North Carolina Fire Radios On-line

RALEIGH - Did you know you can listen to Charlotte’s three alarm fire being dispatched? That you can listen to Greensboro Fire working the haz-mat that closed down the Interstate overnight? That Raleigh’s save at the house fire is on-line for you to listen to whenever you want?

FireNews.net and Carolinas Fire Page have been working with a dedicated individual named Gordon in Georgia to help bring as many Fire and EMS radios on-line as possible.

The map above shows who is on-line so far:

Asheville Fire
Caldwell County Fire and EMS
Catawba County Fire and EMS
Charlotte Fire
Craven County Fire
Davidson County Fire and EMS
Forsyth County Fire and EMS
Greensboro Fire
Guilford County Fire and EMS
Havelock Fire
Henderson County Fire
Lenoir Fire
Mecklenburg County Fire
Onslow County Fire
Raleigh Fire
Reidsville Fire New
Robeson County Fire and EMS New
Stokes County Fire and EMS
Transylvania County Fire and EMS
Wake County Fire and EMS
Winston-Salem Fire
Yadkin County Fire and EMS

You can listen to any of the above agencies in real-time using any of the following media players for free:

Window Media Player
RealPlayer
iTunes
Winamp
Web-based Player (our preference)

There is also a twenty-one day archive that breaks the radio traffic into 15 minute segments. This allow you to go back and listen for a particular incident.

If you are interested in adding your department’s radio to the system, it’s very easy and free. All you need is a computer with a broad-band connection, a scanner and a patch cord (one from Radio Shack is about $5). The computer does not need to be dedicated to the task of broadcasting; the bandwidth used is very small.

If you are a frequent listener, you may want to consider a small donation to the owner in Georgia to help off-set the cost of the system.
