From CAL FIRE (CAL_FIRE) on Twitter
Bullard Fire [Update] below Bullards Bar Dam off Marysville Road (Yuba County) is now 500 acres.

Sounds like command is on CALFIRE Command 7 151.4600, coming in loud and clear here in Sacramento. Ordering lots of resources for tomorrow morning.

I was wondering what frequencies they would be on. Seems like I cant get command 7 here in Roseville on my BC246T portable with a VHF antenna unfortunately :/

I'm not hearing anything on command 7, they may have quit using it as the command frequency.
Try 168.775, 168.175, 126.825, 127.475

I'm not sure what the ground tactical is, does anybody know?

I think that's the narrowband Air Tactics 23.

I've heard stuff all over the spectrum for this fire in the past two days, but the most active freq right now seems to be around 126.825, which sounds like some sort of air-to-air freq for the helicopters. Not sure who's in charge of that one, as I can't find anything about it anywhere save for a mention of it on page five of the CA-TNF-Bullards thread at wildlandfire.com. FCC search in the database here doesn't bring up anything, either, so maybe they were off by a little bit. I did hear the phrase "Air Attack 15" spoken on it once, but I'm not sure if it was referring to another freq or not.
