Tolland, MA Switchover

[kwell528]

As of 04/01, Tolland, MA Departments are switching over to Northampton Control. I believe they are the final Hampden County town to move off the Berkshire County channels.

Does anyone know if they're joining another municipalities' channel?

For what it’s worth, this feed (Tolland Fire Live Audio Feed) lists the same frequency as this feed (Granville Fire Live Audio Feed)

TL;DR Apparently they are using Granville’s channel?

Both PD and FD moved from Berkshire Regional (no longer Sheriff, but State 911) to SP Northampton on the first of the month

AS to potential freq changes, only by listening will we really know/find out

It would appear that they have switched to Granville's frequency. There was a medical today in Tolland and the only responder I heard (from Tolland) was on Granville's channel. During the medical call, there was no activity noted on CoMIRS so it appears they did not switch to there and there was no simulcast onto that system.
Northampton Control is good for simulcasting (mostly evening tests) so I am not 100% sure but it would appear that it is changed.

Crash today in Tolland with FD on Granville channel with response.

After initial response, units changed to Town Channel, 155.9850, 107.2 for traffic control. That frequency's license expired 2 years ago (as did the previous 2 licenses).
Unknown if Fireground channels match up between the two towns but I would imagine they would have changed that as well.
Also, at a crash in Granville, they switched to "Fireground 3" briefly. That is the DPW repeater channel, 151.6025, D516.
