• The CDF Air to Ground frequency, without CTCSS tones, will continue to be used as the primary Air to Ground frequency for CAL FIRE incidents.
• Once at scene, if aviation resources are unable to use the pre-assigned CDF Air to Ground Frequency due to a high volume of traffic from a separate incident, they may request a new Air to Ground Frequency.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
