Old audio clips from a major forest fire in Monroe Twp, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The still photos are from the actual incident.
Back in the 80's, all fire departments were dispatched and operated on a single low band frequency of 33.82. You'll hear what a mess it is with fire ground units trying to communicate while neighboring towns try to dispatch mutual aid. Ocean County, NJ was also set up this way but they had a few extra fire ground channels for departments to operate on.
