− | | |
− | 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."

− | == 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 or to separate fixed-wing and rotor-wing traffic. Some of the frequencies listed below were probably temporary assignments for specific incidents and may or may not be used again in the future.

− | === FAA TFR Info ===
| |
− | Clicking on ''Temporary Flight Restrictions'' under the ''Aviation'' section of the [http://ticc.tamu.edu/Home/GECop.htm TICC Common Operating Picture] Google Earth file shows FAA TFR areas.
| |
− | | |
− | Clicking on a TFR shows its information. TFRs requested for aerial firefighting usually have a contact frequency listed. This is usually the Air-to-Air zone primary or secondary frequency but sometimes new incident-specific frequencies are used which are not listed in the database. These are included in the table above when found.
