I have noticed recently there is a lot of references to Cal Fire on the CHP website for incidents east/north east of Barstow. For example, a TC at I-40/A-Street shows CHP called Cal Fire for a response, but I thought that CommCenter handled all of the incidents in this area. Also, there is a TC on the screen right now at I-40 MM116 (way east toward Needles), that also references Cal Fire, but I didn't know CalFire had stations out there... I thought it was SBCoFD dispatched by CommCenter. Is it just a dispatcher typing in the wrong thing? Is CalFire the contracted agency for SBCo? I looked at the CalFire San Bernardino page on the internet( CAL FIRE Contacts ), but don't see any fire stations in that area, so I am confused. Hopefully someone who knows more can inform me. Should I be listening to CalFire freqs in that area, or just the CommCenter TRS/Conventional to pick up the FD/EMS traffic for the area?
Thanks in advance.
