concerning California fire radio channels - per
http://firescope.caloes.ca.gov/macs-docs/MACS-441-1.pdf
initial contact freq - for units arriving at an incident - usually
VFIRE 21 (154.28) for mutual aid units - also - UCALL40 + 7CALL50 +
8CALL90
---------------------------------
Therefore - California fire departments now have at least 4 different
types of radio channels
1. dispatch / primary
2. command
3. initial contact
4. tactical
plus specialty one off channels - guard - travel - civil defense
(153.755R) - civil defense fire (154.16R 154.22R)
no one uses a 'paging only' channel iirc - except maybe Riverside
County Fire - and Orange County Fire that has 900 mhz pagers
the 'initial contact channel' concept is also known as - call up
channel - mobilization channel - staging channel - in other parts of
the USA - maybe also - rally channel - approach channel (Oneida County
NY) - arrival channel (that should be an easy name to remember) -
instructions channel - get your orders channel
