Fire Boat Communications - Channel Question

[Recon Five]

Quick Q: Other than the VHF Marine channels, what FDNY channel(s) do the fire boats normally monitor operate on when not responding to a box - Citywide or their respective borough?  (In other words which channel do I listen to to hear them the most?)

I believe it is "Citywide" although that may have changed.

They operate on their respective boro frequencies and 6B on the DARS.....

Dan, when did they go on boro radio as opposed to City-Wide?

The older big Boats used to switch from Citywide to the boro they were responding to then back to Citywide after the run....however today w/all the new Boats in the FDNY i am not sure ...the Summer boats do still sign off on the Boro frequency when going OOS at night.

That's what I thought. Thanks Chief.
