Texas Forest Service database page
The 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."
Old 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.
- The current frequency list and zone map is TFS Air-to-Air Frequency Plan and Zone Map 03/23/2011
- At times when there are multiple aircraft working multiple fires in close proximity, the air attack planes may request alternate frequencies to prevent interference to the other operations. The alternate frequencies listed below were used in the past and may or may not be used again in the future.
- It is not known how these frequencies are chosen and assigned. TFS may have a list of available frequencies assigned to them by the FAA.
