For those interested, there is a new frequency plan for Thomas Fire firefighting operations. See attached. Thanks to Ben, AI6YR for this information.
The first page is for AIR OPERATIONS, which is now split between Ventura and Santa Barbara.
Air Attack operations ordering is now on 154.415
Air/Gound is 154.405 – this is the comms between ground units and ai.
Page 2 is the *VENTURA* zone only – does not include SB.
Page 3 is the *SANTA BARBARA* zone.
Command is on 167.100, 169.5375, 170.6875, 163.1500, and 167.1500 – all linked repeaters
Tactical channels (need to look at division map, but each one is in a different part of SB/Montecito/Carp) below. You can hear the firefighters talking to one another on very specific streets and what piece of the fire they are working on.
Air to Ground is 159.4050 and 159.225 – air support (will hear, for example “please air drop on XYZ street”)
