radio communications needs for wildfires and structure fires priority 1 .... sharing real time intelligence on ... life safety issues ... rescues ... need for als and medevacs ... fire and smoke moving towards occupied areas ... need for evacuations ... etc
priority 1A ... coordinating all resources to meet priority 1 issues priority 2 .. saving high value locations priority 3 ... stopping forward progress of fire ================= if only 1 simplex radio channel is available ... then all radio comms have to take place on the one radio channel if a repeater channel is available ... then any comms that cannot be accomplished on a simplex channel can use the repeater channel if multiple radio channels are available ... the general scheme is ... commanders talk to commanders and dispatcher on the command channel ... firefighters talk to each other on other channels .... firefighters are typically grouped on division channels there are also emergency and air to ground channels .... might be smart NOT to use scan feature on any radios ... except maybe for the emergency channel ... yes that could be a good rule of thumb ... never use the scan feature unless it is used to scan the emergency channel ... the emergency channel can be 168.625 for any wildfire that has aircraft assigned ... and 153.83 or 154.28 for other fires ... or maybe 453.2125 or 851.0125 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
