LA County Fire question

[E5911]

With all the new frequencies in place, is the CAD assigning the commands and tacs in order of incident, meaning command 20 before 21 or is it more random or geographical? I assume command 10, 20, 30, and 40 are the busiest day to day
Also is there a preferred dispatch and command for brush fires ?
One more thing, one command per incident or is LA running multiple incidents on a command?

I've noticed they're assigning UHF commands in order 30, 31, 32 etc.
Exception: CMD 13 seems to be first up rather than CMD 10 in the Antelope Valley. Seems to be CMD 13, 10, 11, 12.

commands are as follows
Battalion 6,11,17,22 are command 10-13 (Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Area Dispatched on Dispatch 1
Battalion 7,8,9,14,18, 21 command 20-24 (south LA area) on Dispatch 2
Battalion 2,4,10, 12, 15, 19 command 30-37 (San Gabriel Valley and Foothills) on Dispatch 3
Battalion 1,3,5,13, and 20 command 40-46 (central LA area, East LA) Dispatch 4
Catalina & Marine C50-52 Dispatch 5
U60-69D are countywide assigned as needed
all paged out on U1 or called countywide dispatch
U2 is just countywide like the old blue 4

any questions i am glad to answer any

His question was about the ORDER they're assigned and confirming what they do with wildland fires on VHF.

1. Yes, CAD assigns them in order at time of dispatch. You'll see them on Pulsepoint as a phantom unit. ie: "COMMAND40"
2. Ground tacticals are pre-assigned geographically, deconflicting against other Battalions and licensing.
3. There is no preferred Command for brush. Depends where it is.
4. Yes, the Dispatcher at LACC can be monitoring/running 3-4 incidents at a time all on different Commands.

If anyone over at LACoFD would mind throwing the V channels into the CAD just like it is done with commands, that would be amazing
The amount of time I am not listening to dispatch and trying to find the brush channel they are using is crazy.

LACoFD has soooo many channels to keep track of the Capt here has to carry two APX8000s to do his job.
