Important Considerations for all Departments

  • All VHF paging and station alerting will work during the entire maintenance procedure
  • Paging tones on your main dispatch talkgroup will not work for all agencies except 9COM
  • BRICS personnel will automatically respond to any reports of a structure fire in Butler County to assist with on-scene communications

Changes to the Plan Since the June 25th Informational Meeting

  • All 9COM fire departments will utilize 09 MA 10 during the two-minute system outage except the following agencies which will be assigned to 8 TAC 94:
    • College Corner Fire Department
    • Milford Township Fire Department
    • Oxford Fire Department
    • Reily Township Fire Department
  • 7 TAC firegrounds will only be used if absolutely necessary if the total system outage extends beyond the anticipated two minute time period
  • 09 FIRE 12-16 will be restricted to the Butler County simulcast and used for fireground operations during site trunking.  All other talkgroups usually used for firegrounds will be restricted.
