Yes this is true, however the switchover did not occur at 1000am from what I was hearing. Not sure where YFD will be toned out on but it will be either 154.250, 151.385 and or 151.430. I suspect that they will then remain on their 800mhz radios. YFD does not own any VHF radios at all to my knowledge. I have not heard YFD go out in the last few hours since the switch over so I have no idea what they have decided to do.

Ypsi Fire & HVA

AnnArbor.com has a story detailing the move from Ypsilanti City dispatch services to HVA and the county.

If anyone does not know yet.....Ypsilanti City Fire is now being toned out on 151.430. This is the same frequency as Ypsilanti Township Fire. YFD tone-outs are simulcasted over their 800mhz talkgroup. They then perform all normal comms on the Ann Arbor TRS.

Rumor(actually confirmed this the other day) is that Saline will be turned over to HVA Central Dispatch. Pittsfield only said that they will if it makes sense. Hopefully they keep their senses and do not switch. Chelsea, I am not sure about either. Hopefully if they decide to allow someone else to dispatch for them it will be Jackson Central.
