: Somesort event on Mt. Rainer - possible volcanic activity. News says 7 fire districts responding, Pierce County dive team and other uunits as well. Also sirens are going off.
Pierce Co. Fire District 23 (Ashford/Elbe) is dispatched and operates on F1, 153.890. Downstream, PCFD #17 (Roy) is dispatched on F1, but operates on F3, 154.160. They were both on the radio constantly last night on their respective frequencies. You could hear the District 23 mobile radios, probably because they're up so high. The transmitter for Firecom must be way up on a mountain somewhere, because 153.890 blasts all over the place, usually you can easily hear it up in the north end of King County.
Sheriffs were on 154.950 and 155.610.
