the county 911 center is the only PSAP in sullivan county - therefore
99% of the action is heard on their radio channels
radio reference basically shows 3 fire/ems channels plus 2 police
channels plus 4 local police channels plus 1 county dpw channel
if you look thru the fcc licenses - you will find approx 1 dozen more
local channels - many seem to be dpw channels
we suspect that since the FDs only have 1 repeater channel - that if a
major wildfire breaks out - there might be alot of fire radio traffic
on the local dpw channels
we ned to check further - first we need a list of all the dpw garages
- then we need to find radio channels for each - might take a while
there are approx 40 fire departments - all but 3 or 4 have just 1
station - there might be just 6 fulltime firemen in the entire county
there are approx 15 ambulance services - some have gone private - but
there are still several volunteer ambulance services
hatzolah might have 15 ambulances in the county also - scattered
around at various sites maybe - maybe all on 160.20 and 160.28 - they
are all volunteers also - not sure how much they interact with the
local 911 agencies - the county 911 center had 2000 spansih calls in
2024 but zero hebrew calls (see the language line info in the 2024
county annual report)

fire and ems radio channels in maine

"There are 304 fire departments in Maine as of 2026. These departments
operate out of approximately 560 fire stations across the state"
There are approximately 269 to 283 licensed EMS agencies in Maine as
of 2025–2026. Of these, 166 are ground transporting agencies that
operate ambulances, while roughly 100 are non-transporting agencies
that provide initial medical response but do not transport patients to
the hospital.
Maine.gov +2
(maybe 70 of those ambulances are operated by FDs)
overall - maybe there are a total of 800 fire and/or ambulance stations in Maine
approx 166 police stations in maine
so - for apparox 1000 emergency response stations - only approx 40 are
not on vhf highband
ANYBODY SEE A PROBLEM HERE?????
