Public Safety Radio Information

Some Fire, EMS, and Rescue Units are dispatched by the Pickens County 911 answering point located at the Law Enforcement Center. Clemson and Easley dispatch their own fire and police departments.

EMS - 155.1750 Mhz
     Medic 1 (Pickens)
     Medic 2 (Easley West side station)
     Medic 3 (Liberty Station)
     Medic 4 (Central Station)
     Medic 5 (Dacusville Station)
     Medic 6 (Holly Springs Station)
     Medic 7 (Six Mile Station)
     Medic 8 (Easley East side station)
     G1 - Coroner
     G4 - Coroner's transport unit 

This radio channel was originally a remote base when the frequency was shared by Greenville County EMS only 15 miles away. Greenville County eventually moved to UHF, and when FCC regulations allowed EMS VHF repeaters, the system was converted. It is referred to as channel 1.

County Units - 155.1150 Mhz
     100's - Administrator's Office
     200's - Public Works
     3200's - Emergency Management
     Rescue 6 (Central squad members 61 to 625)
     Rescue 7 (Pickens squad members 71 to 725)
     Rescue 8 (Easley squad members 81 to 825)
     Rescue 9 (Liberty squad members 91 to 925)

This is referred to as the Admin channel or channel 3. For many years, this was the only Pickens County VHF repeater channel for local government/EMS/Rescue use. It was originally located on Woodall Mountain, but was moved to the present 911 site when the Woodall Forestry tower was taken down. The move improved coverage east and north of Pickens, but coverage to the Clemson/Central area is less than before. All county services make use of this system and it becomes congested during severe weather events. The four Pickens County Rescue Squads operate under the County Emergency Management office.

     Pumpkintown VFD

The Norris Fire Department is dispatched on the town's water system channel.

Fire Department - 159.1125 Mhz
