It would take up too much space to list them all on this page. A lot of these TGs use informal communications (e.g. "Hey Bob!") and at the most refer to a "base" as dispatch (e.g. "Water Base"). Some of these TGs. have very brief communications and extreme bouts of inactivity. This is mainly due to the nature of their jobs not needing radio communications as much as public safety agencies, and the proliferation of cell phones for use by smaller city agencies.
