Question about monitoring ham radio freqs for fire info

Bless those poor souls caught by any of the fires raging in California.

I’m headed to near Tahoe with my family next weekend and my wife is very nervous about the extreme fire conditions. I have a 2 meter in my truck and a yaesu ft60r ht (transmits on 2 meter & 70cm bands and receives 108-520Mhz & 700-999Mhz

Can anyone tell me if the following linked page would be useful for locating the appropriate frequencies for monitoring Cal Fire and any other relevant agencies for real time fire info? Or please tell me how to figure out how to do this.

How does one know which of these frequencies is local?

In other words, I want to be able to know what frequencies to monitor depending on my location.

I do know that I cannot tx on these frequencies.

 

First off if you are a licensed ham you should know these answers. But if you are new I understand. GOOGLE ! Just type in the name of the town and state and fire frequency and there it is. Or police frequency. If you like to monitor police and fire as well as any other licensed or non licensed FCC frequencies may I suggest the Uniden bc436hp scanner. By far the best out there as of now including the newer model Uniden now has. It receives digital frequencies as well. You just type in the zip code where you are and bingo it loads every local frequency. You can also buy the optional GPS antenna that plugs right into it. And as you travel it changes the frequency automatically to where you are.
