OC Trunked System
OC ^ system has no fire to listen to, ENC.
Everything you want is listed in the RR DB. USFS has maps of their lands. Check out CA State Parks. CA CDF x county around Orange County. LAPD another option. Too much to list as many agencies have wide area coverage.
In this forum, read posts past year or two as that should answer your questions.
Federal forum will definitely answer ALL your USFS questions.

I don't have time to list all agencies & frequencies. It sounds like you're interested in wild fire activity. Orange County is surrounded by the Angeles, San Bernardino, and Cleveland NF's.
Cal Fire operates in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Mountain top repeaters easily heard in OC. Also San Bernardino and Riverside County FD's.
Go back to RR database and program the frequencies listed for the above agencies, but just the repeaters.
There's also LA Co FD, but there's so much junk there that it's hard to pick out the good calls, and it will slow down your scan rate.
Have fun at the Magic Kingdom.

Depending on where you are staying in Anaheim you can get LACoFD, sometimes LAFD. All of Orange County Fire is encrypted. You can load the Solar plan, which is for LACoFD and OCFA on VHF. You can also scan Verdugo which is a lot of the cities in SoCal.
This is a bit late, but since you have a couple more days here… your best bet is Broadcastify. OC Fire Authority broadcasts many of its dispatch/response channels online. Anaheim specifically is part of Metro Net, and their dispatch / response channels are also streamed online. Anaheim and OCFA are also on PulsePoint. The only thing you can’t get right now is structure fires in Anaheim. They are testing a new plan where structures utilize two channels (2C for tactical and 2O for command), and neither channel is currently streamed. There is a plan to fix that in the future.

There were changes to the chiefs of the OC fire department before the P25 system went into service who decided to go unencrypted, but the cost at the time would be too much and them putting the feed on Broadcastify was the easiest thing they could do.

That is part of the SOLAR radio plan that is used for OC/LACoFD/CDF for brush incidents.
SOLAR in this case stands for San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles and Riverside. This particular area gets activity that can, at times, affect many of these jurisdictions due to the boundaries of each and fires that cross these jurisdictional lines.
SBcFD has the following in the SOLAR band-plan: CDF C1-3, FIRE OC, OC ACCESS, LAC V-1 and 2, RRU 2, VFIRE 22-26, LAC A/G, CDF A/G 1, 3, and AIRGUARD
Don't forget about the new "FIRE OC" air-ground.

Well I guess we get to see on the SOLAR band plan today 😬
