York County Fire & Rescue

York County Fire & Rescue is a county-level public-safety organization providing fire suppression, rescue, and first-response services within York County, Maine. York County Fire & Rescue provides fire coverage across York County, Maine.

This page lists the radio frequencies and channels on file for the agency. The dispatch channel is the one that carries initial alarms and the assignment of units to a call; the tactical or fireground channel is what units move to once they arrive on scene to keep dispatch traffic clear for new alarms. EMS agencies typically also use a med channel for hospital communications, where paramedics give entry notifications and consult medical control before invasive interventions.

If you are programming a scanner specifically to monitor York County Fire & Rescue, the channels below are the minimum set you'll need. Add the relevant statewide mutual aid channels from the Maine state page so you can follow the assignment if it escalates and the incident commander requests outside resources. The full nationwide NIFOG interop set is also worth a bank of its own — those channels are the canonical fallback when a multi-agency incident outgrows any single jurisdiction's primary plan.

Mode is typically analog narrowband FM in jurisdictions still on conventional VHF or UHF; agencies that have migrated to a state P25 trunked system will appear with P25 Phase 1 (or in some markets, Phase 2 TDMA). Those entries usually show a representative voice or control frequency rather than a single working channel, because the talkgroup roams across the system's site infrastructure.
