The county of North Huron operates two volunteer fire departments, Wingham and Blyth. This channel features full radio transmissions of their calls, edited when privacy is required. Video is also included when available. Suicides and any medical calls where an individual's medical privacy cannot be maintained will not be included.

The Howick Township fire department does not have a repeater tower so communications are less than ideal. After the initial page, the dispatch is switched to a different antenna, lowering the quality that is recorded.

'Actual time' stated in the video is the total recorded time, from the beginning of the initial page to the end of the final transmission.
