https://archive.org/details/LynnMASeptember162017FDTapeStartsAt526AM

Lynn Massachusetts USA - September 16, 2017 - 529 AM - fire in an apartment building with ladder rescues made

tape / recording starts at 526 AM - initial dispatch was at 529 AM

timeline - approximate times

529 AM - Engine 5 and Ladder 1 sent for a "central station alarm"

532 AM - Ladder 1 at scene - (Engine 5 responds from the same firehouse so they probably arrived at 532 AM also)

533 AM - Ladder 1 requests the "box" while yelling "out out out" with people yelling in the background

535 AM - Engine 1, Engine 10, H1 (Safety Chief), and C4 (District Chief) sent

536 AM - Ladder 1 requests the second alarm with a report of more people trapped (or 4 people)

537 AM - 2nd alarm announced - E(Engine)3 + E7 + E9 + L(Ladder)4 + L2 + Medic 1 (fire department ALS ambulance)

538 AM - Eng 1 at scene

539 AM - some message from Eng 1 - cut out by static or "double" (2nd party transmitting at the same time)

540 AM - dispatcher reports a party trapped in Apartment 8

541 AM - Medic 1 at scene and C4 at scene

542 AM - big doubles - sounds like a message from Eng 1 to Lad 4 was lost

542 AM - 3 tone sets - 2nd alarm announced

542 AM - messages about Ladder 2 to back - notice how the dispatcher stops talking mid word - to avoid doubling - this is the MAJOR advantage of giving the dispatcher full duplex comms (the ability to transmit and receive at the same time)

there is a archived newspaper article in the notes for the tape

a couple of "Atlantic" units can be heard signing on also - this is Atlantic Ambulance Service, the local private ambulance company (who work hand in hand with Lynn FD 24/7/365)
