Mountain and technical rescues are assigned to a K-deck talkgroup, specifically K10-K12.
I have heard exceptions. Tonopah and Harquahala Valley don't yet have reliable access to the RWC, so all calls are typically assigned to A-13. Eventually that should change as a new RWC IR site is going up by the Burnt Wells rest area in the Tonopah/Harquahala Valley area.
Daisy Mtn will be assigned to A-10 north of about Pioneer Rd along I-17 up through the Sunset Point rest area, even for EMS calls, as the RWC doesn't cover that far north.
A couple of weeks ago, I heard a 962 involving an RV assigned to a K-deck talkgroup, and Squad 44 suited up in turnouts and SCBA to deal with a leaking propane tank, an issue that would normally be assigned to an A-deck VHF channel.
