If you’re local, they’re using just about every TAC channel in the VNC radio plan, including Air-Gnd and I’ve heard activity on CDF Air Tac 6.
Weather sucks, typical strong Santa Ana winds, RH is in the low 20s, average wind speed is 17mph now, with NE gusts 35-40 at my house to the ESE of the incident.
