Allegheny County Updates

I received this email :

Hi Frank,

Just wanted to pass along a few more updates you can post to PGHscanner.com when you get a chance...

---Springdale Boro EMS (Station 230) went out of service last July, and the Boro is now covered by Lower Valley EMS (Station 150)

---I also believe Versailles VFD stopped their volunteer EMS service as well (Station 650). All EMS calls I've heard over the past several months have all been covered by Elizabeth Township Area EMS (Station 520), with the fire department QRS 286 being dispatched as well.

I confirmed tonight that Elizabeth Area EMS, station 520 is now covering Versailles. Versailles station 286 is rolling a squad first responder. Squad 286 is dispatched on the East Fire channel, and responds on South EMS channel. I will make the updates to reflect station 650 as being closed.

I have also not heard PACER EMS Response, station 920 for a while. I believe that this station is out of service as well. I will update the site to reflect this station as out of service.

The Allegheny County Web site does list Lower Valley as the EMS agency for Springdale Boro.

Thanks to the local PGHScanner.com user for bringing this to my attention. I will confirm the Springdale Boro information and update that as soon as I can.

I try post any frequency information submitted to me on the Blog. Please let me know if you want your name mentioned with your information, or if you would prefer it not be posted at all. I will only place information that I can confirm on the web pages. This is part of the reason why PGHScanner.com continues to grow, and be up to date.

PACER Paramedic Responsse

I received an email about a new response service available to the East Zone. PACER Paramedic Response station 290. I will post frequency and tones when I get them.

There will be changes to the East and South zones, likely in August. Expect to see new police EMS, and fire freqs for both zones. Looks as if some South Zone freqs will be reallocated to East. From what I've heard the new South police channel comes in nice and strong.

The single frequency multicast with multiple transmitter sites are sounding good. The reallocation of the countywide Tac freqs with zones, users, and uses for certain Tac channels is good to see. I will post more as these come on air and are confirmed. Overall a more efficient, and organized system.

Allegheny County Dispatch - East Fire

Allegheny County East Fire - 470.3875 PL 123.0

There has been testing on this lately. Today radio service was talking about turning on the link. Tonight this seems to be linked with 472.5875 PL 136.5, and 472.8375 PL 156.7. These two have used 475.5875 for the input to the linked system.

From the sounds of the testing, this is primarily to serve the Penn Hills region.

Tonight this is linked, and now Penn Hills fire dispatches are going through the system. Penn Hills is still responding on VHF 154.400 PL 146.2.

During testing last night they were referring to Ops 2. There was some testing on 470.325 PL 146.3, and they switched back to Ch. 1 which was 470.3875.
