Join the dedicated volunteers of the Burbank Fire Corps Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS) for their essential monthly radio communications net. This vital session serves as a cornerstone of our operational readiness, ensuring effective communication support for the Burbank Fire Department and the City of Burbank during emergencies or planned events.
The net provides a regular opportunity for all Fire Corps ACS members to:

Test personal and Go-Kit radio equipment functionality.
Practice standardized net check-in procedures and radio discipline.
Simulate passing tactical messages and handling formal traffic.
Receive important announcements regarding ACS team activities, training, and upcoming events.
Maintain proficiency in emergency communication protocols.

Participation is strongly encouraged for all active Burbank Fire Corps ACS members to ensure team cohesion and skill maintenance. Other licensed amateur radio operators with an interest in emergency communications or the Fire Corps program are welcome to listen and may check in when the Net Control Station invites guest check-ins. Your participation helps strengthen our community’s resilience.
