Sounds like it's going to be a big day for those in the RFS. Will have the scanner at work tomorrow to listen in.

The main fire that will probably dominate what will happen in the Sydney Northwest and Central Coast for the next week or so is the Gosper Mountain fire.
You cannot listen to the fire front crews on the GRN, only via the 420Mhz PMR allocation for the Hawkesbury RFS Area

Common NAC of 217 for NSWRFS Region East 008:

420.2000 - Hawkesbury Group - Tx Kurrajong Heights
422.0625 - Hawkesbury Group - Tx Bucketty
424.0250 - Hawkesbury Group - Tx Wisemans Ferry
424.1000 - Hawkesbury Group - Tx Grassy Hill North Colo
