I am confused as to weather fire department TAC channels can be broad casted. Our local county fire will dispatch the move the incident to one of the TAC channels. I don't want to violate any rules so I am asking.

Thanks for your time.

It sounds like the tac channels are being used for fireground / on scene operations so you would be allowed to broadcast those.

What had been known forever as Fireground [Fire] has become TAC aka Tactical in many Services, this should not be confused with what LE and some EMS consider TAC / Tactical, altho many are very very mis-labeled

Only Chans/talkgroups that are for only tactical/special ops/covert ops etc in Law Enforcement, or EMS to ER reporting/Physician Consults, or Fire Arson Investigations (Technically LE Tac) are on the do not broadcast listing. Fire Ground/Tactical is fine.
