The Marion County Firefighters Association held its monthly meeting Thursday night, June 27, at Bama-Q Pit & Grill in Hamilton.
HAMILTON - The Marion County Firefighters Association voted to approve a measure to relocate its Hackleburg repeater during its regular meeting on Thursday, June 27 at Bama-Q Pit & Grill in Hamilton.
A repeater is a radio tower that allows firefighters’ handheld radios and the radios in their trucks to communicate at a longer range.
“It is a radio on a tower at an elevated site that our low-power handhelds and mobiles (radios) in the trucks talk into and then broadcasts it out from a high elevation,” said Augy Avery, the assistant chief at the Shiloh Volunteer Fire Department and the communications officer for the Marion County Firefighters Association.
