[edit] Radio Comms

Ref the list of equipment in medium-lift and light-lift, medium has VHF-FM on 118-136MHz and light has VHF-AM on 118-136MHz - it is normal to work AM on these frequencies but I didnt want to change the entry in medium-lift before checking - comments?

Good catch - my error, I blame it on the scanner that I used! I fixed it! - Ahunt (talk) 05:39, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proper Terms

Ahunt I made the changes I did because I work in fire, I have worked with the crew in that picture that i change the name on, they are Santa Barbara County Crew 1 if u look close they have C-1 on their helmets, and smoke jumpers jump from planes with parachutes, rappellers rappel from helicopters.
