NJMFPA Fire Photo Radio System
The NJMFPA
utilizes a UHF based radio system to alert members and transmits
information regarding fires, both monitored over standard radio frequencies, and
more importantly, from the actual scenes of active jobs.
Metro 1 Alpine Radio System, is a division of the NJMFPA.
It is a radio system designed for fire photographers, but is open to anyone with
an interest in the fire service. If you wish to listen to Fire Photo
Radio, Metro1 Alpine is received on 452.175Mhz, with a PL tone of 114.8
Metro 1 Alpine transmits CONFIRMED WORKING FIRES ONLY, and
reports from the scene of those fires. There are no reports of accidents,
haz-mat operations, traffic tie-ups, police incidents, or idle talk that can be
done on the telephone.
Our rules are strictly enforced and monitored by supervisors.
If the radio system is quiet, that usually means there are no working fires.
If a worker is reported, experienced members respond and give ACCURATE reports
from the scene. This ensures that other responding members know whether or
not to continue response to the scene or not. Hearing reports first-hand
from a member at the scene can give a visual that pager companies cannot, and
are invaluable to the fire photographer.
If you are interested in joining Fire Photo Radio, contact the
Radio Chairman for an application form. Application forms
should be mailed to our PO Box listed on the form, along with annual dues of
$75.00, payable each January.
