Looking for a handheld

[G70]

Hi, new to the site. Looks like an awsome reference.

I'm looking for a handheld that will do trunk tracking. Possibly military spec so it won't melt when firefighting. I have a 10 year old Bearcat right now that I use to listen to the paging frequency but would really like to start listening to the other channels when en route to the fire station.

Any help/links would be greatly appreciated.

Hey G70...here is the link to the page Capt. Clint is referring to:

I am not sure if any "scanners" are FireProof/resistant.
