Polk County FL tape at YouTube

https://youtu.be/2R07XhpcrM0

statter put the Broadcastify tape at YouTube and got 16,000 views

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

I relistened to the radio tape from broadcastify today - since the
first time I listened to the broadcastify tape I have read some of the
2 official reports on the fire - so listening to the radio tape again
has been a little more enlightening

19:45 on the tape at archive.org - I am pretty sure that Engine 6
asked for the caller to step outside and flag them down

23:40 E6 asked the dispatcher to "get with the homeowner" and find out
if the structure was vacant

the dispatcher never said that we are on the line with someone in the
house - the radio dispatcher said something like - we got word from
the RP that someone is trapped

Maybe that explains it - maybe Engine 6 Captain was under the
impression that the RP was not in the home; and possibly was relaying
info from someone somewhere else

so then he pulls up with a 3 man crew - orders the 2 FFs to drag a
supply line away from the building - and ends up standing next to the
bld with the victim inches away - and he is by himself - so he needs
the squad and E23 to help him to meet 2 in 2 out - or just to help him
in general because there is no way he can go in the front door alone -
maybe he could have gone in a back door if there was one

but even when e23 and squad ?7 arrived they immediately restated it
was defensive

maybe there had been 30 false alarms in that neighborhood recently and
they thought this was an elaborate prank of some sort - maybe thy
thought it was a drug lab

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

to recap

E6 kinda gets lost going to the fire

then E6 Captain ends up standing next to the burning building by
himself - and he is praying with all of his might that no one is
inside - but there is
