National Interagency Fire Center

[wbswetnam]

I'm hearing some radio traffic for National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) aircraft today. The NIFC supplies coordination of fire fighting resources between local agencies and federal ones. With summer coming soon, there are bound to be some large wildfires from time to time, so it might be useful to plug in the following frequencies in your scanner:

NIFC Flight Following / 168.6500 / Pl tone 110.9 Hz
NIFC Air Guard / 168.6250 / Pl tone 110.9 Hz
NIFC Hot Springs Dispatch / 169.6750 / 100.0 Hz

Also if you have a scanner bank for "SHTF" frequencies, the above are a must-have.
