Riverside City Fire/riverbottom

[sp1989]

Big ass fire in the riverbottom, most RFD freqs and RRU2 in use. Been going since about 1600 hrs or so, still not controlled, and reports of houses and palm trees in the area bursting into flame due to embers and Santa Ana winds.

Better control it soon. It's been almost 5 hours.

Riverside Fire is working F 4 at the river bottom- strike crews are on F 5. Updates are coming off F 1. Air 1 and Chief are on F10 giving air updates. News air units are on 123.45. These are City Frequencies I'm not listening to the county but they are on support 7.

may be a little late Police are on F 3.

Is F10 the mutual aid channel?

F10 appears to be a city general purpose freq. It's been used by PD, FD, Code Enforcement, and Parking Enforcement that I know of. I often hear RFD BC's going to F10 to discuss things when they don't want to tie up one of their three main channels (Command 1, 2, 3).
