medford mass fd - radio ops

the C2 (duty chief) tells the responding units whether he wants them
to switch to Channel 2 or not

actually not exactly sure what radio channel they use for firescene
ops - the dispatcher probably does not have access to the fireground
channel whatever it is

iirc - medford fd has 2 of their own mobile channels on UHF - unknown
if either is used for fg ops

and there are possibly 2 metrofire fg channels they can also use - the
names should be - metrofire north fg alpha and metrofire north FG
bravo

they can probably also use metrofire central fireground alpha and
metrofire central fireground bravo and metrofire south fg (?alpha or
bravo?)

medford seems to be using multi names for their channel 2 - all just
slightly different - so its hard to decipher what they are exactly
doing

in years past medford fd used metrofire central fg iirc - maybe shared
with several nearby FDs - such as malden and melrose and everett and
maybe even chelsea

this might go back to shared use of 153.83 by those FDs starting in the 1970s

we are close enough to medford to possibly catch them on their FG
channel if they ever use it on the west side of the city - we will
keep our ears open
