more info on the palisades fire
4.3.2.1.4.3 Aircraft: Palisades On January 7, 2025, LFD staffed and readied four (4) of their five (5) Type 2 helicopters. All four (4) were dispatched to Sunset 1 Fire. While en route to Sunset 1, Fire 4 (HLCO) diverted Fire 2 to the Palisades Fire to perform reconnaissance and assist in suppression efforts. LFD Fire 4, Fire 1, and Fire 3 completed the mission at Sunset 1 and were redirected to the Palisades Fire. from the after action report Fire 2 - looking at you - where did you drop your water? did any helos drop on the Sunset 1 Fire? maybe they did because a helispot was already in use before county e70 picked their helispot =================================== recap of times 1009 - sunset 1 fire reported (right on border between la city fd and la county fd and maybe beverly hills fd) 1030 - palisades fire reported 1039 - la county sent units to palisades fire 1044 - comm plan assigned 1048 - lf69 at scene =========================== page 103 of 351 - photo from 1033 am of fire starting on ridge top - sure looks like 1 good drop from a helo could have killed that fire - it was obviously going well and had a strong wind behind it as maxwell smart might have said - "missed it by that much" - oh well - such is life - sometimes close calls have huge consequences - look at Tenrife - 1 double on the radio channel and 600 died
info about SAMU in Brazil
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serviço_de_Atendimento_Móvel_de_Urgência no mention of FD ambulances - lol lol lol samu covers 75% of citys - apparently the other 25% is SOL - and the rural areas people just lay down and die if they get sick or hurt its possible that the FD has the 25% part well covered - but we doubt it - its probably like 50% of citys has superfluous coverage and 25% has zero coverage - ( unless you think that 30 minute response times is just fine ) and you can bet that any reporter that mentions response times in Brazil gets killed - otherwise this silliness would not be going on unless the fire and samu dispatchers can both see the exact locations of each others ambulances - which we wouldnt put past them - its probably only $10 per month per unit via TEMU
Navy secretary ousted as $240M drone lost amid Iran tensions
Navy secretary ousted as $240M drone lost amid Iran tensions Navy Secretary John Phelan was removed from his post effective immediately, with Undersecretary Hung Cao named acting leader. The shake-up coincided with the Navy confirming the loss of an MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone in the Persian Gulf, a blow to intelligence operations amid heightened tensions with Iran. The developments come as the service faces major program reviews, mine-clearing missions, and strategic procurement decisions.
