seems the radio comms on the palisades fire initial attack was a total
disaster - search for "squirrel" channels in the report
mention of 1 repeater site down - but that might have been for PD - no
map of repeater site
background per zerg90
los Angeles city fd uses 800 mhz
los Angeles county fd uses uhf nd VHF
there are also 3 or 4 AM channels for helo to helo comms

there should have been no problem with comms - all channels were
available - surely they have fought fires in that area before
radio banks should be - palisades 1 - palisades 2 - palisades 3 -
palisades 4 - palisades 5 - they should have 5 batches of freqs to
handle 5 different fires in the palisades area
the city fd should presently have at least 8 repeater channels that
work well there
the county fd should have presently at lest 20 repeater channels that
work well there
the best repeater would be on the first helo to get over the scene -
but no one has repeater on helo
never mind - this is too complicated - lets make it very very simple -
the next 2 fire chiefs should be hams - that will solve all this BS
immediately
