Fire Department comms - Riverside ?

[billpritjr]

Hello

What Fire Department talkgroups/systems would someone recommend to monitor for Riverside, California, specifically the area of the Riverside convention center/downtown Riverside.

It appears police comms are all trunked and encrypted, but Fire Department on Radio Reference is shown as 150 MHZ. Just wanted to ask the forum. Thank you

Radical suggestion - check the database.
Riverside City Fire is analog and not trunked (no talk groups). Main frequencies are in the 460MHz range.
The 150MHz frequencies are CalFire in the non-incorporated areas of the county.
Yes, police and sheriff are encrypted.

riverside city fire has low volume, so hearing can be hard...

I monitor ( only thing to listen to ) Riverside city fire everyday at work. I can confirm primary f-1 to tac 7.
I would add fire F 10 - the Riverside airport calls the fire dispatch on this channel and all incoming units on
any incidents near the airport - ALERT 3 is the most common call. This is when an incoming air craft is having
some sort of issue. 453.925 pl 123.0
I would also suggest AMR dispatch analog the vhf channel is scrambled 452.6875 pl 103.5

Update

Just returned after being in Riverside for a few days. Fire comms very active, indeed volume is low. Nice to see radio traffic on a non-trunking system, kind of "old school" like they all used to be.
