Everett fire channel 3 / fireground C

[havmedic26]

hey! I was on scene at the Everett fire today. They were using "channel 3 - tactical", but my agency did not have that channel, nor did I as a member of metrofire. Their portables and chelsea's portables displayed it as "LZW fireground C" Anyone know what freq they were using?

Everett FD uses the following frequencies:

Dispatch 470.05R PL 186.2
Tactical 482.175R PL 107.2
Metro Fire Central Fireground 485.1875 PL 127.3 (simplex/direct)

Metro Fire Central Fireground is also used by Chelsea and Medford and occasionally by Revere

Mabye L is Zone L
