Cabell County Completes Final Phase of Radio System Improving Area Coverage for Fire Departments

Cabell County, WV – The Cabell County Commission is pleased to announce the completion of the final phase of a new countywide Project 25 (P25) simulcast radio communications system, giving county volunteer fire departments a unified, modern communications platform.

The $4.5 million radio system provides enhanced interoperability, expanded coverage and improved reliability for emergency communications for volunteer fire departments throughout the county. Last month, Cabell County EMS and Sheriff’s Department went live with their upgraded communications channels.

One of the most significant improvements is that all county volunteer fire departments will now operate on a single countywide dispatch channel. This streamlined approach allows firefighters to communicate more efficiently during routine and large-scale incidents while freeing the legacy radio system to be dedicated exclusively to fireground operations.

“Separating dispatch communications from on-scene operations will reduce radio congestion and improve firefighter safety by ensuring communications remain clear and available when they are needed most,” Nazim Abbess, Cabell County 911 & Emergency Management Director said.

Additionally, the new system will improve coverage to areas of the county that previously had poor reception. Prior to this upgrade, responders would often see communication limitations, particularly in southern parts of Culloden, a critical vulnerability during emergencies.

“From the Barboursville Volunteer Fire Department’s perspective, this digital changeover will allow the fire departments to have better communications in areas where coverage was bad in certain areas.” Andrew Frazier, Barboursville Volunteer Fire Department’s Chief said.

The project was funded entirely through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) COVID-19 recovery funds. The implementation of the system marks one of the largest public safety communications upgrades in the county’s history and positions the county to meet the communications needs of emergency services for years to come.
