Common/Shared Frequencies

KAB221, WRY254, WRCU611

These frequencies are licensed by Jefferson County for common/shared use among all agencies. The VHF frequencies are primarily used in the mountain areas for coordination and mutual aid responses. Other NIFOG frequencies, particularly those in the VHF High Band, may be assigned on complex incidents. Please see Common Public Safety#VHF High Band for more information. Contrary to national standards, Jeffcom's base stations do not transmit PL (CTCSS) tones on the NIFOG frequencies shown below, so it is recommended that radios be programmed for CSQ receive operation on those frequencies.

Station Alerting & Paging Tones

The following tables contain tone data for use in scanners which have a Fire Tone Out standby/paging option, or they can be used in any other radio or receiver capable of decoding and unmuting upon receipt of a two-tone sequential page (such as a Motorola Minitor or a Unication G series pager). For more information on the use of these tones, and for information on consumer equipment which can support such use, please see Fire Tone Out.

The following agencies dispatched by Jeffcom rely upon analog tone paging for station and personnel alerting:

Mountain Fire Dispatch

Jeffcom's Mountain Fire Dispatch group consists of the following agencies:

• #Elk Creek Fire Rescue
• #Evergreen Fire Rescue
• #Foothills Fire Rescue
• #Genesee Fire Rescue
• #Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District
• #Indian Hills Fire Rescue
• #Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District
• #North Fork Volunteer Fire Department

Most of these departments maintain their own radio systems which are specific to their response areas and needs. The majority are analog conventional VHF systems, however the I-70 corridor agencies (Foothills Fire, Genesee Fire, and Highland Rescue EMS) are dispatched on DTRS TG 1481 and operate primarily on the state DTRS.

On large or complex incidents, or during the initial attack phase of a wildland fire, the VHF pool of #Common/Shared Frequencies is often used.

Station Alerting/Paging Frequency

This frequency functions in a similar manner to the old "FIRE-1" frequency on lo-band. All mountain calls are initially dispatched on this frequency and also simulcast on the responding agency's main channel. Responding units go en-route on their own agency's primary channel after receiving the page/alert.

Frequency	Tone	Description	Notes
157.450	103.5 PL	Jeffcom "Mountain Dispatch" Station Alerting & Paging	All mountain calls are initially paged and dispatched on this frequency.

U.S. Forest Service

The U.S. Forest Service is responsible for fire prevention, detection, and suppression on several National Forests in and around Jefferson County. They respond to smoke reports, fires, and other incidents occurring on forest land, often concurrently with other local agencies, and provide initial and extended attack resources both on and off forest lands.

Dispatching and resource tracking is provided for by the Forest Service's own national network of Interagency Dispatch Centers. These Dispatch Centers usually provide services for several forests across a given region or state and often for other federal cooperator agencies (such as the BLM). Each individual forest maintains its own communications network which can be accessed by the Interagency Dispatch Center that serves their area. These radio networks are usually designed around a single pair of VHF frequencies, which are used forest-wide. Forest Service protocol favors the use of direct/simplex frequencies whenever possible, however most (if not all) forests have a backbone of repeaters to help facilitate communications where simplex would be ineffective. Forest-wide repeater nets generally use the same RX/TX pair across the whole forest, differentiating between the individual repeaters by using sub-audible CTCSS ("PL" or "CG") tones to "dial" into the repeaters on the TX side. The RX frequency and tone remain the same across the whole net, allowing personnel to monitor traffic from multiple sites across the forest. (Note: It is recommended to place your scanner or radio in CTCSS search mode or CSQ, as tones on the Bendix King radios used by most forests can be changed on the fly from the front panel by forest personnel).

Pueblo Interagency Dispatch Center

Federal Dispatch Boundary Maps for Colorado

The Pueblo Interagency Dispatch Center is responsible for providing dispatch and resource tracking for southeastern Colorado and the San Luis Valley and for all of Kansas. Forests within the district's boundaries include the Pike and San Isabel National Forests and the Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands. Pueblo Dispatch (identified on-air as "Pueblo"), is staffed from 0800-1800 during the fire season and 0800-1630 during the off-season (October through April). Forest service personnel and fire suppression crews/resources are generally available for dispatch from 0900-1730 during the fire season, however local variances may exist, and fire weather conditions can dictate a change in staffing levels and hours throughout the season. During the fire season (from roughly May to September), daily fire management briefings are usually broadcast over the radio network between 1000 and 1030 in the mornings and afternoon fire weather forecast discussions are usually broadcast at 1600 or 1630.

Pike National Forest

The Pike National Forest encompasses approximately 1.2 million acres spread across Park, Jefferson, Douglas, Teller, and El Paso Counties in central Colorado. Because of its close proximity to both Denver and Colorado Springs, the Pike National Forest is one of the busiest forests in the region, boasting an annual visitation average of nearly 2.5 million people. The South Platte Ranger District is responsible for 450,000 acres of the Pike National Forest, covering the entirety of southern Jefferson County, western Park County, and western Douglas County. The South Platte Ranger District is served by work centers located at the AG Ranch, Buffalo Creek, and Indian Creek. Two other Ranger Districts manage the forest, Pikes Peak to the south, covering the portions of the forest in Teller and El Paso Counties, and the South Park Ranger District, covering the remaining portions of the forest which ring Park County. The Pike National Forest is managed jointly with the San Isabel National Forest and the Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands. Unlike the unified Arapahoe-Roosevelt, Pawnee radio system to the north, geographic disparities keep the operations of the PSICC radio systems separate, with each management unit operating their own net.

Arapaho National Forest

The Arapaho National Forest comprises 723,744 acres spread primarily across Clear Creek, Gilpin, Grand, and Summit Counties. A small portion of the forest, the Maxwell Falls Recreation Area, intrudes into Jefferson County just south of Evergreen. This portion of the forest is managed by the Clear Creek Ranger District, which operates primarily on the South Net of the combined Arapahoe-Roosevelt, Pawnee (ARP) radio network. This radio network is a product of the combined management of the Arapaho National Forest, the Roosevelt National Forest (in Boulder and Larimer Counties), and the Pawnee National Grasslands (in Weld County). Previously, the radio networks for these forests were divided into two separate systems: the Roosevelt Net (which also served Pawnee) and the Arapaho Net. In 2016, additional improvements to these networks resulted in their consolidation into a single network divided into three geographical areas: North, for Roosevelt and Pawnee operations, South, for Arapaho operations on the Clear Creek Ranger District, and West, for Arapaho operations on the Sulphur Ranger District.
