Lets Support the Orland Fire Department
My Hometown Helper - Hometown Project for Orland Fire Department
The Orland Fire Department is requesting funds by My Hometown Helper” to acquire replacement fire department pagers and several new radios. The cost of these items is $13,000.

In the next couple of years all across the country every agency that uses radio communications specifically UHF and VHF frequencies will be required by the FCC to change how their systems transmit and receive. Many systems are now utilizing what is called “wideband” (including Orland) which is how the separate radio “channels” are assigned. When the change occurs, we will be forced to change use “narrowband” frequency assignments which most of our current pagers are not compatible with. This is similar to the digital TV change over happening next year.

"We need your support in this project by visiting and leaving a positive comment to help our chances of receiving these funds from the company. The bottom line is this; we will have to replace this equipment with or without help from outside organizations to continue to operate. We don’t want the quality of the services we provide to suffer due to redirected funds from our operating budget, nor do we want to burden the folks by asking for more of their hard earned money.

We are trying to be proactive to acquire this equipment now so we don’t put ourselves with all the other agencies that aren’t looking ahead and find themselves in a bind at the last minute. In no way do we want our emergency response to be hindered by lack of communications.

Please visit the site below and give us your support, it only takes a few minutes. Also please forward this email or site address to anyone you feel might be willing to help us as well. The more comments and support from our community and friends, the better our chances of receiving this grant."
