I see the FAA has a TFR for near Harrisonburg/Elkton - 6/1602 NOTAM Details

Probably going to have firefighting aircraft and/or helos.

What frequencies/channels are being used for the fire comms?

I believe STARS talkgroup 6131 was being used yesterday for the missing person search. Sounded like a helicopter or plane was assisting in the search.

Although identity hasn't been officially confirmed, a woman's body was found at the park and the search is suspended. Sad.
