And dont forget Battalion 4 and Battalion 4 on scene of the same fire (San Diego and La Mesa).

Heard traffic on 28464 (on north loop) today. Something involving a helicopter. Did not sound like public safety, but could be.

That list is extremely outdated. Zone-1 10-Deer Springs 11-North County FPD (Fallbrook units) 12-Vista FD and FPD 13-Escondido 14-San Marcos 15-North County FPD (Rainbow units) 18-De Luz VFD 20-San Onofre Nuclear 21-Oceanside 22-Carlsbad 23-Encinitas 24-Solana Beach 25-Del Mar 26-Rancho Santa Fe 27-...

I think the 43000 ones may be City of La Mesa (public works?), but I have not verified it myself.

Since the black/white issue is a vehicle code thing, I would assume not. But I am not familiar with FAA regulations.
Buy it and let us know if the color flies (pun intended).

Interesting. The RCS board minutes state it would be in service November 2006.

They are giving the exact frequency to go to for direct communications in the aircraft band radio (AM).

Pierce is what they want. KME is who won the big contract. The 50 engine contract did not incude Engine 47, so in that case they bought what they wanted. That is how I understand it.

For all you wannabe ABLE pilots...

The assignments for the first 8 KME engines are Engines 1,15,27,34,38,39,45, and 201. A new Pierce engine is on order for Engine 47 as well. 4 Pierce 105' rear mount aerials and 1 Crimson tiller on order. The tiller may be here already.
