Yes. I monitor it regularly.
457,489Mhz is the default fire ground channel (Channel 3)

Re: Fire Alert Pagers
If your local fire service is on the retained duty system, volunteer or day manned they can be very busy during peak wildfire season.

Re: Fire Alert Pagers
How is it set up, is it wide area so a blanket signal for certain pagers or is it localised for which ever station they are paging for?
Where I live there is mainly whole time stations but retained stations about 8 - 10 miles away.
