Flight For Life communications

[InspireWaukesha87]

Well it appears Flight For Life still doesn’t have access to OASIS, I have heard them on WISCOM Talkgroup 8001, the few events they had in Waukesha County this past weekend they used 8TAC White 851.950 PL: 156.7 to communicate for landing zone coordination, I guess time will tell if they use OASIS

Don't see why they can't. I mean how long does it take?

They moved to OASIS Yesterday. 58942 on Milwaukee County & Waukesha County.

Thanks. That's good info.

I hope it wasn't just a patch test on Milwaukee County.

Official notice went out today:

Effective immediately, Flight for Life has completed their migration to OASIS, and is now able to communicate with Waukesha and Milwaukee County field units natively on the P25 system. This includes OAAIRMED1 and OAAIRMED2.

Thanks for the info

For the agency I work for, I was just informed that FFL uses 8Tac White for LZ coordination, like mentioned above. The way I interpreted the email was that this will continue; the OAAIRMED channels may be for dispatch or other tasks, but I'm just speculating based on my interpretation .

For Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties, FFL uses several OASIS talkgroups depending on the preferences of the municipality, e.g., FFL COMMS - 33328; WKFLTCOM - 58942; OAAIRMD1 -1365; OAAIRMD2 -1367. FFL has also been known to use OAIFERN1 - 2059 and OAIFERN2 -1371. FFL can use any of the following Simplex Frequencies for LZ coordination in Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties:
8-TAC Red 851.450000, 8-TAC White 851.950000, 8-TAC Blue 852.450000, 8-TAC Black 853.450000, 8-TAC Grey 853.950000. FFL communicates with Milw. County Med. Cmplx on OASIS talkgroups MCEMSCOM - 2023 and MCMDTAC8 - 2021. FFL may use the following talkgroups on WISCOM: FFLCOM - 8001; HSEMS1 - 4951; HSEMS2 - 4952; HSEMS3 - 4953; HSEMS4 - 4954. For counties outside of Waukesha and Milwaukee, FFL may use the WISCOM talkgroups, but most likely uses the VHF simplex frequencies for LZ comms with local FDs: Fireground Red 153.830000; Fireground White 153.280000; Fireground Blue 154.295000;
Fireground Gold 153.837500; Fireground Black 154.272500; Fireground Grey 154.287500; IFERN 1 - 154.265000;
IFERN 2 - 154.302500; MARC 1 & 2 -151.280000; MARC 3 - 154.010000; MARC 4 -154.130000. Enjoy monitoring!
