These frequencies are available from publicly available sources. They are not secret. |

Firecom dispatches all fire departments in Washington County except Johnson, Tontitown, Springdale (all dispatched by Springdale), and Fayetteville (self dispatched). They are based at CEMS (S School and W 6th St) in Fayetteville and are a secondary PSAP in the Washington Co E9-1-1 system. VFDs are toned out on the main channel. Dispatches are no longer transmitted on a Common Carrier alpha-numeric digital pager as they were in the early '90s. Local channels are mostly quiet.
