Channels to listen to in Northwest Vegas, ~7pm

[Koncord]

I got a Baofeng UV-5R just to listen in for emergency situations - but I'll be helping with a Boy Scouts type class on Monday night talking about emergency preparedness. I'll be giving a few minute overview of communication tools, radio will be mentioned - are there any good emergency/interesting channels to listen in on that the device is capable of? Obviously there's the 24/7 NOAA, but wondering if there's anything else young boys will find more "cool".

Thanks in advance!

With that radio you are pretty limited. It is a 2 meter, 440 Ham radio after all. Using it as a scanner is well, not ideal. It covers 136-174MHz, 400-480MHz RX, and in this city the only Fire and EMS stuff is CCFD rural channels a couple EMS, some BLM and NPS.
