I Live In WPa And Venture Down To Maryland At Times Taking My G5 And SDS 100. What Are The Common Fire Ops Channels Used In Garrett, Agy, Wsh, Mtgy, Fred, PG, Carroll, Howard, AA, Balto County & Balto City. I Would Like To Just Program Those Instead Of The Numerous Others That Are Rairly Used. Thanks For Your Time Folks Happy Safe Weekend

Those are the main ones that are used. Hope this helps
Feel free to ask any questions as well
Frederick:
I am not as familiar with but here are the ones I have programmed in.
9A - TG5440 - Main Dispatch ( VHF = 153.845 )
9B - TG5441 - EMS Ops
9C - TG5442 - Minor Incidents
9D - TG5443 - Major Incidents

Some other stuff you might be interested in:
if you are going to be listening to the communications while driving I would recommend programming in...

Washington County Maryland System --
TG13463 - Fire/EMS Dispatch
TG13466 - Fire Tac 1 Ops
TG13479 - Fire Public Safety 1
These are the most active ones from my monitoring

Keep in mind that working fires will almost always be assigned an Incident tg in the systems that use the Incident talkgroup structure. Each Incident group has several associated tgs. Most of the time, all operations use the main tg, e.g Incident 20, but if a staging or water supply officer is designated, they may use their own tg that is related, e.g. Incident 21, Incident 22, etc. The Announce 20 tg would be heard on all Incident 2x tgs. Incident tgs can be assigned on a first come, first served basis, or they may be assigned on a battalion or regional basis - depends on the jurisdiction. Ops tgs are typically used for local alarms, minor traffic accidents, etc., and can be regionalized. Many Maryland counties use the Incident tg structure in some form, but may not use the Incident labels.
Specific notes:
AACo is divided into 2 regions (North / South) and they tend to use every tg in Zone 1. It's a very busy system, so I would program them all (except maybe 1N, which is the administration tg.) Also, the G5 doesn't do SmartZone.

Prince George’s
(this is a very busy system, btw...)
1133 - 8A1 = MAIN DISPATCH
1135 - 8A2 = OPS1 (mostly medic calls)
1037 - 8A3 = Used as main FG channel
1115 - 8B7 = Medic1 to Hospitals
1117 - 8B8 = Medic2 to Hospitals
8A1/B1/C1/D1 Fire Dispatch are all the same talkgroup
8A2/8B2/8C2 Ops 1 are all the same talkgroup
8A3/8B3/8C3 FG are all the same talkgroup
8B7, 8B8 are not
PS - if you are close enough with a SDS to pick up Montgomery and PG - you’ll definitely be able to get DCFD fairly well😁
