City Of White Plains FD using Trunk 19

[TR54 239]

Monitored WPFD Rescue 88 on trunk FIRE 19 transmitting to 60 Control for elevator call.

Just wondering if this is a trial for using FIRE 19 full time? Any info ?

My department has been operating on Fire 19 since late 2007. I have been hearing White Plains communicate with 60 Control on it much more in recent months. Battalion 19 is an odd mix of departments: Purchase, West Harrison, North White Plains, White Plains, Scarsdale, and County Airport.

Purchase was the first department to utilize Fire 19 full time.

North WP started full time the beginning of the year.

Around the start of January I began to hear WPFD units weekly on the channel.

Scarsdale talks to the county on mutual aid calls sometimes.

The airport will communicate with 60 Control on A 60-CONTROL mostly, and incidents get switched to OPS 5. I have never heard them on Fire 19.

It was nice having our own frequency for a while, but it is nice to see the other departments finally using it.
