• Oxford Looks To Fix Problems With Aging Radio System (patch.com) — Oxford officials are weighing upgrades to the town's aging emergency radio system after fire leaders reported intermittent communication problems that could affect public safety. Proposed changes include moving radio connections to fiber, updating receiver sites, and linking the Oxford Center Fire Station to the regional dispatch center so problem sites can be monitored and shut down remotely. Funding sources and a completion timeline have not yet been announced.
