I must draw to your attention that Nillumbik Group is with immediate effect not using the default D14 Fire Ground Channel 63 anymore. They have decided that they do not get the required coverage with Channel 63 and therefore will be using Channel 45 as their default Fire Ground Channel.
From my point of view, this is not ideal as we now have had a uniform default Fire Ground Channel across all of D14 for some years but Nillumbik Group believes that this is not workable for their area.
So, you must be aware when turning out supporting a Nillumbik Group Brigade, that their default F/G Channel is 45. Especially the bordering brigades Plenty, Diamond Creek, Yarrambat, Doreen and Arthurs Creek must be aware of this change. Please ensure that all members of these brigades are aware of this
Just for the records, the new laminated Comms Plans placed in all the appliances reflect this change on the front page but the back page wrongly shows Channels 63/64.
