~~~ Question Notes Sent To Gene`s BMX:
Is there a Live Online Radio Scanner Feed Of The Fire?
The only live online Chelan County Scanner Feed that
we know of is hosted on www.golakechelan.com We do
do not know if it has the frequency`s for this working
fire as we can not get that scanner feed to work for us.
Maybe other people will have better luck trying it out.
