Reliable radios are central to effective command and control and situational awareness, enabling incident commanders (ICs) to communicate with their own crewmembers, other assisting agencies and the governments they serve in real time. Without reliable communications, ICs cannot protect their personnel and the public effectively. As such, a fire service radio must be consistently reliable to fulfill its function.
