Due to technical issues with their UHF T-Band conventional frequencies, Fire suppression and EMS units are using talkgroups on the OEMC 800 MHz trunked system (see below).  The UHF T-Band conventional dispatch repeater channels will serve as alternates. (09/23)
Chicago Fire is divided into 2 dispatch areas:  Main (North) and Englewood (South).  The south branch of the Chicago River / Sanitary Ship Canal (which runs just north of I-55 / Stevenson Expressway) is the dividing line.   North of the canal – Main, south of the canal - Englewood. 
Chicago OEMC Public Safety - 800 MHz P25
Project 25 Phase II		Chicago FD and EMS are currently using talkgroups on this system for primary dispatch operations. (6/23)
