| − | | |
| − | 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 (2011) 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 from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) to separate fixed-wing and rotor-wing traffic or to prevent interference to operations in other areas.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some of the frequencies listed below were probably temporary incident specific frequencies 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.
| |

| − | == VHF FM Federal Frequencies ==
| |
| − | During large fires when resources from other states and federal agencies are brought in, [[National Incident Radio Support Cache]] Command, Tactical and Air Tactics channels may be used.
| |
| − | | |
| − | NIRSC Tactical and [http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Federal_Government_Itinerant Government Common] channels are often used by the federal wildland fire agencies as travel and talk channels.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Agency specific (USFS, FWS, NPS, etc.) frequencies may also be used as well as temporary incident specific frequencies ordered from the NIFC.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Air Tactics ===
| |
| − | It is not known if these frequences are statewide, regional or temporary assignments for specific incidents.
