Glenford's station (Station 220) is located in Perry County.
Numbering conventions
These conventions are becoming less widely used. They are currently used by Madison Twp., Heath, National Trails, Hebron (except for medics), Hartford, Utica, and Mary Ann Twp. Heath's and Hebron's apparatus are simply referred to by their name and unit number without a station number. (Example: "Heath Rescue 6")

<tone> - KQH904 to <callsign> <department name> <squad/fire>, <address> on <nature>, 904 clear at

All departments are currently dispatched by the Licking County 911 center (the county's primary PSAP) in Newark for runs in Licking County. The Heath Police Department (the county's secondary PSAP) dispatched the Heath Fire Department until the installation of new radio equipment in 2008.
Codes
Fire/EMS departments in Licking County have moved almost entirely to plain language, although some remnants of BSSA codes remain. Also, the Newark Fire Department occasionally still uses "10-22," their former code for the police department, and "10-33," which indicates an emergency response (with lights and sirens), primarily when transporting to the hospital.
When 99 (emergency) traffic is declared on 155.415, other dispatches and operations move to 155.535
Heath PD also uses 858.2125 (the public works channel) as a secondary channel. This channel is not digital.
Codes and Signals
All departments in Licking County use Buckeye State Sheriffs Association codes and signals to some degree. In addition, some use "Priority 1" for emergency response (lights and sirens) and "Priority 2" for regular response.
Ohio MARCS
Three Ohio MARCS sites are located in Licking County. They are St. Louisville (117), Linnville (119), and Granville (142).

Notes
Heath public works (Street Department, Water Department, and Wastewater Department) were formerly on the (now defunct) Heath trunking system. They retain 858.2125 for communications with police and fire authorities, although this channel is rarely used except for snow removal. It is unknown what channel Heath public works now use.
