FIRE & EMS RADIO CODES

Effective October 1, 2007, the Southeast Ohio EMS District has suspended all radio codes and signals to
comply with National Incident Management requirements for mutual aid radio communication
At this time, Vinton County EMS still uses the SEOEMS radio codes.
Other EMS agencies may use the Buckeye State Sheriff codes or plain english.
