Surrey Fire halls are paged out with a DTMF code prior to the call. This DTMF code is the same as the hall number, with leading 0\'s to make up a three digit number. For example, Hall 1 gets paged out with 001, while Hall 15 gets paged out with 015.

The DTMF code 789 is used as a "all halls" broadcast code. It can be heard just before the morning briefing broadcast.

Surrey Fire still simulcasts Tac-1 (Dispatch) on 154.310MHz. This is primarily for the volunteers benefit. Surrey Fire is a "composite" department, that has both full-time and volunteer staff. Page-outs (2 tone) go out on this frequency to alert the volunteers to respond as required.

This is why you will hear things like "Pump 2 with driver and first aid", this is a volunteer unit reporting their status to dispatch when they man a truck for a response.

You will also hear a "stand-by callout only" for certain halls, this is in conjunction with a page-out to bring in volunteer staff to the hall in event that further equipment is required at the hall or for coverage.
