[TheList] Listen to the South Canterbury fire in Christchurch.

Thu Sep 3 13:00:33 AEST 2020

This is all correct Brendan, I can confirm the Lavender Command at Pukaki
was transmitted on Timaru 1, Canterbury Rural channel.
Main city traffic is all on Timaru 2, the main region 4 VTG.
But on the main channel you will also hear comms callouts to Tasman and
Southland/Otago but very seldom do you hear the ground crews unless linked.

Good work mate
