    APRIL 2009
    NOTICE TO ALL LISTENERS OF "MASSNET" APRIL 01, 2009 After many long hours of thought and deliberation we have made a decision we wish we did not have to make. Based upon the recent level of interest in Buffing and the continued reduced level of financial support from our subscriber base we have decided to shut "MassNet" down. The current financial restraints upon us all have just made this to expensive to continue. As some may know the John Hancock was auctioned off on Tuesday and we have already been contacted to re-negotiate our lease. This would most likely lead to an increase in our rent. For the past three years we have taken in less than 25% of the needed funds to support this location and therefore must take this action.

    JANUARY 2009
    Nashua Trunked Radio system has started re-banding - New Control channel is 853.450, replacing 868.450. Secondary control channel is 852.3625 replacing 867.3625.

    Newmarket Fire "Dispatch" is now on 155.0850 (136.5) - Two-tone tone-out tones of 582.1 1046.8  

    FEBRUARY 2008
    Frisbee EMS Rochester is now dispatched on 151.235 (103.5)

    JANUARY 2008
    Wilton-Lyndeborough-Temple EMS based in Wilton, NH currently covers the Towns of Wilton, Lyndeborough and Temple with dispatch from two different dispatch centers. Wilton calls are dispatched by MACC Base in Milford on 155.100 as 30A1 or 30A2, Lyndeborough calls are dispatched by KMA SWNH on 154.43 as 82A1 and 82A2 and Temple calls are dispatched also by SWNH on 154.43 as 50A1 and 50A2. When the ambulance is toned to Wilton calls, they come up on the SWNH frequency to advise that they are on a call to Wilton, and visa versa when they go to Lyndeborough or Temple they go up on the MACC Base Frequency and tell them the same. This is to avoid both dispatch centers trying to send out the same rig.

    This came about because the towns of Lyndeborough and Temple use SWNH for their Fire Dispatch and wanted the Ambulance on the same frequency, while Wilton is a member of MACC Base and continues to use them for all departments.


    North Andover FD has re-banded now operating on 852.600 DPL 226

    ¿Questions to Statewide?

    Q. What does a notification incident sound like on the air?
    A. Click on 032405-nashua.wav and listen to this 3.5 minute file

    Q: I hear you guys put out some jobs on the scanner that you don't put out on my pager. How come?
    A: Statewide is a radio based notification group, we have no affiliation with paging groups.

    Q: Can I get a copy or permission to use a photo that appears on the Statewide site? A: The photos that appear on the Statewide site are copyrighted properties of the photographers listed with the photographs. You may e-mail the statewidewebmaster at and he in turn with forward your requested to the photographer. Since the Statewide mailbox is not read everyday and the photographer may not in turn read their e-mail everyday, this process may take several days. If you're on a deadline, plan for a delay.

    Q: Can I get the police audio for a call to 911 Elm Street in Woodsville on Apr 31, 2003?
    A: Contact your local police dispatch center for that information. Statewide only has access to what is recorded by our members. We present nearly everything we have recorded either on the homepage or the archives. If you don't see it listed, we don't have it.

    Q: Why don't you print entire news stories, rather than just one or two lines?
    A: Doctrine of Fair Use, Federal Copyright Laws allows for only a small portion of the article to be used without direct permission. By showing a headline and a couple of lines of the body of the Read the Story , and then providing a direct link to the article, we are within "fair use" limits.
    I base this on the considerable experience in copyright issues as it relates to journalism, broadcast, print and new media. These laws not only pertain to websites, and newsletters, but also to e-mails/group lists, and audio/video as well.

    What's Dispatched

    Working Fires - 1st Alarm Fires - All Companies Working Fires - Serious Motor Vehicle Accidents, major Rescues, major Hazardous Material Incidents that our dispatchers can or could monitor over the air using their scanners. This does not include incidents out of scanner listening range that are received via internet, pager, or relayed from another fire buff organization. This is where we differ from some other fire buff radio systems


    For multiple alarm fires, we do extend our reach and may rely on means beyond what we hear on our scanners.


    We limit radio traffic between 11pm and 6am to Fires   -- MORE --

    Bath New Old Engine On Dec. 10, the Bath Fire Department took delivery of a 1979 Ford F700 pumper fire truck, rounding off their assemblage of one engine and two tankers. They paid just $2,500 for the vehicle which has a mere 5,000 miles on it.

    The pumper truck was previously owned by the Boylston MA Fire Department. The plan is to keep the pumper truck on the west side of the Ammonoosuc River. With the weight limit restrictions placed on the Bath Covered Bridge, it is imperative to have an emergency vehicle that can be on the ready on the west side of the River.

    Jun 09, 2000 - Woonsocket,RI - Jenckes Mill complex, seven acre abandoned mill site, a crazy-quilt warren of rooms and corridors added to the site since 1822 . The original fieldstone building in the center of the complex was the Jenckes Mill, oldest mill site in Woonsocket. Over the years, the mill was called the Dunn Worsted, making woolen goods and was finally home to Electronic Molding Corporation. While a thrift store tried and failed to make a go of it in one of the newer areas, the complex had been vacant for at least 10 years. A major concern was to keep the fire from spreading to a residential block of multifamily homes and a furniture store across the street and downwind of the inferno. Fire and rescue personnel from North Smithfield, Lincoln, Cumberland, Blackstone, Millville and other surrounding communities poured in to assist and to provide station coverage.
