First, it sounds like you may have programned your scanner wrong. If your only hearing the control channel, then you need to check and see if your scanner is programmed according to the manufacturers directions.
Also, you should only need to program the KC Similcast frequencies to listen in your area.
Are you trying to listen on a scanner capable of monitoring a trunked radio system? If not, then your going to have problems listening.
Once you get your programming situation straitened-out, here are the talkgroups you should be listening to for your area(Kent):
Fire-1: 38448 (Kent FD is dispatched by Valley Communications)
Fire-2: 38480
Fire-3: 38512
Fire-4: 38544
Fire-5: 30672
Fire-6: 30704
Fire-7: 30736
Kent Fire Admin.: 38832
Kent Fire Preven: 38864
Kent PD Primary: 37136
Kent PD Tactical: 37168
Kent PD Admin. : 37200
Those should get you started. If you're interested in more TG's check out the Intercept site for more info.
