Berkshire County

County Fire

Except as noted below, all towns in the county use the county fire radio frequencies.. Some towns (listed below) have separate licensed frequencies, used primarily for fire training but also fire ground operations. County Fire also dispatches Southern Berkshire Ambulance in Great Barrington.
159.6375 is a unlicensed repeater of Berkshire County coming from the New Ashford area, likely on top of Brodie Mountain.

County Police

All towns in the county that have their own patrols, and do not have a separate frequency listed, are dispatched on the county frequencies here from Berkshire Sheriff's Control. Great Barrington, despite having their own dispatch, uses the same frequency/PL tone as "county south". At this time, the county south frequency is not repeated. Towns dispatched on County South are those which were formerly dispatched from Great Barrington. (Egremont, Monterey, Sandisfield and Sheffield)
