Thanks for sharing that page shot. Do you work at 51’s on the Ortega?
No....The Sta 51 stems from the tv series EMERGENCY!
which was a spin off from Adam-12 and
they filmed both of them in my neighborhood growing up near Universal Studios (before the amusement part, even before the amphitheater)

Been in RIVCO since 96, now in Sobobas PRA
At least you can listen to county fire still

Adam 12 was previewed at my High School, before it went to air. Emergency first aired while I was in the USAF, and I always enjoyed the show. My Fire Career started as a Volunteer at RivCo Station 2.
Thanks again for helping to answer the question on Orange County Fire.

Stay Safe!

Yeah, KMA 367 is/was LAPD They would identify dispatch and TAC channels with that every 15 minutes back when they were on VHF in the 60's and 70's TAC 2 was KGW 725
You'll even catch a shot of an old Motorola radio identifying "KMA367" in some old DRAGNET shows as part of the show.
"One that comes to mind is when Joe Friday and Bill Gannon were on a stake out and the radio kept identifying as the night wore on lol.

More useless trivia......Kent McCord (Officer Jim Reed on Adam-12) first showed up on Dragnet as a rookie officer being interviewed by Jack Webb (Joe Friday) and breaks into one of his hard hitting rants about "being a cop" . So when Adam 12 came along Jack Webb wanted McCord for the series.
In another Adam 12 episode ENGINE 51 showed up and thus the show Emergency was crafted.
In my late teens early 20's we would see Adam 12, EMERGENCY!. and Rockford Files being filmed on location all over North Hollywood and Toluca Lake (Which is still North Hollywood lol) A little in Burbank too but not as much.
