Allegheny County Dispatch By Zone

Allegheny County Fire And EMS Tones

Mon Valley Fire

I have now confirmed Dravosburg (Station 131), and Forward Twp Fire departments being dispatched on 471.3125.

Forward Twp departments are using 471.0875 as their operations channel. Allegheny County Dispatch is on that frequency with them.

I am not sure what frequency Elizabeth Boro or Dravosburg are using for operations. I have not heard their units responding on 471.3125 except for Elizabeth Boro (Station 139), did call out on 471.3125.

Allegheny County - East New Fire Frequency

471.3125 PL 110.9 has gone live today.

Allegheny County has started disptach and operations of fire departments in the Mon Valley area on this frequency. Toady I have confirmed Elizabeth Boro, and Elizabeth Twp fire departments have switched over. Other departments are expected to switch over when they get the equipment. Eventually phasing out 33.800.

Allegheny County East - New Fire Frequency

Look for the new fire frequency for the MonValley area to become active within the next week or so.

471.3125 PL 110.9 - This is a repeater.

The Elizabeth Township fire departments have been very active on this freq for some time. They have been running calls on this, with Allegheny County communications answering them. Dispatch and operations will officially begin soon on this channel. There has been a lot of testing by County of pagers and sirens on the freq.

I understand that all departments have purchased new radios, so not all departments will make the switch. There may still be activity on 33.860 and 33.800 from departments in that area.

Allegheny County East

I was also sent some more detailed information on the East zone frequencies. They rarely refer to the channel numbers on the air, so I'm unable to cinfirm this. I do believe this came from a reliable source, so here is the information on the east zone.

Allegheny Couty Northwest - Fire, North Boros

I was sent this list of freqs for the North Boros departments a while ago. I have not been able to confirm these, and due to their nature may not be able to. They are simplex, and they are also fire operations channels. So they get used rarely, and they are simplex. A tough combination to confirm from the South Hills. So here they are.

Emsworth - 151.325 CSQ - Fire RIT - Simplex
Emsworth - 155.550 PL 123.0 - Fire Police. Ch. 14
Kilbuck - 151.625 PL 114.8 - Fire Ch. 6

Made a trip to Somerset and here are some new freqs found on the trip.

Ohiopyle State Park - 151.160 PL 127.3
Johnstown Airport - 118.325 AM - ATIS

Columbia Gas - 451.1625 P25 Digital - Heard in Westmoreland County

I got a Signal Stalker hit on 453.675 at the Somerset interchange. FCC records show a license for the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania in Somerset. Not sure of the use.

Allegheny County Dispatch - South

Animal Control for all south areas is now only on 460.425 PL 131.8. This is South, Southwest Police 3.

Mt. Lebanon was using 472.175 to dispatch animal control for their town. This is being dispatched by County on 460.425 now.

Allegheny County Dispatch - North Zone Fire

Some changes I noticed on the Allegheny County North Zone Fire system

Cheswick - Station 121 - Now on North - 471.5625 - PL 103.5 - Responds on North Channels
Harrison - Fire, EMS, And Fire Police - Now on North Tarentum Fire - 460.1625 - DPL 025
Citzens - Fire Station 167, EMS Station 110 - Now on North Tarentum Fire - 460.1625 - DPL 025
Hill Top - Station 168 - Now on North Tarentum Fire - 460.1625 - DPL 025
Harrison Fire Police - Station 520 - On North Tarentum Fire - 460.1625 - DPL 025

The use of Station 520 is new to me. The 520 units came on after Harrison Fire Police dispatched to assist with traffic control for the accident on Rt 28 tonight.

I'm sure there are more changes on this system. I'll keep an ear out on it. I suspect that all departments have completed the move from 33.860 to 460.1625 or 471.5625.

Allegheny County North Zone Correction

Michael, N3JNL pointed out a typo I had made. In the Allegheny County North Zone, Police Ch. 1, 471.5875. O'Hara police is listed as #3300 and #3400.

O'Hara Township Police is #3300
Reserve Township Police is #3400

This will be corrected on the next update. The frequency listing has it correct.

Thanks N3JNL
