The command channels are linked together. I'd try channel 55 or 56 down your way (freqs are stickied in this forum)

The spectacles fire command channel is ch31 and water bombers are working on channel 23.

If all else fails, you can try the internet stream.

Just heard they have an injured fire fighter, asking for SJA to set up a post.
Anyone have any photos from this fire?

It lives on the SES Comms Support Unit's OKA - They regularly turn out 'Lights and Sirens' during the fire season to set it up. You'll hear them call up on 6AR/6IP as "Quebec 38".

That's correct SES looks after it. Quebec denotes that it's a state call sign, and does not belong to a unit in particular. I'm surprise that it's Quebec 38 though, but the 3# means it's comms so anyone calling in "something 3#" then they're a comms person from there. Ahh well if it's Quebec 38 they use then so be it.
