Continuing with Part 2 of this post
they had absolutely no clue that the fire had gone into the Squirrel Valley area
=========================
0045 - 2 air tankers and 1 air attack airborne from Porterville - ETA 11 minutes
100 - request medium task force - (is 5 more Kern County brush engines)
256 /1613 PM - Eng 371 at scene
720 - Helo 407 at scene
815 - want evacs ordered?
1025 - starting Ty3 ST thru Porterville - (USFS engines)
1119 - fire will hit Cook Peak -then depending on winds, will hit ???
in a couple of hours
2000 - send a Porterville TF to Yankee Canyon
2237 - getting lots of phone calls for spotting into Squirrel Valley -
try to check with Air Attack
2400 - get engines from the Desert (side) into Squirrel Valley
2400 - calls for 1 home burning already in Squirrel Valley
2549 - TF 5230 paged (maybe) - (they were ordered back at 100 on the
tape - 24 minutes previous - maybe this was a formality)
2730 - E371 and E72 will head to Squirrel Valley - ETS 15 minutes
========================
they thought the fire would take 2 hours to reach the homes in
Squirrel Valley - seems that it only took 45 minutes
oy vey
they had 3 or 4 helos plus 2 tankers and 1 air attack over the fire -
plus who knows how many EMS and police helos - and no one noticed the
fire burning into homes apparently - ?????????

At this point it seems to me that they sent just about every fire truck in
the area immediately - but maybe they didnt send them to the right
side of the hill - that will take more study to uncover.
I noticed that E72 was not sent but they did respond. Like I said
before - each of the Kern County stations has 3 people on duty 24/7;
and each station has a big pumper and a small pumper - i dont know if
they roll both rigs at the same time or not. Something tells me that
there are absolutely no volunteer firefighters; and off duty staff are
not (promptly) used.

ISO Report on 2nd District FD in Maryland
http://www.sdvfdrs.org/files/
12/2014 - 38 pages
they lose points on the dispatch center but no reason is given - ?????
per page 9 of 38 - 14k of 33K FDs in USA are barely competent (either
Class 9 or Class 10) - that is 33%
Is that true? Are 33% of the fire departments in the USA incompetent?
Question - how much do fire insurance rates change between ISO Class
10, Class 9, and Class 8? That would be very interesting information.
------------------------
Look at the ISO curve on page 9 of 38. Does that make any sense? Why does it have 2 peaks?

Victor Rosario was convicted of lighting an arson fire in 1983 that
killed 8 people in a Lowell apartment house. This appeal contends that
all 3 evidentiary pillars of the prosecutors case were bogus. The 3
bogus pillars were - arson investigators analysis of physical evidence
- police interrogation of suspect in throes of alcohol withdrawal -
evidence from a tenuous eyewitness

got on the radio to warn him the fire was boiling under him

1.5 minutes to transfer the call from police to fire - maybe due to arson angle
page 45 has some radio tape segments

Fresno has approx 350 firefighters to protect 525,000 people

could that account for a 500% difference in FD size?)

police radio tapes included in Star Tribune newspaper article
1. seems very odd that they would be discussing probable cause for the stop on the radio - seems very very very very rare - based on my 50 years of owning a police scanner
2. why didnt they do a felony stop if they thought they had 2 people wanted for armed robbery?
3. why didnt they apply tourniquets after the shooting?
4. why did they mention a "broad nose" on the radio? that is totally bizarre

lots of wild comments here
------------------------------------
Total BS the police don’t always go full felony mode until they get more confirmation the person is likely who they are looking for. Heck many purposely hope to not tip the person off that is why they stopped them.
