Yakima Co. Database last updated 1/6/10

Hello! This page will explain jurisdicions and what you'll hear when scanning the Yakima Valley. Below are the Main
Dispatch and Ops repeaters for Fire Departments and Police Departments County-wide. Upper and Lower Yakima 
County is split in the middle by Ahtanum Ridge. Everything south of the ridge is considered the Lower Valley and 
everything North of the ridge is considered the Upper Valley. 



Please see the Yakima County page in the database for a list of simplex tactical channels for all agencies.

What you will hear when Scanning the Upper Yakima Valley:

154.190 - Old County Fire Main Dispatch. Yakima County has retained this frequency and uses it for 
the Fire Repeater on Clemans Mt. which is near the Nile-Cliffdell Fire Department. There is also a narrowband 
simulcast site on Mt. Clemans, but Nile-Cliffdell fire still uses the 154.190 repeater.

154.2575 - Yakima County Fire Main Dispatch - Upper Valley "County Main". This is the Receive frequency for
the Upper Valley Fire Dispatch Narrowband Simulcast Repeater System. 3 sites (Eagle Peak, Cowiche Mtn. and

Highland, Selah, Gleed and West Valley units follow the Upper Valley Apparatus Numbering 
System and are designated by their Apparatus Number. 
The first Number is the station they are from, the second number is what type of truck they are:
1's are 1st out Engines
2's are 2nd out Engines
5's are Tenders
6's are Brush Trucks
7's are Rescue Trucks
8's are Aerial Trucks 
9's are mixed some rehab, some rescue trucks. 
(West Valley 11 is the 1st out Engine of West Valley Station 1. Selah 45 is the Tender out of Selah Station 4 etc...)

Personell numbers are slightly different, as every department uses them differently. "Department Name" followed
by a "1" is always the Chief. (West Valley 1, Gleed 1 etc...) "Department Name" followed by a "2" is sometimes a 
Deputy Chief or Captain. 3's and 4's and on down the list are different for every department. 

West Valley Fire Department and Highland Fire Department will also use "West Valley/Highland 101, 102, 103 or 104" where 
"West Valley 101" is the Captain for Station 1, "Highland 201" is the captain for Station 2 and so on. 102, 103 and 
104, 202, 203 etc... are Lieutenants. There are a few departments that follow that and West Valley and Highland are 
good examples of that.

154.430 - City of Yakima Fire Ops. "Ops" repeater used when apparatus are on scene at ususally a

155.220 - AMR Ambulance Dispatch. (See Description for ALS ambulance below for jurisdiction) Also 
does a lot of transporting in the Lower Yakima Valley to those area hospitals.

155.400 - Advanced Life Systems Ambulance. There are no agencies in the Upper Yakima Valley that

response from your Local Fire Department as well as an ALS or AMR ambulance (which ever is closest,
determined by AVL.) 

155.535 - Yakima County Sheriff's Office (YSO) "Eagle" Repeater. This repeater serves as the Main 
Dispatch Repeater for the Yakima County Sheriff's Deputies patrolling the Upper Yakima Valley. Sheriff's Deputies

they are assisting another agency or making a traffic stop.

What you will hear when Scanning the Lower Yakima Valley:

In the Lower Valley, each City has its own Police Department and most are dispatched over the Sheriff's

have their own dispatch centers.

The City of Sunnyside Fire Department and Town of White Swan both operate ambulance services that transport to the hospital.
AMR also transports in the Lower Valley to area hospitals. Sunnyside ambulance is Dispatched on this frequency
and is the only fire department in the county that operates a paramedic ambulance program that transports to the
hospital. White Swan Ambulance is dispatched on 154.085.

District 5 migrated from their 154.385 "KOK-411" repeater to their new Narrowband Simulcast system on October 28th 2009.
The new dispatch frequency is 155.0325 and they now say "Valley Fire" instead of "411" or "KOK-411."

155.880 - Yakima County Fire Ops Repeater - Lower Valley Similar to the City of Yakima, this repeater
alongside a few tac channels are used when units are on-scene from multiple stations or jurisdictions.

155.760 - Yakima County Sheriff's Office "Lookout" Repeater Like the Upper Valley, the Lower Valley has 
it's own Main Dispatch Frequency for the Sheriff's Office on the Lookout Point in the Lower Valley. Officer unit 
numbers in the Upper Valley apply in the Lower Valley as well.  



Some other things you'll come across when searching public safety frequencies for the Yakima Valley:

155.730 - Yakima County Sheriff's Office "Bethel" Repeater - This Repeater is located on the ridge above 
Rimrock Lake up Chinook Pass (HWY 410). It is used by the Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) deputies that patrol up there and work 
radar on the pass, mostly in the summer time. 

155.730 - Yakima County Sheriff's Office "Elephant" Repeater - This Repeater is located East, by 
South-East of Yakima on Elephant Mtn. and serves as a back-up repeater for the Lower Valley. 
Unfortunately, the RX PL tones and frequencies are the same for both Bethel and Elephant so you
wouldn't know which repeater the unit is on, unless they specify.
