#REDIRECT [[Texas A and M Forest Service (TX)]]
 
 
 
 
The [http://txforestservice.tamu.edu Texas Forest Service] was created in 1915, as a service within Texas A&M University, that will "assume direction of all forest interests and all matters pertaining to forestry within the jurisdiction of the state."
 
 
 
== Miscellaneous ==
 
* A Lubbock County repeater [http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?cs=WQEW632 155.805] PL 127.3 is being used for TFS regional dispatch in Lubbock.
 
 
 
 
 
== VHF AM Air-to-Air Frequencies ==
 
* TFS changes their AM aircraft band air-to-air frequency plan periodically. The frequencies from old air-to-air zone maps are listed below. They may or may not be used again in the future.
 
* The current frequency list and zone map is [http://ticc.tamu.edu/Documents/OhterInfo/Aviation/UpdatedAppendices1/APPENDIX_E_TX_Air_to_Air_Freqs_1.pdf TFS Air-to-Air Frequency Plan and Zone Map 03/23/2011]. Current frequencies are in the RR database (linked at top of this page).
 
* At times when there are multiple aircraft working multiple fires in close proximity, alternate frequencies may be ordered to prevent interference to the other operations. The alternate frequencies listed below were probably temporary assignments for specific incidents and may or may not be used again in the future.

** Clicking on ''Temporary Flight Restrictions'' under the ''Aviation'' section shows FAA TFR areas. Clicking on a TFR shows its information.  TFRs requested for aerial firefighting usually have a contact frequency listed. This is ususally the Air-to-Air Primary frequency at that fire. See the [http://tfr.faa.gov FAA TFR] page if you do not have Google Earth. The TFR type for fires is ''HAZARDS''.
