Communications
HRFE is dispatched from the HRM Integrated Emergency Services dispatch centre. A Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system allows the dispatchers to quickly determine the correct stations and apparatus to page out for a call. The initial page out is done on VHF using Motorola two-tone sequential paging on the following frequencies:

Talkgroups are divided up between core and rural areas. Each area has a dispatch talkgroup and six operations talkgroups numbered 2-7. For example, Dispatch-C would be the core dispatch talkgroup, and Ops 4-R would be the rural operations talkgroup #4.
