Anyone have Frequencies for the Elmo fire. I know they where using Red for one part and Maroon for the other. Anyone know the air frequencies by chance ?

Air attack should be on 132.15 am, listen for other frequencies given out by air attack.
National Flight Following on 168.65 nfm and 168.625 nfm air guard.
The air tankers are using Missoula and Helena, the 2 DC-10 air tankers were at Helena on Monday.

Had to look for these since this fire is on West side of Big Sky Country.
Air to Ground:
A/G 29 166.9 nfm
A/G 48 167.8875 nfm
A/G 52 168.3875 nfm
A/G 72 169.15 nfm
Also on Monday I saw some of the scoopers going into Kalispell (GPI) probably for fuel.
Let us know what you hear!

I’m going to try to get a feed up today for air attack and whatever else my remote equipment on big mountain can cover. Stay tuned
I know Ronan CSKT fire channel with ronan dispatch has been active. The Red channel was used the other day for the fire departments doing structure protection. And they also used Maroon. Lake county fire dispatch was somewhat active.

I’ve got fire attack up on 132.15 here from Big Mountain. My place is in the village but should get decent coverage:


I’ve also added Red, Maroon, and Lake County Fire to my BFCY Calls Node here below - not sure how much traffic it will catch due to the distance but we’ll see.

Tomorrow I might try to bring up DNRC and the National Flight Following. That should be doable by taking down some of the duplicate state trunked systems I’m feeding and just feed Big Mountain and dedicate the other SDRs to 168 MHz.

If you guys come up with any other freqs in use let me know. I suspect that the Big/Arm and Blacktail Trunked sites will be under threat in the next few days if the fire escalates north.

Yes 166.295 is Ronan CSKT simplex dispatch freq. I drove through Elmo this afternoon and i heard some chopper units and othes checking in.
