Understanding How to Monitor the LMRFD with a Scanner

The LMRFD radio system is somewhat confusing for scanner listeners. It's made up of repeaters licensed to several different fire districts. 

On most first responder radio systems like DPS all repeaters in a district are on the same frequency. This prevents first responders from changing to the wrong frequency and losing contact with dispatch. 

The LMRFD system requires scanner listeners to change frequencies as they travel from Dolan Springs to Kingman or Meadview. 

Driving from Dolan Springs to Kingman you would start on 154.160 the Dolan Springs. As you pass Chloride you would switch to the Kingman fire frequency 155.055. If you're in the Meadview area you would switch to 155.265
