So how are the volenteer FFs being notified of a fire call?

Unication G5 pagers.

Hey just wanted to let you guys know I just heard talk group 5020 in the clear

 

[elias1988]

What was heard on 5020? I’m curious to know if they will move public works and other non public safety services to the system.

The'll probably encrypt the DPW too. LoL. I just listened to the recordings I have for 5020. It sounds like a patch for ALS. I heard District 1 talking to 7225 and 7226 sending them to calls. IDK who 7225 and 7226 is but it sounded like EMS based runs.

 

[elias1988]

Those are RWJ medic units. Must be a TG for them like county has.

I could not tell the radio sounded really bad

They are paramedics I used to listen to Toms River EMS

I’m still seeing action on the old police channel, maybe the police aren’t all on the new system yet…

I know the FD and EMS was patched to their old channel for a few weeks. The EMS may still be patched.

I believe that is interop 4, I just can't confirm it yet so I haven't sent it in. Saturday 4400 was calling District 1 on it to tell them about an MVA. I read a memo that one of the inter op channels will be used for out of town FDs to talk to district 1 and if there is a fire they will patch it to a TRFD super secret encrypted FG TG.

"Super secret" 🤣🤣 what in the world is wrong with these municipalities?

 

[ShoreBullets]

I can confirm that RWJ medics do not have updated radios, they still use the old EMS1 channel for now

Super secret squirrely stuff. But on the other hand, we want the public to report tips to us.

They go dark on us, we go dark on them.... Fair.

If you can vote in the fire district election on Saturday February 15th send them the message. They have 80 grand slated to buy the civilian supervising dispatcher an SUV. Last I checked and in the city FD I worked in the civilian supervising dispatcher didn't respond to emergencies.

Just heard an agency providing mutual aid to Toms River FD complain to their dispatch that they could not reach Toms River via radio. So much for interoperability. Great job Toms River secret squirrels for encrypting fire transmissions.

Wait, theyre having an election on a weekend? What kind of stuff is that?

Fire District elections happen on the 3rd Saturday in February by law unless they move them to the November general election.

IMHO keeping the elections in February is generally done as a means to keep voter turnout low (often ends up being just firefighters and their families because there’s little to no advertisement of the election) so the commissioners friendliest to the firefighters get elected.
