I caught the tail end of the WAVY live report on the 6:30 news. Several exposures seem to be threatened.

I am able to get the occasional bit of info on my PSR500 with my RS 800 antenna. Hooked it to my 30 foot discone and zip, can't even capture the control channel. Guess I'll be checking antenna today.

Anyway, they are using aerial operations as well as hoses on adjacent roofs. Fire ops are on their TAC 2 (TGID 55888).
