LAC FD acronyms and abbreviations help

[TowerPower]

Greeting LA County radio heads,

I’m stationed here now for a few months and want to listen to local fire traffic. I’m not really interested in forestry communications or administrative and found that I was hearing a lot of that in the Los Angeles County Fire TAC’s database therefore I embarked on defining all the acronyms and abbreviations. I’ve figured most out but need some help on others and cannot locate anything in search engines or the forums. For instance BDU is usually a bomb disposal unit but i second guessed that one because it's rarely associated with a fire department.

Any help on the blank ones or corrections on what I have is greatly appreciated appreciated.

ANF Allegheny National Forrest
BDU
BDC
BLM Bureau of Land Management
CDF California Department of Forestry
LAAFCA Los Angeles Area Fire Chiefs Assn
LAC LA County
LG
NF National Forrest
NIFC National Interagency Fire Center
OES Office of Emergency Services
SBC San Bernardino County
SBCo San Bernardino County
SBDO San Bernardino
VNC Ventura County

LG = Lifeguards maybe?

ANF is Angeles National Forest, not Allegheny

This link has most abbreviations (from FIRESCOPE FOG manual).... hopefully it helps.

BTW: BDU is CDF San Bernardino

Three letter acronyms for

BDU- Cal Fire San Bernadino Unit
BDC- San Bernadino County Fire

I think SBC is Santa Barbara County Fire
