On the LAFD website it lists it as Administration/Prevention. On Radio Reference it lists it as Alternate Control/Brush/ River Rescue. Which name is correct?

So Cal Frequency Directory 3rd Edition lists it as Admin/Fire Prevention/Support, sounds like they use it for whatever they want.

I would go with whatever RR states. Governments are notoriously bad at updating their websites regularly. Scanner hobbyists usually have better info.

Most likey just for support services during big incidents.

Coming from official info, fire prevention & inspectors use that channel, but in the case of a brush fire or river rescue incident, they get bumped off.

Ah, so it's one of those multi-purpose channels like Riverside County has Ops Net. That should be made clear as it was confusing me. One time RR said it was Admin/Prevention.
