            On Island Emergency Services listening list

  With a large area like the island of Montreal, there is a lot
of action on the many emergency services frequencies such as Fire,
EMS/ambulance and Police services.  To get the pulse on what makes this
city tick, a listen to some of these frequencies in order.  Although in
the past I have given lists of frequencies for the Montreal area,
these lists often get lost and quite often become outdated with the
various changes that occur over time.  There also may have been a new
group of scanner listeners since the last listing or they may have not
been interested with scanning the various emergency services. To keep
everyone happy here is a current list.
