Hello JR Room:
I am in Lancaster and not hearing all the traffic. But I did hear Fox Field have Air Attach Tankers come and go, on 123.75.
But try these frequencies, 170.0 172.8125 172.6125, and search around 166 to 173.9

Update: 173.625 FIRESCOPE Tertiary Crew is also in use.
From my location hearing these active frqs:
119.9750 Air to Air
135.9750 L.A. Co. Air Attack
164.1375 NIFC Tac 4
168.6000 NIFC Tac 3
168.6125 Ground units
167.95 Air to Ground Net might be where the heavy tankers are at.

Interesting to hear the "new" LA County FD Blue TACs being used...
453.67500 BLUE 13
453.72500 BLUE 14
453.67500 BLUE 13
453.72500 BLUE 14
A point of clarification, Tertiary Crew is a national assignment, not a FIRESCOPE assignment as FIRESCOPE is limited to California only. If you are not hearing it used for intra crew logistics then it is probably being used as a tactical. The best way to distinguish intra crew communications from tactical is that you will hear last and even first names on intra crew and you will hear normal resource designations on tactical (Engine 22, Water Tender 31, or the name of a crew such as Dalton, Bear Divide, etc.).
Note that 168.6125 is Secondary Intra Crew. All four of the new federal itinerant frequencies are designated for Intra Crew Communications but are not restricted to this use, in fact they may be used by any federal agency without restriction. The four replaced the former two, 163.100 and 168.350. My observation is that 168.6125 is used to replace 168.350, which was the most commonly assigned itinerant frequency in the radios of federal natural resource agencies.
Uplink, thanks for the live scanner feed link. I could not find it in my bookmarks and listened to it during the Day fire in 2006. I'm confined to a hospital bed for another 4 weeks, due to a hip fracture, and am a more than a captive audience for this online scanner and KTLA. I suppose it is what you would expect a retired firefighter to be doing while laid up.
I heard a channel being called "1U," I believe on a LA County fire frequency. It was supposed to be used as a tactical on the Sesnon incident. I would suppose that could be "Blue 1" but maybe they are distinguishing the VHF from the UHF tacticals by using the "U" with the channel number. I thought the two systems were distinguished using the words "Blue" (UHF) and "White" (VHF). If that is the case what is "1U?"

There is a UHF and VHF "TICP" for LA County....Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan.... Every fire engine in the County should have the UHF and VHF lineup by now..... Either that or they were talking about UTAC1....but I think that is a long shot.

Gov. Schwarzenegger Declares State of Emergency
Gov. Schwarzenegger Declares State of Emergency in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties Due to Wildfires
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties due to wildfires:
"As fires burn across California, I want to commend all of the firefighters who are bravely battling these aggressive flames and the first responders who are helping their communities and fellow neighbors. Winds are causing fire conditions to change by the hour, which is why it is so important that residents in the areas surrounding these wildfires heed warnings from public safety officials to evacuate. It's critical that everyone in the warning areas continue to be prepared-know what you're going to take and be ready to move very quickly if the evacuation order comes in your area. The state is coordinating with federal and local officials to ensure that firefighters have the resources they need, but with such a serious situation on our hands, we need residents to take every precaution to remain safe during this dangerous and difficult time."
The Governor's Office of Emergency Services has activated the State Operations Center at its Sacramento headquarters. For more information, including evacuation centers and wildfire statistics, go to www.oes.ca.gov <http://www.oes.ca.gov/> or www.calfire.ca.gov <http://www.calfire.ca.gov/>.
