CAL FIRE Safety Alert - Change in Air/Ground frequencies

Duster · Mar 8, 2015

Attached is CAL FIRE Safety Communication 2015-01, related to significant changes to the CDF A/G channel lineup statewide for this fire season. I've been directed by my supervisor to ensure that ANYONE who might need to see this, does so. Therefore, it is being posted here in addition to official distribution. Please forward to anyone in any agency who may work on a California State or Federal wildland fire incident this year. They WILL need to re-program their radios to meet this change.

Very cool. Thanks for making this available to those agencies that may need to interface with Cal Fire. I will let my contacts in the public safety community know.

Thanks for the post. I passed it along to those who need it.

CDF A/G 1,2,3 new ch. in the DB

I just loaded the new channel plan with the P.L. And noticed modulation is FM, it should be NFM correct?

Don't program radios just yet...possible CTCSS changes to this memo on the way down the pipe.

I've been on vacation for a week and haven't seen my work email...what happened?

I heard they realized the new A/G2 and A/G3 freqs are interstitials right next to the Local Net repeater input freqs in some Units. Using tone 1 could trigger repeaters that are in those areas. Rumor says they'll use tone 16 like the other CalFire tacs. Big meeting tomorrow in Sack-o-tomatoes to hash it out. Again, this is all 3rd hand but somewhat makes sense.

Duster · Mar 19, 2015

Yeah, that makes pretty logical sense. I'm back on Sunday, I'll follow up on it then and put out an update

Safety Alert **UPDATED**

The UPDATED Safety Alert regarding the 2015 Fire Season CAL FIRE Air-to-Ground Frequency changes has been released:

CHANGES NOTED:
- CTCSS protection changed from Tone 1 to Tone 16 (192.8).
- AG 1 will NOT have Receive side CTCSS for this fire season
- Siskiyou Unit (SKU) has been changed from AG 2 to AG 1 due to a conflict with Oregon.

I will post the actual safety alert shortly. Please ensure wide dissemination of this updated information for the safety of all personnel working on State or Federal fires this season.

Thanks Duster!

The actual Safety Alert

Sorry for that...the original document had a couple of pages that shouldn't be placed on a public server IMHO.

Here it is:

I agree, glad you changed that. Maybe take down your original memo. That might get downloaded without your update and confuse someone along the line.

Thanks Duster !

I wanted to, but the post is too old, and it won't let me edit it. Is there another way to remove the original PDF file? I can't even edit the post to say "DO NOT USE"...

ScannerDude244 · Mar 24, 2015

What about the Air tacs? stay the same?

kma371 · Mar 24, 2015

Looks like it

If you posted it here on RR as an attachment, I think you can go to your control panel and delete attachments.
