| − | 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 most recent 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]. The latest frequencies are listed in the RR database (linked at top of this page). These may no longer be current.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At times when there are multiple aircraft working a large fire or multiple fires in the same area, alternate frequencies may be ordered to separate fixed-wing and rotor-wing traffic or to prevent interference to the operations in other areas. Some of the frequencies listed below were probably temporary assignments for specific incidents and may or may not be used again in the future.

| − | 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.
