Two-way radios for fire and EMS
Rugged, loud, glove-friendly radios and in-building coverage for firefighters and paramedics.
Firefighters and paramedics work in heat, water, smoke, and noise, often while wearing gloves and breathing apparatus. Their radios need large controls, very loud audio, and housings that can take punishment. FirstCom Radio equips fire departments and ambulance services with radios built for that work and with the in-building coverage that lets crews talk from inside a structure.
How two-way radios are used in fire and EMS
- Fireground channels that keep interior crews in contact with incident command
- Emergency alerts that identify a firefighter in distress
- Ambulance-to-hospital and ambulance-to-dispatch communication
- Station alerting, mutual aid channels, and wildland operations
What we recommend
Organizations in fire and EMS most often ask us for public safety radio services, in-building coverage systems, vehicle radio installations, and 24/7 emergency service. The right combination depends on the size of your team, the area you need to cover, and how private your communications must be, and we are glad to talk it through with you.
