Understanding Fire Radio Traffic
Fire departments often use specific terminology and unit identifiers. For example, “Engine 12” may refer to a particular fire station crew, while “Medic 6” designates an ambulance unit. Dispatchers typically begin by assigning units, followed by updates from crews on the scene.
Learning common fire radio terms can help you follow along more easily. Check out our Severe Weather Listening Guide for additional context.
When the Feed is Quiet
Fire and rescue calls happen in bursts. There may be long stretches of silence followed by periods of rapid activity when multiple incidents occur. Silence on the scanner is normal and usually means crews are not actively transmitting.
Responsible Use
Scanner feeds are provided for educational and informational use. Do not use radio traffic to interfere with responders or attempt to respond to incidents yourself. Always dial 911 for emergencies.
This site does not encourage unsafe use of scanner information, and we remind listeners to respect the privacy of those involved in incidents.
