OC Trunked System

OC ^ system has no fire to listen to, ENC.

Everything you want is listed in the RR DB. USFS has maps of their lands. Check out CA State Parks. CA CDF x county around Orange County. LAPD another option. Too much to list as many agencies have wide area coverage.

In this forum, read posts past year or two as that should answer your questions.

Federal forum will definitely answer ALL your USFS questions.

I don't have time to list all agencies & frequencies. It sounds like you're interested in wild fire activity. Orange County is surrounded by the Angeles, San Bernardino, and Cleveland NF's.
Cal Fire operates in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Mountain top repeaters easily heard in OC. Also San Bernardino and Riverside County FD's.
Go back to RR database and program the frequencies listed for the above agencies, but just the repeaters.
There's also LA Co FD, but there's so much junk there that it's hard to pick out the good calls, and it will slow down your scan rate.
Have fun at the Magic Kingdom.

Depending on where you are staying in Anaheim you can get LACoFD, sometimes LAFD. All of Orange County Fire is encrypted. You can load the Solar plan, which is for LACoFD and OCFA on VHF. You can also scan Verdugo which is a lot of the cities in SoCal.
