A Fire Station volunteer (“FS volunteer”) is a specialized Amateur Radio Operator (ARO), OR a non-licensed volunteer assisting the ARO, who works independently of BEECN cohorts and communicates with the Portland Emergency Coordination Center (ECC).Fire Station volunteers also form a cohort of eight for each fire station. Each shift requires one primary and one backup ARO. Fire Station Volunteers are responsible for relaying messages from BEECNs to the ECC during deployments and exercises and are fundamental to BEECN operations. Therefore, a BEECN cohort should know who the Fire Station Volunteer is who will be relaying their messages. The responsibilities of Fire Station Volunteers are described in [[Operations: Fire Stations]]
