[Scan-DC] "Firebuffs" frequency -- 452.975 MHz?

[Andrew Clegg]

Today I was playing around with my Home Patrol and had it scan the local 
media frequencies. It stopped on a channel with a bank name of "Firebuffs," 
and a channel name of "Citywide Radio Ch. 1 Primary," which had some guy 
reporting a fire somewhere (I did not catch it, and it was not repeated). It 
was not a dispatch, but sounded literally like a fire buff reporting a 
working fire. The channel is a conventional analog channel with a frequency 
of 452.975 MHz. There is also a citywide secondary channel for Firebuffs 
programmed into the HP, but it's the same frequency as the primary, so I 
don't know why it's in there (maybe a different tone?).

Anybody have any more info about this frequency and/or any information about 
who the "Firebuffs" are?

Happy New Year.

Cheers,
Andy
