In what situation is the use of 800mhz on vegetation fire approved?

The use of 800 MHz on vegetation fires is approved in non-tactical situations primarily to ensure effective communication without interfering with operational tactics during active fire suppression. In non-tactical contexts, coordinators and personnel can manage logistical aspects, such as resource allocation or administrative communication, without compromising the immediate tactical communication systems used by firefighting crews on the ground.

Tactical situations typically require dedicated radio frequencies to maintain clear, uninterrupted communication among the firefighting teams actively engaged in combating the fire. Emergency operations might also necessitate different frequency use to prioritize urgent response and safety communication. Training exercises often focus on simulating real operational conditions, which may also require specific channels to replicate true-to-life tactical communication scenarios. Hence, the appropriate use of 800 MHz in non-tactical situations helps maintain operational integrity while ensuring coordination from a distance.
