this was the fire where the lady burnt up while talking to 911 on the phone
lost 2 minutes with slow dispatch
lost 1 minute with slow turnout
lost 4 minutes by getting lost
lost 5 minutes by not pulling the right hose line
no mention of war between BC and E6 on radio about trapped party - no
mention of E6 looking for homeowner info - no mention of how rare it
is to have ANY radio traffic about a trapped person at a fire
they want to claim that the structure was TOO dangerous to enter while
a woman was on the phone to 911 - she was alive and on the phone while
they were in the yard - per pg 25 of 45 - in fact, Eng 6 was on scene
at 1922 and the lady was still on the phone at 1927
it should be really easy - fire truck stops in driveway - 2 guys get
out with airpaks on and pull hose toward house - engineer helps pull
hose then turns on water
in the future - self driving fire truck goes to front of house and
flows water on fire - the 1 guy steps off truck and takes a selfie

NJ EMS Response Times Jan 2019

wow - some counties are ridiculously bad
note - these are 90th percentile times - divide by 2 to get
approximate average response times
for warren and sussex - they are the rural counties - but you might
expect the majority of people to live near a ambulance station - I
wonder if most calls are transports from nursing homes to hospitals -
and the ambulances use oncall staff - and the FDs dont do any EMS
first response service?

iirc I applied to be their radio engineer (or maybe dispatch center

college in Chicago and wanted to meet me - I must have told them I
couldnt afford to fly myself to Greenfield - they offered to withdraw
my application - LOL - they shoulda friggin hired me - I could have at
at least kept a spreadsheet of where their repeaters were located -
lol
note - they have 2 countywide uhf simulcast channels - 1 for police
and 1 for fire - and they have approx 50 other UHF repeaters around
the county
I have no idea why they have radio problems - they should have 1000000% coverage
note - county to north is uhf police and vhf fire - countys to west
and south are VHF high - county to east is misshgaz mushugana whatever

if drugs are worth $100K per year - and they extend a 40 year life to

iirc the USA government uses the value of $9 million per life saved by
safety regulations

Forsyth County GA FD is now encrypted
https://www.forsythnews.com/local/local-government/why-forsyth-county-fire-department-has-decided-encrypt-its-radios-and-why-concerns-first-amendment-expert/
bottom line - for my own safety - I want to be able to hear public
safety agencies handling emergencies in my area - I want to know what
is going on in real time - not 5, 15, 45 minutes later
there is nothing stopping every agency from putting live scanner audio
on their website
there are no studies that I know of that show that encryption makes
any community (nor any first responder) any safer
very little personal info goes over radios in any well run agency -
and backup communications methods are available - and special
encrypted channels can be set aside for top secret info
and AFAIK there are laws against interfering at emergency scenes
so if officer safety and public privacy issues are not the real reason
for encryption - what is?

but some stations dont have the 2nd dash in their ID and they really
dont have a name - maybe we can check a pager code list for more info

Re: [sme2] Never forget - would vs wouldn't - Trump
comment found on youtube at this video
Trump is lying as usual. He may really have faith in our intelligence
agencies, meaning he really believes them that Russia is meddling in
our elections but that isn't the message he keeps sending to his base.
Just as shameful are the republicans in congress who keep supporting
this traitor. The republicans care more about hanging on to their jobs
more than they care about their country. Vote them all out.
------------------------------------------------------
But why did Trump backstep? Why did the lights go out during his press
conference? Why is this all ancient history already? This could be a
perfect example of the "Streisand effect". Peter Sz

Re: Moscow Sta 58 video 2017
the Magirus ALP540 was lettered as "50"
the Bronto skylift - maybe an 'alp 75' - was lettered as 58
the aerial ladder was also lettered as 58
all had 2 man cabs
any Moscow snorkels seem to be the 2nd aerial unit in the station
typical Moscow stations seem to have 1 pumper and 1 ladder (30 meters)
rescue trucks (and hazmat and usar and water rescue) are maybe
operated by the Federal FD - which maybe recently has been merged into
the City FDs

Queensbury NY has 134 foot snorkel - 2nd tallest in USA
Tower One is a 2006 Bronto Skylift built on an E-One Typhoon frame.
Tower One has a bucket height of 134 feet and replaced a 1989 95 foot
Mack/Baker Aerialscope in 2006. This truck is one of the only 134'
Bronto Skylifts in the Northeast (and country for that matter) the
other being located at the Southampton Fire Department in
Southampton,NY. Tower One is also the second tallest articulating boom
tower trucks in the United States (the tallest being a 135' Bronto in
Alcoa,TN and a 135' Bronto in Royal Oak,MI).
per https://sites.google.com/view/qcfd/apparatus
maybe could reach roof at winslow towers - on 2 sides

more secrecy re critical infrastructure

stations as critical facilities - if you dont believe me - just google
"fire station" and "hazard mitigation plan" or HMP
seems like we care close to making all fire station locations top secret
keywords - openness - secrecy - transparency

the only missing info - first alarm is only transmitted when flames
are seen inside building or when smoke is seen inside buiding or
coming from bld - or something similar
burnt food can cause smoke in a building - but it rarely causes any
damage - but it could set the kitchen cupboards on fire
a blow back of an oil burner can cause a bang and smoke - but rarely
causes a danger
a barbecue fire produces smoke and fire - but no danger
a spark from an electrical outlet usually is not a big deal
etc

note how many people support the FD in the comments - yet the building
is essentially a total loss
seems to me that initial fire attack could have been done by a 200
foot snorkel and 1 pumper - but if you cant apply water from the
exterior - then your only other option is an interior attack - and
that takes a long time to get started - because climbing 10 storys in
fire gear is tiring

the deal probably went like this -
we will talk to the 2 brothers and release them
this gives us another week to kick the can down the road
then we will question Smollett again in a big show
which will give us another week to kick the can down the road
then we are into March and we can start worrying about North Korea
again - and Putin will kiss Trump full on the lips - everyone will
lose their minds - and Chicago will be out of the news
and SmollettGate will be successfully buried

FY2019 or FY2020?
intergovernmental transfer of funds
think about how this money travels - federal taxes are ripped from
each worker and sent to Wash DC - a bunch of politicians sit on the
money in DC for a while and pretend to decide the best use for the
money - then the money is doled out to each state - then the
politicians in each state play games with the money for a while - then
finally 1 fireman somewhere is given a new set of gloves - and then
everyone has huge parties to celebrate another successful "grant year"
on the other hand - the federal hacks will say that their tax
collection system is more efficient than the state and local tax
collection systems

updated update for chicago incident code smollett
https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/02/15/jussie-smollett-attack-investigation-persons-of-interest-questioned-brothers/
"Meantime, two sources with intimate knowledge of the investigation
tells CBS 2 Investigator Brad Edwards the attack on Smollett was
potentially orchestrated by the actor himself, and involved two other
men."
stick a fork in him - he is done - because I dont think that CBS2
would print this unless they were pretty sure - because they can
slammed with a libel or slander suit or whatever
-------------------------
"Investigators have said the alleged attack was not recorded on
surveillance video, but police released a grainy image of the two men
who were in the area at the time of the alleged crime."
right right right - but were there any active cameras near where he
said he was attacked ? - he should know where it happened - people
dont seem to forget that unless they have grievous injuries - and its
a store near where he lives

was there a hole in the ice when rescuers arrived?
any tracks in the snow leading in or out of pond?
did a helo look over the area?
reverse 911 was used to try to contact the swimmer
has any victim called in yet?
The Plymouth County Technical Rescue Team was at the scene. I assume
they use the latest equipment and techniques, and apparently they did
not find anyone. Which would lead me to believe that no bodies will
pop up in the bog. But ya never know.

Revised staffing plan for Arlington Mass FD
Revised staffing plan for Arlington MA FD
Arlington Mass is one of the richest towns on Gawds Green Earth. But
ambulance and paramedic response times of 15 and 20 minutes are
becoming more and more regular as the number of available ambulances
and medics are overwhelmed by multiple simultaneous calls.
Presently Arl FD has 15 people on duty per shift. They are all
firefighter/EMTs. They operate 3 engines, 1 ladder, 1 ambulance, and 1
chefs car. Arl FD presently operates from 3 stations that were rebuilt
in the last 10 years. Backup EMS service is provided by a local
private ambulance service (Armstrong) that typically dedicates 1 SUV
with 2 paramedics to Arlington. Armstrong also has a fleet of
approximately 70 BLS ambulances.
Arlington FD could change their staffing to - 2 quints with 3 people
each - plus 4 ambulances with 2 people each - plus 1 Chief car. That
maintains the 15 people per shift.
If just 1 unit is available to cover the 5 square mile Town, the best
central location is at the High School. If 2 units are available - the
2 best locations are at Arlington Center and at the intersection of
Mass Ave at Forest St. Unfortunately - just Arlington Center has a
fire station.
The three fire stations have a total of 10 bays - 6 in Arlington
Center - 3 at Highland Station - 1 at Park Circle. Lets say that we
put ...... I am changing the plan as I write this LOL ........
Lets put 1 quint and 1 ambulance in the 1 bay at Park Circle - staff
the 2 vehicles with 3 people - put the ambulance in front - put the
quint in back. Run some calls with both vehicles - run some calls with
just the ambulance. Or you could ave a pumper ambulance at this
station. But use it for ems transport as a last resort.
At Highland Station - lets fill up the 3 bays with maybe 1 or 2 quints
- and maybe 2 or 4 ambulances. The bays might be long enough to take 2
ambulances each.
At Arlington Center - with 6 bays only 1 quint can fit inside the
building at a time - but you could fill the 5 other bays with pumpers
or ambulances.
The maximum number of quints would be 5 - the maximum number of
pumpers would be 10 or 11 - the maximum number of ambulances would be
maybe 14.
As you can see - there are multiple options here. Lets start with 1
quint per station. Then add 1 ambulance per station. This would leave
room for either a maximum of 8 ambulances or a maximum of 5 pumpers.
And this is even before contemplating mini stations for quints or
other rigs around town. If you go back thru old FD annual reports you
will see mention of proposed fire stations at Hills Hill, Poets
Corner, and Lake St at Mass Ave.
Other options could include - joint funding of ambulances in adjoining
communities at West Medford, Teele Square in Somervile, Belmont
Center, and West Winchester fire stations.,
We need to think more deeply about pumper/ambulances. The closest
hospitals are approx 3 miles away in dense urban areas. So they might
not fly. But it is another option to think about.
PSOs and oncall / pager equipped staff is another thing to think about as well.
Bottom line - fires are way down - EMS calls are probably way up.

while still collecting info?

if the Pentagon exposed EVERY secret that they had - what would
happen? would the USA get nuked by nukes or germs or EMP or computer
viruses? would the USA figure out how to strike back from the gates of
hell?
seems that we still have millions of people trying to enter the USA

Polk County FL info - 2018 / 2019
Boardof County Commissioners Goals-
Goal 1.Levying new revenue sources and/or the issuance of new debt to
address high priority capital projects:Consistent with Board
direction, the FY2018/2019 balanced budget proposes two new funding
sources: a ¼ mill levy for critically needed investments in Polk
County Emergency Medical Services and a five-year levy of 1/8 mill to
purchase property and construct a new Northeast Polk Government
Center. The budget does not include any new debt.-
Goal 2.Determine levels of service for Fire Rescue:The Board
established a level of service standard of achieving a travel response
time of eight minutes in urban areas and 13 minutes in rural areas on
90 percent of calls. The FY 2018/2019 balanced budget includes the
first year of a proposed 10-year plan to utilize an additional ¼ mill
levy for emergency medical service investments in stations,ambulances
and staffing, which will be needed to achieve and maintain this level
of service standard as the population and the number of 9-1-1 medical
calls continue to increase.
per 2018/2019 preliminary budget document -

Hachinohe Japan FD video 2012 - dispatch system
https://youtu.be/SVFajf8CKqo
2012 video - shows how to report emergencys to 119
captions can be viewed in English
they have 6 consoles - can expand to 10 in disaster - at FD dispatch center
firescene can send live video to dispatch center
ambulances can fax patients info to hospitals

Niigata Japan FD video 2017 10 minutes
https://youtu.be/mg5dIhvTNqA
they explain and show how the 119 system works
not in English - in Japanese - but I was able to get English captions
(which can be funny at times)
select Settings then Sub Titles (Japanes Auto Generated) then Auto
Translate then English - or something like that - you might have to
play around with it a little to get the exact right sequence
they have 26 fire stations - rigs get out door before 119 call is terminated
both a heart attack dispatch and a fire dispatch are simulated -
showing caller and dispatcher and responders all in same view
they start by showing all the WRONG ways to report a heart attack -
calling some long phone number - I think they say - dont call your
local station on the long phone number and dont take the victim to the
fire station - because they might be out on a call or out training
CAD shows closest unit in KMs and in real time map dispaly

huge article about fed govt shutdown
https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/12/politics/shutdown-cost-cnn-estimate/index.html
this huge vacuous article says NOTHING basically
I think I am still correct - the upper level workers got a free months
long holiday - some got delayed pay - many others (mostly private
contractors) got screwed

initial dispatch - address just given once
2nd dispatch 2 minutes later - address just given once
5 minutes later - Chief has to drag cross streets out of dispatcher
is it any wonder that no one wants to volunteer?
