Boulder County Wildland, as paged

[N0GTG]

Now requesting Tanker 07 from Grand Junction to respond to BJC (Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport), fill up, and assist at the fire. This on USFS Flight Following 168.65; 163.1 also being used. The air tanker freqs listed on Denver Radio Scanner News dated 6-29 should be good to add to your scanner, too.

Radio Reference is a great resource. Just listening to Air Attack on 127.3250 and watching from a parking structure in Downtown Boulder during my lunch.

 

[scanlist]

Also add DTRS to the mix with Boulder County EOC on 9107.

Also Boulder Mountain Fire's Fireground 9111 for their operations and tactical coordination.

Been hearing this all day on the Gunbarrel site at work.

Should we expect a shift to the NIFC frequencies with this transition? I assume at least some additional radios are showing up which means yes.

Cause Confirmed

UPDATE: Boulder sheriff Joe Pelle confirms the Boulder wildfire was ignited around 10 a.m. yesterday after an automobile ran into a propane tank.

Yesturday there was somebody at a roadblock with a stuck mic like for hours and you could here him talking to the people tell them the road was closed but he was telling people a RV either hit a propane tank or rolled over on one. Learned alot about the fire from a stuck mic lol

Those bark beetles are a real problem all over it seems. My Bro visits Red Feather Lakes near Fort Collins and the same problem exists there.

Should we expect a shift to the NIFC frequencies with this transition?

At a minimum I would expect some new tac chs and a cmd channel on NIRSC frequencies. One reason for a regional or national IMT is to get your local resources back in service for day to day events and that includes radio frequencies. The local radio frequencies are often discussed at the inbriefing. Usually locals need all of their chs back except for interop chs. Boulder may be in a better position ch wise to leave a cmd ch on one of their reapeated chs. I'd be searching for quite a few new tac chs starting with today's first operational period (especially with as many Divisions as they seemed to be using yesterday).

I would hope that the T-2 COML and the T-1 COML have already been talking with each other and that there wouldn't be much of a change or no change in the 205 when the T-1 takes over. Ideally, the COMTs will stay the same and will already have installed and programmed what the T-1 COML is going to want. According to the roster, the COML is coming from California.

I have put together a bunch of resources at All Hazards: Colorado Wild Fire Resources for tracking the fire, including maps, links to the Inciweb site and of course a link to the RR live audio feeds. Let me know if there is something else I should add. It's kind of hard to find good wildfire resources - the NIFC is a bit obtuse I find
