Which channel is used for Nassau Fire/Rescue (dispatch)?

• A. A5
• B. A6
• C. A3
• D. A13

Answer: (D)

The Nassau Fire/Rescue dispatch channel is the dedicated link between the dispatch center and responding units. This channel handles the initial alarm, incident details, unit assignments, and ongoing status updates, and is monitored by dispatch to ensure everyone gets the same information at the same time. Keeping dispatch on its own channel avoids clutter on on-scene radios, which switch to tactical channels for operations. The other channels are used for different purposes (non-dispatch or mutual-aid traffic), so they aren’t used for Nassau Fire/Rescue dispatch.
