This weekend Air National Guard Firefighters are in town at the South Bend Regional Airport with other area fire departments doing ARFF training on simulators and aircrafts. I have the frequencies of the ANG units, but I'm not sure of the KSBN's fire frequencies. The only ones in the RR database are Law Tac/Ops. Anyone have an idea as to what they may be? I'd appreciate any help.

The South Bend airport has a fire tac channel listed in the StJoseph County database as
154.280000 (SBFD/MA KSBN). It's also possible that could be using some of the county/southbend fire tactical channels on 800, seeing that they're still on Vhf for fire.

Ill have to listen in on the county and the ksbn/mutual aid. I know those are for emergency landings and so on. But I'm wondering if the airport has their own dedicated fire tac channels. They only have crash units, the actual terminal is under south bend fires jurisdiction for medical/fire calls.

You might also try listening to the statewide mutual aid channels as well. If there are other fire agencies training too.
65296 mutual aid 1
65280 mutual aid 2
65264 mutual aid 3

Ill try vhf, especially since the ANG units are also vhf.

Maybe even the 8call/8tac 800MHz interop frequencies.

I do hear chatter on the 8call channels around here. Not sure as to who uses it. Its mostly out of Elkhart County. I think its usually on 8tac90.
