I don't know much about LA. There doesn't appear to be any state forest service or US FS/NPS/FWS conventional frequencies in the LA database.
I don't know of they have any conventional VHF frequencies or if all state agencies are on LWIN.
If there are any federal or out of state resources they will probably be on VHF high band.
Check these frequencies:

Yesterday I heard one of the air tankers from here in TX get sent to LA. They were told to use air-to-air on 122.925 (AM) and air to ground on 167.375 (NFM). I don't know if those frequencies are used statewide or if they were ordered for one particular fire.
Check the FAA TFR page for TFRs for firefighting. They often list a contact frequency.

I believe they are using Local /State Interop 3 for water drops.
Been hearing fire spotter planes, quite active lately.

Watching the planes on adsbexchange.com right now. The tanker is flying out of Alexandria Intl and it is a DC-10 N603AX. It flew from alex intl to the area between Leesville and Oakdale where the spotter planes have been flying. I see a few different spotter planes that keep circling the area:
Two Rockwell Turbo Commanders - N95LF and N425DT
A US Forestry Svc Kingair N147Z
Then there is a LA Dept of Agriculture and Forestry Cessna 182 Turbo N232AF flying between Alexandria and Natchitoches.
Looks like the DC-10 made his drop and is returning to Alex Intl. He flew about 1500 feet the whole way.
Man, if I was out in a rural area on some little back road and I suddenly saw a DC-10 flying 1500 feet over me it would definitely elicit a dubya tee eff reaction if I didn't know what was going on.
Additional edit: Now I see an MD-87 and an Avro RJ-85 which are also tankers.

Look under Louisiana.
Some of the 2023 incidents have an IAP folder with IAPs that contain incident comm plans.

Sort of late but ground forestry guys are still using uhf. They should be moving to lwin soon but who knows. Their spotter planes supposedly have lwin.
