today is 'Death of CY2019 Day'

yes - 2019 dies today

calendar year 2019 dies at midnight on December 31 2019

the year can not be resurrected - the year cannot be put on life support

the year is gone and it aint coming back

------------------

question - at what point does 'becoming one year older' change from
being a good thing to a bad thing? probably around 45 - thats probably
when the body starts to seriously decay - and one is old enough to
recognize what that means

unless - one is in perfect health at 90 - but even with perfect
health, I gotta think that at the age of 45 or 50, for every new thing
that one learns, a distant memory is kicked into the trash

(just thinking outloud)

------------------

just thought of something - shouldnt have Jesus been born on December
21? that is the shortest day of the year - we could have a great
parable of a great baby being born on Dec 21 - and the days
immediately started to get longer

missed it by that much

(did I post this earlier? starting to get some deja vu here)

so if Jesus was born on Dec 21 and circumcised on Dec 28 - then Dec 28
would be New Years Day - we could have a week off for Xmas and New
Years - 2 days to recover - and then BOOM into the new year

https://goo.gl/maps/XEeohPebR8GM2qTHA

Odds and Ends

Sarasota County FD in Florida lists the entire staffing for each
station on their website - ambulances ("Rescues") are staffed by 1
medic and 1 firefighter (FF) / EMT - engine companies seemed to be
staffed by either 2 or 3 people - the ALS Engines have 1 officer + 1
firemedic + 1 FF - the County FD operates 4 or 5 rescues out of city
fire stations - the County FD covers all unincorporated areas plus the
City of Sarasota - County Ladder trucks are staffed by 2 FFs - FFs
work 24 on / 48 off

Charlotte County Florida has a county FD - iirc they cover most of the
county with both fire and EMS units

Lee County Florida is served by multiple local FDs and "fire control
districts" - ambulance transport is done by Lee County EMS - FFs work
24 on / 48 off irc

Arlington Mass L1 today is using the Arlington Quint ('Arl L2' maybe -
not sure how it is lettered these days - used to be Eng 3) -
apparently the Boston Ladder has gone back to the big city - the
Arlington Quint has 2 rear axles

Peabody Mass - Eng 5 and Medic 1 went to a EMS call - both units were
heard on 484.6625R

Foxborough Mass - both Eng 24 and Ladder 26 went to a fire alarm -
they used 484.6625 R - Eng 24 was all broken up inside the bld

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds...low relative humidity...and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.

2 fire radio items today

Concord Massachusetts - Sherborn Eng 3 was heard on 453.3875 R talking
to "District 14" - channel names used by Sherborn Eng 3 were "Dist 14
South" and "Dist 14 North" - tanker control at the fire was on the
"Red" channel - Sherborn Eng 3 was told to switch to Red by District
14 - District 14 was heard talking to 'Car 14' and 'Concord Control'
on 453.3875 R also - Conord Control is the very old name for the
Concord 911 dispatcher


Sanford Maine - all comms seemed to be on 1 channel - the short
working fire single tone was sent on this channel and the working fire
was announced - "Alfred Eng 92" came up on the freq and announced they
were moving up to Sanford Central Station - Sanford Rescue 7 responded
on the working fire - apparently staffed by off duty or call
firefighters- units at scene were A3, Eng 4, Eng 2 - maybe Ladder 1
also - "Truck 37" reported they were doing ventilation on the main
floor - Acton FD was sent to cover the Springvale Station - they did
not come up on the Sanford channel - feed was at
https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/17387/web - Truck 37 is
apparently the Ladder Truck and uses "Truck 37" as the HT ID also -
Engine 4 has a Captain - dispatcher seems to answer to either
"Sanford" or "Dispatch"

The Arlington 911 Center will handle close to 28,000 incidents in 2019

Each case is 1 incident - no matter how many calls are received - no
matter how many units respond - each case is 1 "incident"

typical response to a police incident is 1 or 2 police cars

typical response to 1 ambulance incident is 1 police car, 1 fire
truck, 1 ambulance, and 1 paramedic unit

Some incidents will receive no actual response - like a burglar alarm
that is received, followed by a phone call within a minute or two by
the alarm company explaining that it is a accidental alarm - or the
dispatchers realize that a call is in a different town - but this is
relatively rare

Accuracy and reliability has to be very high at the 911 Center -
national standards do not exist for accuracy and reliability afaik -
it is just assumed that all calls are handled 100% perfectly - NFPA
has a standard for 911 Centers - APCO might have standards or
guidelines also - and there might be 1 or 2 certification bodies but
they are not well known nor extensively utilized

460.05 R - Worcester FD - confirmed

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=1226

as listed on Radio Ref

460.05 R - DPL 051 - FD units and Medic units signing on and arriving
at EMS calls and CO alarms etc - heard over the air here in Arlington
- weak always - scratchy sometimes - gotta find the sweet spot by the
window to hear it

460.05 R is apparently patched to OPs C as advertised on Radio Reference

(Ops C traffic is coming over the Broadcastify feed for Worcester FD -
confirmed today - or to be more accurate - traffic from 460.05 R is
also coming over the Broadcastify feed)

(one time I was standing by the window with the scanner behind me - I
was completely blocking the signal - scary - where exactly was that
EMF going?)

why does it cost $900 ?

if it is 100 hours of training - with a class of 20 - if the
instructor gets $20 per hour - then the class should cost $100 plus
the cost of books (maybe another $100)

those one way signs are very misleading - you see them all over the

crossover - they need more markings on the roadways - in the
crossovers and in that special merge lane - or they need to build a

Re: [sme2] Brookline NH area fire paging info

to clarify

Hollis NH FD - 151.475R

Brookline NH FD - 151.07 (R)

Re: [sme2] Brookline NH area fire paging info

1919 pm - Hollis FD sent to EMS call - 4yo or 40yo male stuck in a
chair - 13A1 and Eng 2 responding

heard via scanner feed - and the voice dispatch was also heard over
the air on 151.07 PL 88.5 - tones were not heard over the air on
151.07 - but they were heard via the scanner feed - 2 tone sets and 1
long tone

call initially paged as "EMD pending" and then repaged 2 minutes later
with full details - apparently this is the statewide 911 dispatch
protocol that has been in use for maybe 10 years or more - all 911
calls go to the statewide 911 center in Concord NH - apparently the
State 911 Center send a prealert somehow to the local dispatch center
so the local dispatch center can send out the tones - then within a
minute or two, the state 911 center sends the call details to the
local dispatch center somehow (maybe via email)

Sanford ME - bad crash

https://twitter.com/CaptCullen/status/1205637512129056768

in York County - they do have a feed at Broadcastify

Brookline NH area fire paging info

pager tests heard via Brookline Hollis etc feed at Broadcastify - and
over the air via 151.07 PL 88,5

6 PM - Greenville NH Fire pager test - heard via feed only

615 PM - Hollis and Brookline NH Fire pager tests - heard via feed and
over the air

616 PM - pager test for Mason NH FD heard via scanner feed

625 PM - retest of Hollis NH and Brookline NH fire pagers - this time
voice and tones heard over the air on 151.07 PL 88.5 - at 615 pm just
voice was heard on 151.07 - perhaps was operator error - multi
callsigns given

(that was interesting - just as I am typing this up - they do the retest)

151.07 PL 88.5 should be the Brookline NH FD radio system per Radio
Reference - I am not sure if it is a repeater or not - have not heard
any field units yet - just the dispatcher has been heard so far

20 or 30 years ago - all of these folks were on 33.90 iirc - then some
went to 33.74 - and some went to VHF highband iirc - 33.90 was
'shared' with Lakes Region NH - and 33.74 was used by Boston MA FD
till 1980 ish

misc paging info from eDispatches - Massachusetts

Dennis FD appears to have 4 paging signals

'All Call' + 'Sta1 and Sta 2' + 'Sta 1' + 'Sta 2'

I guess that 'Sta 1' and 'Sta 2' and 'Sta 1 and Sta 2' just alerts the
on duty guys in the stations - "All Call" maybe alerts the onduty guys
in the stations plus the offduty guys

-------------------------

Orleans FD appears to have 3 paging signals - 'Fire' and 'Station' and
'Rescue' - not sure what the distinctions are here - "Station" is
probably just the people onduty at the fire station

Hainesville was heard to acknowledge the test via the Linneus feed

all of the tests might have been on 155.10 (sheriff channel) - or

Locally Heavy Rainfall with Mountain Snows Out West

A series of storm systems will move onshore across the West Coast
through early this weekend, bringing several rounds of locally heavy
rainfall, with several feet of snowfall to the mountains from the
Cascades to the Central Rockies. Dangerous surf is also likely for
coastal areas. Meanwhile, locally heavy lake effect snows will
continue downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario into Thursday.

Butte Silver Bow County map - Montana

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GWMdld_ouwB_fY8Yqj6xAsb4PXd0yk5B&usp=sharing

interesting area - they have a combined city / county FD - 34 FT guys
plus 150 vols - 1 city FD with 2 stations - plus 11 vol stations -
plus maybe 2 independent FDs - plus 1 USFS engine and 1 BLM engine -
big open pit mines in Butte - maybe are a hazmat concern

I think that EMS is done by the local hospital

airport has own FD - all 8 airport employees are trained as crash firefighters

Hey Arkansas - here is a present for you

https://sites.google.com/site/usapublicsafety/home/arkansas

I added maps for Desha County and Baxter County

they are pretty lousy maps - need lots more work

I saw a notice that property records were now available online for
these 2 counties. So I wanted to check it out. You can search for FIRE
and see the property records for many of the fire stations. More
stations than you will find via Google Maps or via Home Town Locator.
Which is always interesting.

Bottom line - as a wild guess - every area within those 2 counties now
is within 5 miles of a fire station. Whether or not they have good
trucks and good firefighters - that is another question.

Baxter County ARK - south area does not have E911

there are some other overlap issues also

Re: Massachusetts calls heard via eDispatches

times might be off by 1 hour due to apparently glitch at eDispatch
website - or maybe at Broadcastify - something is off by an hour
somewhere - maybe not all times are wrong

Guilford Maine had a fire call

12/7/2019 - 2009 hours - Guilford Maine FD paged for smoke in house -
2nd page at 2018 to cancel the call "per 701"

per eDispatches.com website

Massachusetts calls heard via eDispatches

2 am ish today - Plainville amb did a transport to hospital -
dispatcher hit 3 different pager tones to get 1 off duty person to
come to the station over a 15 minute span - the tone sets in order
were - PFDGroupAllCall + Plainville_AMB_All + PFD_EngManpwr - the last
one is probably Engine Manpower

12/8/2019 - 612 am - Stow FD hit box tone twice for boiler fire in
Maynard - must have been an automatic mutual aid call

12/8/2019 - Great Barrington FD and SBVAS got hit with multiple pages
starting at 2438 hours for a MVA at Sheffield town line - sounded like
county was hitting the tones

12/8/2019 - 328 am - MashpeeRecall tone was hit for station 2 coverage

12/8/2019 ? - middle of night maybe - Hamilton-Med tone activated -
505 and (PD) 310 sent to fall call from alarm ("medical alert")
company

Athol-EMS tone went out - also - Athol-AllCall tone went out for a
still alarm for a CO detector activation

Picture Rocks AZ - 8 people on duty per shift

is that 8 people at the station always? to serve just 10,000 people?
seems to be a very well endowed FD

history - fire in 1977 killed 2 kids 1 block from fire station

question about counties - ??????

here is a question about counties

what parts of the USA are not within a county?

I am not sure if there is a legal or administrative or bureaucratic or
societal question - but anyhow

1. alaska has some areas that are outside of boroughs iirc - but they
probably get mail delivery and are protected by the us military - and
pay federal taxes - and register for selective service etc - but they
must show up on someones land ownership records

2. military bases might not be considered to be in counties - they
probably dont have to follow county rules - but they probably do show
up under county land ownership records - someone holds the elections
on the military bases - someone delivers there mail - they probably
dont pay any county taxes or fees - do US civilian laws apply on
military bases?

3. iirc yellwostone national park and yosemite national park and maybe
death valley national park are considered to be exclusive
jurisdictions - ie the NPS provides all police and fire and other
local governmental services - do state and county laws apply there? -
they must - whose land ownership record system do they appear on? -
their own?

4. how about indian reservations - they sit on many counties but I
suspect that some are exclusive jurisdictions - having their own laws
and law enforcement systems - do they have deeds to lands or is it all
communal / trust land - is there any such thing as a Indian Assesors
Department? - iirc have seen private land listed on indian
reservations like at Colville Wash - maybe some private parcels were
listed at the ? Ferry ? County Assesor office

5. district of columbia - ??? - have own local laws iirc - not sure
what local taxes they pay - I cant imagine that any Maryland or
Virginia laws apply to them - unless tere are some Metro planning laws
that apply to DC

6. puerto rico? guam? marshall islands?

7. probably all males in all areas have to register for selective
service / the military draft

8. Virginia cities are independent of counties - even the smallest of
them apparently - so I guess that means that they dont pay taxes to
the county and dont follow county rules

9. Angle Inlet Minnesota might be part of a Canadian county - ???

10. embassys are considered to be foreign territory iirc - but they
must have to meet local fire safety laws at the least - maybe not

11. NASA sites - wallops island - white sands - cape canaveral - they
must be exclusive lands - what county laws do they follow? DOE also -
Hanford - Savannah River - Los Alamos - etc - Los Alamos has a joint
FD with Los Alamos County iirc - I forget who pays for what

12. what county is the United Nations Building in? any? New York City
County? do they pay property taxes? do they follow the NYC fire code?
who owns the land?

Trumps phones are always hacked

https://twitter.com/tedlieu/status/1202788694891077632

perhaps Trump wants everyone in the USA to hate him - perhaps he wants
to give the guys in the bunkers in North Dakota a reason to nuke the
White House - maybe because Trump knows how deeply Russia and China
have their claws into the USA - maybe Trump will turn out to be the
greatest USA patriot ever (by getting Washington DC leveled)
