FIRE EQUIPMENT


During the early 1970's there was a need for some form of alerter for fire brigades to take the place of alarm bells and sirens to alert retained firefighters of a call out.

Given the success of the police use of personal radio a solution based on radio equipment was sought and fire brigade alerters were the result.

These initially operated on a frequency of 147.8Mhz using audio tones and later were pocsag pagers.

 Below are a number of types used by Fire brigades over the years.

 

PYE

 

MULTITONE

 

DATANET

 

MAL

 

SWISSPHONE
