Ongoing discussions regarding other fire dispatching in San Diego County including Heartland, NorthComm, Monte Vista, etc. Topics about general wildland fire scanning are also welcome here.
Does anyone know what frequencies these units use and who dispatches them? Although it's within the city limits of Carlsbad, it's a County airport and the Carlsbad FD web site doesn't mention having units there.
County owns the apparatus (Rescue 7 and Rescue 8), and I think Rural-Metro staffs them with private firefighters under contract to the County. As far as frequencies, when a call goes down I hear them come up for North Comm on their channels (North Comms) requesting and canceling units.
My dad works as a fire fighter there and its no longer rural metro that leases them its fire something i belive but im not sure on the new name so maybe you should go check that out. and the rescue 8 is an AMAZING fire truck.
