I'm updating the Wiki pages that are linked to the National Incident Radio Support Cache database page. I have the official 2016 listings. To make the air to ground channel listings easier to use I'm adding a table that will show the channels sorted by Geographic Area Coordination Center use and further by dispatch center/initial attack zones. Using this table a person will be able to look up the channels used in a dispatch center and/or initial attack zone. I will revise the channel sorted table as well.
The two tables will reflect the initial attack assignments for the air to ground channels. A few channels have not been assigned to a dispatch/initial attack zone and are available for extended attack assignment. Some channels are assigned to extended attack fires when the frequencies don't interfere with initial attack assignments or assignments for park, forest, BLM district and wildlife refuge nets. When assignments are made on extended attack fires often times only the channel name is announced. With the channel sorted table it is easy to find the frequency quickly.
It will take a week or two for me to complete the second table and to revise the original table. The lower elevation fire season is now in full swing in the lower elevations and got a boost when temperatures finally warmed a couple or three weeks ago. As a result I'm trying to complete these listings as soon as I can.
I hope this improves the usefulness of the air to ground listings.
