San Bernardino County Fire VHF

Seven analog VHF repeater pairs have been placed in service countywide at multiple locations (see freq list). The "BDC V1 through BDC V7" sites are normally kept patched into their corresponding geographic area's P25 command channel. The patched P25 talkgroups can be changed on a per incident basis to give mutual aid resources access to appropriate channels. The "BDC" VHF tac channels V15-V20 are primarily used on mutual aid vegetation fires where assisting agencies do not have 700/800mhz P25 radios. Those resources can respond with Comm Center via the VHF repeaters, then switch to a common VHF tactical when on scene.

800 MHz Conventional "Fill-In" Sites

Several conventional 800 MHz repeaters carry both Sheriff and Fire talkgroups. These are for filling trunked system coverage gaps in the deep desert and river areas. The county plans to replace all of these conventional sites when the P25 system is fully built-out.
The following table is a list of the 800 MHz fill-in site names, locations, and channel names used. Actual frequencies are listed in the RadioReference database. All sites were rebanded to the correct 800mhz frequencies in 2018. Channel names LAW-, FIR-, and GOV- ending with a letter are post re-banding.

Site Name Site Description Channels Used Talkgroup link Notes
Crossman Peak Near Lake Havasu LAW-C, FIR-C, GOV-C Fire: 3-CMD-9
Black Mountain Near Parker, AZ LAW-D, FIR-D, GOV-D Fire: 3-CMD-9
Afton Canyon Afton, CA FIR-A, LAW-A, GOV-A Fire: 3-CMD-6
Frost Peak Near Wrightwood, CA LAW-B, FIR-B, GOV-B Fire: 3-CMD-6
Ibex Pass County line No. of Baker, CA LAW-B Disp console only: "Dumont Dunes" Shared Law/Fire channel

Fire

Fire Dept. Locations

In 2017, SBCo consolidated operational area "zones".
Zone 1 = Valley area fire depts
Zone 2 = Mountain & Desert area depts
Zone 3 = County Fire
Zone 4 = USFS
Zone 5 = BLM
Zone 6 = CalFire
Zone 7 = State OES resources

Countywide Fire Station Numbering

Please note: Chiefs and Administrative staff callsigns use a separate numbering system. For example, Battalion 137 is not part of Ontario Fire Station 137.

The second field is the deputy descriptor or assignment. Certain descriptors are only used with specific divisions (e.g., "King" is only used with Aviation, thus 40-K). Each patrol station (not area) usually has one Captain and Lieutenant, and their designators do not have a third field (e.g., 6-C, not 6-C-1). Captains, Lieutenants, and Sergeants from stations in the patrol division that share multiple patrol areas normally take the county area designator as the first field of their unit designator (e.g., 6-S-5, not 16-S-5). "Xray" units may be motorcycle or regular patrol car units. The following table lists the descriptor or assignment.


[A] Descriptor/Assignment Field [01] Usage
A (Adam) Civilian station / field unit  
B (Baker) Reserve deputy  
C (Charlie) Captain  
D (David) Detective  
G (George) Gang enforcement deputy 61, some patrol division use
H (Henry) Homicide detective 60
I (Ida) Investigator 70
J (John) Station jail deputy  
K (King) Aircraft unit 40
L (Lincoln) Lieutenant  
Marine Boat patrol  
MET Multiple Enforcement Team deputy  
N (Nora) Narcotics enforcement deputy/officer 62
P (Paul) Beat patrol deputy / school resource officer  
R (Robert) Roving patrol deputy  
Rescue Search and rescue volunteer  
S (Sam) Sergeant  
V (Victor) Citizen Volunteer Patrol unit  
W (William) Special detail deputy  
X (Xray) Traffic deputy  
Z (Zebra) SWAT deputy 61, some patrol division use


The third field contains up to two digits. For "Paul" units, this field may be divided into two subfields, [2] and [3]. When [2] is a number from 1-4, [3] signifies the patrol beat number. The following table lists values for the subfield [2].


[2] Description
0 Resident post patrol deputy
1 Night shift
2 Days shift
3 Swing (afternoon) shift
4 Cover shift
5 School resource officer
6 Watch commander who is not a sergeant
7 Outside agency


Examples:

4-P-05 ("Four-Paul-Five") is a Yucaipa County resident post deputy for the Forest Falls, Angelus Oaks, and Barton Flats areas.

8-P-08 ("Eight-Paul-Eight") is a Baker resident post deputy.

1-P-22 ("One-Paul-Twenty-Two") is a Central beat patrol unit working Beat 2 for the days shift.

70-I-7 ("Seventy-Ida-Seven") is a Coroner's Investigator.
