LFD training id's

[Bullmax]

Have they switched the training talkgroups around?

 

[Forts]

Can you elaborate a little more?

By the way, I was not home at the time to check which channel it was comming through on.

 

[Forts]

Ok... what talkgroups were you hearing the training exercises on? 418, 419 and 420 have been in use for a while. Were you hearing it on something other than those?

 

[Bullmax]

Unfortunately I was not home at the time to see which one it was. I was hoping someone else heard it and could confirm which one.

 

[Forts]

Oh oh oh ok.... I missed that the first time around. Were you listening via an online feed? Perhaps they had some talkgroups patched or something... who knows. Approx what time did you hear this yesterday?

 

[Muxlow]

I listened in a little.. 417 Hazmat was the training TG it seemed. Didnt see any patched TG's thou

 

[Forts]

ah ok thanks.... I was going to look back in my logs and see if there was anything new or unusual.

 

[Bullmax]

417 must be it then. What is the purpose of the Hazmat channel anyway?

 

[Forts]

I would assume it would be for the Hazmat techs to use if there were a large occurrence going on... that way they could have a channel to themselves while the rest of the fire ground chatter was elsewhere. Obviously doesn't get used much, so it seems to be more of a 'just in case' talkgroup than anything else. Just like the old conventional Hazmat channel.

Ok thanks guys for the info.
