| National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) |
| The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho is the
nation’s support center for wildland firefighting. Seven
federal agencies call NIFC home and work together to coordinate and support
wildland fire and disaster operations. These agencies include the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife
Service, National Park Service, National Weather Service, and Office of Aircraft
Services. In addition to these Federal Government offices the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as well as the California Governors
Office of Emergency Services work closely with these agencies to fight wildland
fires. |
| Air Guard Frequency |
|
168.625 is the common air guard frequency and is always the last channel of
all NIRSC radios. This frequency is used for air-to-air initial contact,
emergency ground-to-air communications and initial call, recall and redirection. |
| National Flight Following |
|
168.650 is the national flight following frequency. In addition to flight
following, this frequency is used for general administration of air traffic but
is never used for ground-to-ground communications. |
| VHF-FM |
|
National VHF-FM air frequencies are located in group 2 of the NIRSC radios.
These frequencies have specific uses and the incident's dispatch center must
notify the Geographic Area Coordination Center (GACC) for clearance. This is to
avoid interference problems.

| VHF-AM (Victor) |
|
There are six national AM frequencies that are used for aviation only.
Additional frequencies may be used but these are common nation wide in all NIRSC
radios. Contrary to
popular belief and older frequency publications, Victor 7 135.975 MHz is no
longer included in the USFS radio plan. This frequency was pulled from the
radio channel plan several years ago due to interference with other fixed
aviation stations. While this frequency is not officially part of this plan
it may be worth monitoring in certain areas since it is a common heliport
frequency.

| Air Attack Radio |
|
Air Attack kits are used to
supplement communications in contracted fixed-wing aircraft for missions ranging
from reconnaissance to complex air attack. The kit can fit between the pilot and
co-pilot seats in some aircraft (i.e. Cessna) and slightly behind the front
seats in other aircraft. These kits crate an interface between the aircraft's
existing audio system/radio and the Air Attack radios. These kits have the
capability to operate two Technisonic Industries radios. Two radios can be
issued with these kits, a standard VHF-FM and a Project 25 digital radio.
For non-fire related incidents,
the VHF-VHF radios could be changed to give the kit a VHF-UHF capability. An
external UHF antenna would be necessary on the aircraft.
|
| Logistics |
|
Logistics radios are used for support personnel, e.g., Plans, Logistics,
Finance. The radios can operate independently or in conjunction with UHF
repeaters. The radios have a toggle switch on top. This is the talk-around
switch and, when activated, the radio frequency moves 5 MHz up in frequency on
all transmit channels, receive channels are not changed.
Logistic repeaters are a portable battery operated repeater designed for
mountainous terrain and/or extended area coverage.

How the US Forest Service uses UHF frequencies
By Peter S. |
|
You will probably find that the USFS uses the links primarily in 3 ways.
1. To link a local ranger station to a VHF transmitter on a nearby hill. Lets
say that Moose Droppings Ranger Station is located at the bottom of Moose
Droopings Hill, and lets say that the local units use 168.775 for their usual
comms. The USFS radio engineers will put a 168.775 base station on the top of
Moose Droppings Hill, and then they link it to the Moose Droopings Ranger
Station via 415.525 and 411.525. 411.525 might be used to shoot messages from
the Station to the top of the hill, and 415.525 might be used to shoot messages
from the top of the hill to the Ranger Station.
2. To link the Forest HQ / Dispatch Center to Forest Net repeaters that are
too far away. Lets say that Moose Droopings National Forest has their primary
Forest Net made up of repeaters that transmit out on 168.775 and receive on
168.00. Typically the Forest Dispatcher can access the repeaters all around the
Forest by transmitting on 168.00 from his base station (aka control station) at
the Forest HQ. But often a repeater will be too far from the HQ for the
dispatcher to reliably access the repeater. So in this case, the USFS radio
engineers will put a 168.00 radio transmitter on a hill above the HQ office.
They will use a UHF freq to get the message from the dispatch office up to the
top of the hill. In order for the Dispatch Office to be able to hear the distant
repeater, they will put a 168.775 receiver on the top of the nearby hill and use
a (different) UHF freq to shoot the message down from the hilltop to the
Dispatch Office.
3. Sometimes, at large fires, they will bring in portable / transportable UHF
repeaters to operate at the fire camp to carry logistical traffic. Sometimes
they even use these temporary UHF freqs to link temporary VHF repeaters back to
the fire camp. They can also use these UHF freqs to link temporary AM aviation
base stations to the fire camp.
For example - if Fire Camp Rambo is using 128.575 for helicopter ops but
coverage is not too great, they can order up a temporary portable 128.575 base
station, and a UHF link set. They then put the 128.575 base station on a nearby
hill or mountain, and link it back to fire camp via a UHF freq. These UHF freqs
might be at 413, 414, 415, 419, etc MHz. Maybe even down to 406 Mhz. (I am not
real sure on what freqs they use for these temporary links).
Bottom line - if you hear traffic on a VHF freq for the US Forest Service (or
any federal wildfire operation), you might want to check between 406 Mhz and 420
Mhz to see if you can find some associated link freqs.
Note 1 - CDF does not do this
Note 2 - sometimes VHF low band and VHF highband freqs are used as link freqs
instead of the UHF freqs
Note 3 - sometimes these links can involve "double hops" - from
fire camp to mountain 1 to mountain 2 to fire scene hill etc - actually that
would be a "triple hop" - I dont know if they get that fancy, but they
definitely have the capability and training to set up temporary double hops (or
they used to at least)

ANGELES
NATIONAL FOREST (ANF)
Angeles
National Forest News Releases
The Angeles National Forest was
established by Executive Order in December, 1892. It covers over 650,000 acres
and is the backyard playground to the huge metropolitan area of Los Angeles. The
Angeles National Forest manages the watersheds within its boundaries to provide
valuable water to southern California and to protect surrounding communities
from catastrophic floods.
The land within the Forest is as
diverse in appearance and terrain as it is in the opportunities it provides for
enjoyment. Elevations range from 1,200 to 10,064 feet. Much of the Forest is
covered with dense chaparral which changes to pine and fir-covered slopes as you
reach the majestic peaks of the higher elevations.
The USDA Forest Service, Angeles National Forest, revised its
radio communications system as of Spring 1999. The following frequency changes
are the result of the new international frequency agreement and will eliminate
the current forest radio frequency, 171.575 MHz. The Angeles National Forest Net
is the primary emergency channel for dispatch and fire ground
operations. The Angeles Administrative Net is the channel for standard
day-to-day communications.

The following tone guard frequencies are also required when transmitting on
direct and repeat channels. Tone number 8, at a frequency of 103.5 Hz, is
required for transmitting on direct channels (F1 and F3). Tone numbers 1-14 are
required for transmitting on repeat channels (F2 and F4), depending on the
location. The following list shows the revised repeater tone frequencies and

CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST (CNF)
Cleveland
National Forest News Releases
Cleveland National Forest had its basis in the 50,000 acre Trabuco Cañon
Forest Reserve (in the Santa Ana Mountains), created by President Harrison in
February 1893. In February 1897 President Cleveland created San Jacinto Forest
Reserve, a 700,000 acre area which included the desert lands southeast of
Palomar Mountain. In 1899, the Trabuco Reserve was more than doubled, in
response to a petition sent to the General Land Office by residents near Trabuco
Canyon.
In 1907 President Roosevelt made extensive additions to both the Trabuco
Canyon and San Jacinto Forest Reserves, to include Palomar and Laguna Mountains
and those farther south to the Mexican Border. A year later (1908) President
Roosevelt combined the two Reserves to form the new 1,904,826 acre Cleveland
National Forest.
During the next seventeen years there were several deletions to the
Cleveland. A major one in 1915 when 749,730 acres of non-forest value lands were
returned to public entry, and another in 1925 when the San Jacinto unit was
transferred to the San Bernardino National Forest. Today the Cleveland National
Forest consists of approximately 424,000 acres of forest land.

SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST (SQF)
Sequoia
National Forest News Releases
Under President Theodore Roosevelt, known
for his interest in conservation, the forest was created by Congress in 1908.
Its boundaries were placed along the Kings River to the north and the Kern River
to the south. The summit of the Sierra Nevada is its eastern boundary
adjoining Inyo county, while its western boundary extends to the brush-covered
foothills leading into the San Joaquin Valley. Often confused with Sequoia
and Kings Canyon National Parks, the Forest was specifically designated by the
federal government as separate land and resources. This was done to
provide multiple-use production of wood, water, forage, wildlife and recreation
commodities. Elevations range from 1,000 feet around the foothills, to peaks
over 12,000 feet in the rugged back country.
