Yes. The La Crosse Fire Department has VHF and UHF capabilities for communications with agencies outside of the City of La Crosse. These capabilities have been in place as a result of our Regional Hazardous Materials Response program that covers an eight county area. We also have communications capabilities as being a member of Taskforce 2, Technical Rescue Team that covers southwestern Wisconsin.
