NEW HAMPSHIRE STATEWIDE NOTIFICATION ASSOCIATION

New Hampshire Statewide Notification was organized in 1988 and was the first system of it's kind in New Hampshire and Northern New England. Statewide is made up of Fire Service enthusiasts. Many members of area Fire Departments. Statewide announces Working and Multiple Alarm Fires and Hazardous Materials Incidents. They occasionally will do other large scale incidents if a large fire service contingent is involved. Members that goto Working Fire incidents also give progress reports on the fire for other Statewide members, fire buffs or media members enroute or monitoring the fire. Statewide uses a series of 10-Codes to report on incidents and/or general traffic between units. Because business frequencies are used, the PL tone is usually required to lock out the other business on the frequency but it still can be monitored without PL.
