Fairview FD Dispatch

[mikerabbit 2]

How does Fairview FD recieve their 911 fire calls and automated alarm calls? Whenever I hear them toned out and dispatched by their HQ they call on scene within 30 seconds. Do the dispatch themselves in house prior to putting the call over 46.26?

Im not sure how they receive their 911 calls, but Fairview is paged out twice. The first time, the tones and location are transmitted over the 33.96 frequency. About 30 seconds to a minute later, the tones and information are transmitted again, this time on the 46.26 frequency. So by the time you hear it on 46.26, they have already been on the move.

FYI... Millwood along with several other 33.96 departments are simulcast via 46.26 when the dispatch comes from the county.
