Yesterday we posted about the upcoming reform for the MFB and CFA Integrated Stations and the new Fire Rescue Victoria entity. For those you who missed the post you can read it here: MMR Network – The MFB, CFA & new Fire Rescue Victoria.
We touched on the expected use of the MMR Network for what were previously CFA Integrated Stations in selected areas and those stations new Fire Station number allocations. With the upcoming change and transition to number based call signs we should expect a change in the appliance call signs, something also loosely touched on yesterday.
We can now advise the expected call sign structure for the appliances. They should look like the following;
| FRV Station Name | Station No. |
Appliance Call Sign |

Are You able to obtain and publish a full list of all Fire Rescue Victoria Station Numbers?
Hope this will suffice for now: https://vicradiozone.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/vicradio-zone-frv-station-id-district-qr.pdf
All the best.
I am a former vol firey from an integrated CFA station, and on day two I am confused, listening to District 8 RMR and only certain stations that are now FRV are using the District 8 CFA RMR network, like Frankston, Cranbourne, Dromana ,yet FRV stations like Dandenong, Hallam are using MMR network.
Also very confusing on RMR to hear FRV appliances calling Firecom, and on same network, CFA appliances using Vicfire, why they do not just use one, be it Firecom or Vicfire.
Hi There – I think in the very near future they will all revert to using FIRECOM.
