I was a dispatcher in Rochester.

What I meant was how could 45.88 (state fire) have been supplanted by CDERN which is all law enforcement agencies. Not making a “dig” at all. Just trying to make a clarifying statement. That’s all!

Oh. Well, I have heard intercounty fire mutual aid requests via CDERN. I think the multiservice dispatch centers view it as an inter-PSAP channel rather than exclusively law enforcement.
