[@gdub350]

Fun fact, all those new anniversary livery boxes were suppose to be medstars but they backed out of the order.

[@whiplashfirephotography8348]

That’s honestly really cool

[@dfw_firebuff]

@@gdub350 I knew the light pattern was similar. That's funny lol

[@FortWorthFire17]

THERE IS A HOUSE STRUCTURE FIRE AT FAIR PARK BLVD CAN U TRY TO CATCH IT 7:50PM

[@dfw_firebuff]

That's very far from where I live

[@FortWorthFire17]

Wait but how were you abre to catch 5,17,29,and 26? Isnt it far away also

[@dfw_firebuff]

@@FortWorthFire17 I set time aside some weekends to visit fire stations and catch them

[@Kjoseph1982]

What do you use as a scanner ? Recently I’ve been trying to get into radio traffic, more specifically listen to Fort worth, but I don’t know what works and what doesn’t. Any ideas ?

[@dfw_firebuff]

@Kjoseph1982 I use a Uniden SDS100. Fort Worth is a digital P25 Phase 2 simulcast system so your only options are pretty much the SDS100 and SDS200. You can try with other P25 scanners, however you are going to be subject to Simulcast Distortion and may not be able to hear some transmissions

[@mcembuff]

Nice! Has Dallas recently switched their medic liveries besides the 50 anniversary one? Are the fully switching to Demers also.

[@dfw_firebuff]

@@mcembuff Not that I'm aware. The new ones look pretty similar to the old ones

[@mcembuff]

@@dfw_firebuff Ok, you’re welcome as well!

[@mike-mf4ze]

no they are keeping the all red only have a few of the white rescues. i think they are giving demers a try but i dont see it sticking honestly
