I understand they're using 119.050 for A-A at the 24 Fire. Anyone have the A-G Freq?

Update #2

Primary Aviation Frequencies

Use TypeFrequency (MHz)Notes
Air-to-Air (Tactical)119.050Primary channel for helicopter and tanker coordination over the fire.
Air-to-Ground (A-G 43)167.1125Most likely A-G link for ground crews to talk to aircraft (PDC Primary).
Air-to-Ground (A-G 59)166.9125Often used as a secondary or "Sector" A-G channel in this region.
Pueblo Tanker Base124.425Coordination for retardant drops originating from Pueblo Memorial.
Air Attack (Lead)122.925Common "Victor" frequency for aerial supervision.

Supporting Frequencies

  • Butts Army Airfield (FCS): 125.500 (UHF 254.300). Since the fire is burning on Fort Carson land, you will hear coordination with base operations here.
  • National Flight Following: 168.650. Aircraft transitioning into the area or checking in with dispatch will often use this first.
  • Colorado State Mutual Aid: 154.280 (VFIRE21) is often used for initial attack and ground-to-ground coordination among the 25+ agencies

    Primary Reference Links

    • Official Incident Info (InciWeb): This is the "landing page" for the 24 Fire. It provides updates on size, containment, and general operations.
    • Frequency Source (RMGACC): The frequencies like 119.050 (Victor) and 167.1125 (A/G) come from the Rocky Mountain Area Frequency Cache, which is the master list for incident assignments in Colorado.
    • InciWeb: Check the "Maps" or "Announcements" section for the 24 Fire. They sometimes post the daily briefing map which has frequencies in the legend.
