The Willard Fire Dept has an excellent Dispatch and Two Way radio system. When a call for service comes in to the County funded 911 center in Springfield MO, the call is sent to the fire dispatcher, which sends out the call to the Willard Firemen and to the Willard Fire Stations. They then receive the call on the new 800 MHz Trunking Radio System or on the Frequency of 154.400 MHz. All the Firemen carry a Minitor 11 Motorola Pager or a Vertex VX 180 VHF Radio.
