Did you know you can listen to live fire radio from Cape Cod on a
couple different websites? At least two other websites
in the area provide this service and you can take advantage
of them from here. Listen to the action as you look at
the departments, stations, and apparatus right here.
Cape Cod Live Scanner
is
provided by Tim Caldwell, who is a long time Cape
dispatcher. He has done some wonderful things on the net for
the Cape, including
Caldwell's Antenna with
lots of radio info, and without a doubt, the BEST, most up
to date emergency news website
Cape Wide News.
So
be sure to click on Tim's scanner feed while you search the
site and keep his Cape Wide News in your favorites to stay
up on all the latest fires, accidents, and crimes in the
area.
Scott Halligan, another long time Cape dispatcher,
provides another great website and another great way to
listen to the action.
Scan Cape Cod
- Live Radio
will
bring you to his site and the live scanner feeds. You
should also get to know his site for the wealth of
information about communications and more at
ScanCapeCod.us.
Thanks to both of these guys for the hard work and the
great service they provide to listeners.
