B for incidents inside the city limits of Sacramento.

C for overflow for both city and county and special events.

Tac channels are A6-A12 (B6-B12) and command channels are A2-A5 (B2-B5). On Command channels you'll hear responses from the scene back to a dispatcher. On Tac channels you'll hear traffic at the scene.

Download the app called pulse point. You can set it up to let you know when a confirmed structure fire or vegetation fire is dispatched. I use it to tell me everything that's going on. With fires. It a great tool for us Scanner guys.
