Scanner feeds

Public-safety radio from this county that somebody is streaming online, with what each feed carries.

No police channel from this county is on a feed — not the Sheriff’s, not any city’s. What is streamed is fire: MetroNet, the shared fire dispatch for Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and the north county cities, with the two beach cities’ own channels, and the Orange County Fire Authority, which answers for Seal Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente. Start with MetroNet north of Laguna and the Fire Authority south of it.

Run by volunteers, not by any agency. They play an ad first, run a minute or so behind the radio, and can go quiet without notice; Broadcastify’s page for each one shows whether it is on. Not a way to get help: call 911.
