My bad didn't notice!

I wonder what will happen to the Santa Clara Command Net (151.1225 MHz), which is licensed to SSCCFD.

I bet this will take at least two years before the county can take over the area.

It'll eliminate an island and streamline things in the south county.

South county fire has long been a good group of people - I wonder what'll happen with the company members.

I would not be surprised if the county does not off some of them the opportunity to lateral from CalFire to the county. I do not know how many stations they will pick up. I do t think Santa Clara County is a contract county for SRA land so CalFire might keep some stations in the area too, like the one on 152 east of Casa De Fruita.

That station (Pacheco) is already a CAL FIRE-only station. SSCCFD only has 3 stations:

Station 1 - Morgan Hill (shared with CAL FIRE)
Station 2 - Masten
Station 3 - Gilroy Gardens

I would imagine these 3 stations will transition from SSCCFD (staffed by CAL FIRE) to Santa Clara County Fire, and CAL FIRE will keep all of their existing (non-SSCCFD) stations.

How many B stations do they have in the unit?

I think they have 12 in the unit, and 8 in Santa Clara County.
