Hackers are jamming emergency communications in Maine

IWCE/MRT, May 5 2004

York County, Maine, public-safety
officials said someone is deliberately
jamming emergency radio frequencies,
putting firefighters at risk, the Associated
Press reported. Eight incidents have
occurred over the past two months,
according to the county.

In one, a Waterboro, Maine fire chief was unable to contact firefighters
who were battling a blaze inside a burning mobile home.  The
interference has occurred on the primary fire frequency used by 16 fire
departments in the county, the AP said.  The FCC reportedly is
investigating the incidents.
