In 2014 the Country Fire Authority commenced overhauling its state wide repeater network and replacing it with a state of the art digital trunked radio network, with each individual district having its own isolated network all connected back to VicFire Ballarat (Fire Dispatch). Due to this upgrade existing analoge VHF scanners will no longer be able to listen to dispatch communications, only fireground communications which will continue to operate in analogue simplex mode.
