The Joint CAD Incident Tracking system is a partnership between Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency and Clackamas County Communications in the State of Oregon, providing up-to-date information regarding fire and medical-related incidents in both counties.

A link to the Washington County Fire & EMS feed from the RadioRefernce.com Live Audio Feeds is located on the front page, allowing anyone with an internet connection to both hear and see calls as they are dispatched.

Other Units Not Listed

Throughout both counties, there are several units that have not been included in this list. For example, in Washington County, a fire investigator can have a three or four digit unit ID (TVF&R: 2514, Hillsboro: 115, Forest Grove: 4911), but they are not included here. While every attempt is made to identify common unit IDs, this is not a complete database or reference. The best way to know what unit is responding is by keeping an ear on your scanner.
