might have been some problem contacting a VLAT - that was approx 815 am pdt - associated with 123.175 119.95 169.10 ?130.70? - also possibly they were transitioning to Helco East and Helco West at that time - heard via Broadcastify feed

that TFR photo does't look right. Try Skyvector.

Camarillo airport is helo base. Tower is 128.200. Haven't heard a specific helo fire base frequency.

It's directly from the FAA, it doesn't look any better than that...

Camarillo airport is helo base. Tower is 128.200. Haven't heard a specific helo fire base frequency.

Barton Heliport at Fox Field is what's in use for Saddle Ridge incident.

 

[iscanvnc2]

Listening to the helo on scene freqs I heard reference to returning to "Camarillo helo base" (the term was "base" not "port". Living in Ventura, I tuned in Camarillo tower to hear several helos from the fire land. I also heard tower tell an a/c that an area of the field was being used for fire operations.

Just relaying what I heard..
