Forest fire in Bertie County

[peten1vak]

Has anyone heard any traffic related to the forest fires in Bertie County? I've checked all the forestry frequencies I hear nothing. Maybe I'm too far away I'm in Greenville?

The district 7 repeater has had some traffic, and they are using simplex tactical frequencies. Plus Viper District 7 talkgroup is used on occasion. 95% is all simplex and you are too far away. I am in Chowan County and don't hear much on the simplex frequencies except for the plane.
