Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Olmos Park FD

AH, TH, OP FDs were exercising at the "Ft Sam Houston Burn Tower" this evening. They were using the primary fire channel (TG 04-041) during one drill. In between drills there was a real life medical call, so before commencing the next drill they moved to "TAC-3" on TG 04-046. I submitted this new TG to the database.

Sorry, forgot to mention that, though their response was simulated in this case, the order in which neighboring small municipalities would provide mutual aid was Castle Hills first, then Balcones Heights, and Leon Valley third. At least that was the way this multi-alarm exercise went.

Not official, of course, but I found it interesting.

Also a note, CHFD, BHFD and LVFD all have 154.205 pl 156.7 programmed into there radios as "cty mut aid" they use this as a tac channel for mutual aid to any of the three above citys. Usually around eight in the morning you will hear BHFD testing on it.

Thanks for the update. I did notice that the AH website said they did the dispatching for several other agencies including Shavano Park FD. Didn't know if it was just an old web page.
