National Interagency Fire Center
These are confirmed frequencies that were for wildland use in 2007/2008 season.
For the NIFC Freq there are only 7 actual COMMAND Channels, after those 7 are used up and there is a possibility of another fire interfering with another, they issue more command channels, 8-19 come out of the Federal Interoperability Frequency Pool, once assigned as a fire freq they will remain a fire freq for the remainder of the season.
If still more command channels are needed, They will issue 20-?? (However many are needed) these freqs come from "Borrowed" freqs from unused federal freqs from other agencies, such as Customs, VA, DEA, etc etc., again they will remain a fire freq through the end of the season at which time they are "returned" to the owning agency , (VA etc etc)
The same goes for Tactical channels there are only 7 actual tactical channel, then they do the same thing pull them from Fed interop pool or from unused fed freqs, same with air to ground.
