Allegan County Fire Departments

All fire/rescue departments that are listed below are now dispatched on the MPSCS. The 154.325 and 155.550 repeaters are still operational. The countywide siren system is reportedly still activated over VHF. One set of tone activates the Eastern sirens and the other half is the Western half.

A few fire departments conduct some tactical and administrative communications on their individually licensed frequencies in addition to their tactical talk groups. Departments which provide mutual aid to surrounding counties may also continue to have mobile or hand held VHF equipment.
