2018 study - 3 small FDs in SLO County CA
https://oceanocsd.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Special-District-Study-Final-11-30-18.pdf
Templeton is already paying $900K per year for the FD - that should be
enough for 9 FT FF - plus they have a CDF station in town
San Miguel has a bunch of winerys and ranches and hotels and a school
- if they cant operate a VFD - then ????
have they tried doubling the pay for vols? have they tried resident FFs?

the FCC is constantly spitting out licenses for 155.34 in Illinois and
Tennessee - these 2 states only - no one else does this
probably some arcane state EMS regulation - and the lack of a statewide license

maybe he was very tired - maybe he was on crack - maybe he has a

elsewhere in plan 155.76 is listed as the FD toneout freq (same as the
Middlebury DPW freq)
this list of freqs is under the heading of - MOBILE RADIOS: VHF Band
Middlebury Police Department & Other Agency Interoperability System
VHF Radios - therefore when they say "TX" I assume that means the TX
freq for the mobile - which seems to be correct - ie '153.83 TX with
154.40 RX' means that the repeater transmits on 154.40 and receives on
153.83 - aka - the repeater input is 153.83 and the repeater output is
154.40 - which is typical for every VHF repeater in the USA that uses
153.83 - since 153.83 was historically a HT freq - an since it matches
the FCC license
NOTE - multi repeaters on 155.715 with various input channels - I have
no idea what they are trying to accomplish here
NOTE - sheriff uses VHF high vs UHF like 90% of PDs in VT
NOTE - I assume that that Williston State Dispatch Office dispatches
all of the FDs that use 155.715 as their main freq - and I assume they
just send out a page on 155.715 - maybe the multi repeaters on 155.715
allow the various FD HTs to talk back to Williston Dispatch without
the need for 100 remote receiver sites throughout the county

I wonder if the highway ever got fixed? that was a big mess after the

probably with a 100 mile detour to get to the other side - or maybe
they built a temporary road
lets see if wikipedia has any info

London UK FD response time info
https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/2019-news/june/fire-engines-arriving-faster-due-to-improved-999-system/
turnout time dropped from 2.4 to 1.4 minutes over 10 years (chute time
- shout time - mobilization time) (sliding the pole time)
call taker time is still 1.4 or 1.0 minutes on average - dont they
have ALI connected to CAD?
average response time for first engine is 5 minutes - 6 minutes for 2nd engine
they went from 112 stations to 102 stations - and from 170 engines to
100 engines over last 20 years
you can see that still 50% of their stations have 2 engines
fatal fires commonly see a 10 minute delay in 999 calls
IMHO - this is some of the most informative info on the Internet about
any FD anywhere on the planet
One thing to check - is their fire death rate still trending downwards?

In late 2015, convicted pedophile, international dealmaker, and
cooperating witness in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia
investigation George Nader convened a secret meeting aboard a massive
luxury yacht in the Red Sea. Nader pitched Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed
bin Salman, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, Egyptian
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and other Middle Eastern leaders a plan
for a new pro-U.S., pro-Israel alliance of Arab nations that would

a highly placed American politician willing to drop sanctions on
Russia so that Vladimir Putin would in turn agree to end his support
for Iran. They agreed the perfect American partner was Donald Trump,

In late 2015, convicted pedophile, international dealmaker, and
cooperating witness in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia
investigation George Nader convened a secret meeting aboard a massive
luxury yacht in the Red Sea. Nader pitched Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed
bin Salman, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, Egyptian
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and other Middle Eastern leaders a plan
for a new pro-U.S., pro-Israel alliance of Arab nations that would
fundamentally alter the geopolitics of the Middle East while
marginalizing Iran, Qatar, and Turkey. To succeed, the plan would need
a highly placed American politician willing to drop sanctions on
Russia so that Vladimir Putin would in turn agree to end his support
for Iran. They agreed the perfect American partner was Donald Trump,

wildfire annual operating plan for Alaska in 2019
no specifics about aircraft, jumpers, engines, etc
list of dispatch centers
Table 2: Alaska Dispatch Centers
Dispatch Center - Location - Managing Agency
Alaska Interagency Coordination Center - Fort Wainwright - BLM/AFS
State Logistics Center - Fairbanks - DNR
Anchorage Interagency Dispatch Center* - Anchorage - BLM
Upper Yukon / Tanana / Military Zone Dispatch Center - Fort Wainwright
- BLM/AFS
Galena Zone Dispatch - Galena - BLM/AFS

Southwest (McGrath) Dispatch - McGrath - DNR
Tok Area Dispatch - Tok - DNR
Valdez-Copper River Area Dispatch - Glennallen - DNR
Chugach National Forest Dispatch - Anchorage - USFS
Tongass National Forest Dispatch - Ketchikan - USFS
*AICC serves as the dispatch center for AFS South Zone resources;
Anchorage Interagency Dispatch Center (AIDC) (formerly a part of "AFS
South Zone"), located in Anchorage, serves as the statewide dispatch
center for resource aviation operations and does not function as a
fire dispatch.
=====================
from the communications perspective - seems to be simple
statewide dispatch centers are linked to local dispatch centers via
teletype / email / telephone
local dispatch centers use 1 portable radio or 1 fixed control station
to access all the VHF highband repeaters in their areas
thats all there is to it basically
1 exception - 128.45 and ?132.45? are statewide fire aviation channels
- do they have bases on those freqs? - that could be tougher to
implement - but if they tell the aircraft to keep in touch with
dispatchers via the VHF repeaters, then the dispatchers dont really
need to talk on 128.45 nor 132.45 - which might save them alot of
radio infrastructure worries
2nd exception - how much do they use satellite phones - maybe alot -
maybe VHF repeaters dont have great statewide coverage
Note - BLM (aka Alaska Fire Service) has zero engines in Alaska as far
as I know - they just have jumpers, helos, and airtankers - State
Forestry and USFS might have 25 engines in total - NPS lands dont burn
basically (and they are protected by BLM or state forestry)

Buffalo NY area info
Buffalo NY area
Buffalo NY is surrounded by (or is part of) part of Erie County NY.
Erie County is divided into 3 cities + 25 towns - (there are also 16
villages but I am not exactly sure how they fit into the puzzle)
there are 94 VFDs in the county per
http://www2.erie.gov/fire/index.php?q=fire-departments - plus 3 city
FDs and 1 airport FD and 1 Indian FD and maybe some industrial FDs
the city FDs are fully paid and operate their own dispatch and radio systems
the VFDs are sort of grouped by Towns - each town might have its own
dispatch center and radio system - except that some of these town
dispatch centers serve multi towns
If I had to guess - I would guess that there are 15 suburban dispatch
centers that dispatch the various VFDs
the 94 VFDs might have 120 stations in total
almost all FDs use UHF - some use VHF highband - no one uses 800 Mhz apparently
there are a couple of county wide UHF fire channels
ambulances seem to be provided by private companies mostly - on their
own radio channels
several villages have their own VFDs - but they are listed under the
Town groupings - so for radio and dispatch purposes, they are probably
grouped with the other VFDs usually
I am still trying to figure out the dispatch channels for the outlying
VFDs - some might still be on 46 Mhz still

note - allergic reaction shows up as Priority 1 and Priority 4 -
depends on exact dispatch determinant - which depends on exact info

I wonder if handling a call with no lights and sirens will tie up a
unit 2 X longer than usng lights and sirens?
Can units be taken off Pr 4 calls and put on higher priority calls? I
certainly hope so

157.485 R at Camp Keyes for Delta Ambulance
I am guessing that this repeater allows field units in Augusta to
access the distant 155.115 repeater via a UHF link
so the path would be - 157.485 M >> 453.50 FX2 >>>>> 155.115 R
reverse path would be - 155.115 R >>> 453.10 FX2 >>> 157.485 R

grounding of antenna - chips - homes - etc
to sum this up - you can put various amounts of time and energy and $
into lightning protection - there is probably a "point of diminishing

AEL has 3 million subscribers
https://www.ems1.com/air-medical-transport/articles/393747048-MedFlight-base-closure-leads-to-primary-provider-change-in-Ala-county/
$85 per year X 3M = $250M
medevacs - air evac lifeteam / AEL
Meridianville AL base closed by Air Methods
AEL will fill the void - from further away - but its OK because all of
their bases are further away - ???????? - what kind of logic is that?
lets figure this out - each AEL base has 14 fulltime staff - at 100K
each that is $1.4 M for each base - that is 178 bases (250/1.4) - they
only have 150 bases iirc - plus they bill insurance companies and get
$6K per flight on average iirc
each helo might do 2 flights per day - so 12K X 365 X 178 = $778M in
insurance reimbursements
assuming that capital costs are zero - looks like they are clearing
$1B in pure profit annually

1. usaf is always seeking better tires for the aircraft

3. they put a 3D scanner in the middle of a runway and record every pebble and grain of concrete and all the other smootz
4. they then build a 3D replica of the runway - maybe with a 3D printer - and then test the hell out of any new tires they are developing

Boston FD radio history - a recap - again
Boston FD radio history - a recap - again
in the beginning all radios were on 33.74 - maybe 1935 to 1952
(I do have some earlier freqs - cant remember off top of head right now)
1952 - channel 2 added - 153.89 - just some chiefs and the dispatcher
channel 4 added at some point - 154.265
1972 ish - mobiles on 33.74 ch1 - portables for company officers on ch
2 153.89 - dispatcher would relay messages from 153.89 to 33.74 - such
as - 'Engine 9 charge your line' - or 'allout box 7122" - probably the
dispatcher was simulcasting the box alarms on Ch1 and Ch2 (just the
voice part - not the beeps - there were never any boxes beeped on
153.89 nor 154.265)
1975 ish - all onduty members got a portable radio
1980 ish - all units got UHF mobiles and UHF portables - dispatchers
got UHF repeaters - 33.74 did simulcast traffic from 483.1625R for
several years - 153.89 maybe was used as the T radio system for
several years - just portables talking to dispatchers from inside
subway stations - 153.65 had data for high pressure system - maybe
153.89 had it for a while also - 453.65 started to be used for station
alerting (called Ch 5)
1980 ish - home channels for all portables was Channel 2 (483.1875R) -
home channel for all mobiles was Ch 1 (483.1625R) - this was an
operational holdover from the VHF days - dispatchers would still relay
many messages from ch1 to ch2 and vice versa
2000 ish - home channels for portables changed from Ch2 to Ch1
2015 ish - upper commanders got 700T radios - admin type people also -
its all patched to the UHF channels

its not really a county FD - it just covers 1 part of the county
maybe 2 new stations involved
let me take a guess - the county rescue squad at some point bought a
fire truck to cover a rural section that had no coverage - now there
are 2300 homes there and something had to change
apparently the county rescue squad used to be in the county seat
(Dickson City) - but they moved out recently
I am not sure where the 2 new stations are located - but Dickson City
FD has had a sub station maybe near there since 1991

Denver FD turns on encryption

What is the intention of the person who complains about the video?
Do you want to call for not uploading such videos? Do you just want to
sell to posters? I only want you to be with me because I'm free?
Well, I think it is something other than the first one. (Lol)
The person who complains about being entertained and should watch the
animation ...
Early story, those who complain about this video are just good stories to see.
You only have to look at people who are obediently treated as fearful of fires.

In fact, if you go to the fire site, you can not get close with such a fire.
It's really hot and glass flying.
If there is a backdraft, even a firefighter may be a prisoner, so it
would be legal to stay away!

is now 166.50 PL 0.0 - that is an areawide simplex channel - all other
channels remain the same - except maybe they added new repeaters or
changed repeater tones - I didnt check that out - but the freqs remain
the same as what I found online in 2018

re CA fire radio channels
concerning California fire radio channels - per
http://firescope.caloes.ca.gov/macs-docs/MACS-441-1.pdf
initial contact freq - for units arriving at an incident - usually
VFIRE 21 (154.28) for mutual aid units - also - UCALL40 + 7CALL50 +
8CALL90
---------------------------------
Therefore - California fire departments now have at least 4 different
types of radio channels
1. dispatch / primary
2. command
3. initial contact
4. tactical
plus specialty one off channels - guard - travel - civil defense
(153.755R) - civil defense fire (154.16R 154.22R)
no one uses a 'paging only' channel iirc - except maybe Riverside
County Fire - and Orange County Fire that has 900 mhz pagers
the 'initial contact channel' concept is also known as - call up
channel - mobilization channel - staging channel - in other parts of
the USA - maybe also - rally channel - approach channel (Oneida County
NY) - arrival channel (that should be an easy name to remember) -
instructions channel - get your orders channel

English info about Tokyo FD
http://www.tfd.metro.tokyo.jp/eng/eng_ts_sa.html
on Tokyo FD website - lots of interesting info
ambs have at least 1 medic
non emergency ambs are private
there are 3 divisions - 10 districts - 81 batallion HQs ("fire
stations") - 208 sub stations ("branch fire stations)
I dont think that divisions and districts have any fire apparatus -
except for rescue task forces and maybe the districts have command
vans
the batt HQs have 2E/L/R/A etc - the branches have 2E and 1 A each
and it all adds up if you do the math - for a total of 540 pumpers -
251 ambulances - 93 command vans (81 batts + 10 districts + 3
divisions) - 86 ladders - 29 rescues
which means that 251 of 290 paid stations have ambulances - all 81
batts HQs have ladders plus 5 branch stations apparently - only 29 of
290 paid stations have rescue trucks - maybe 230 of 290 paid stations
have 2 engines - which leaves 60 paid stations with just 1 engine
note - if they switch to just 1 engine per station house - they could
add 140 more paid stations - which is approx a 50% increase in the
number of stations - if they went to an all quint set up with 1 quint
per paid station, they could double their number of stations - that
should cut their response times nearly in half - at the same budget
level
on top of this is approx 400 volunteer stations with 230 mini vans and
990 portable pumps

was between maybe 7/2008 and 11/2009 - Walter Wright died around that
time - Walter Wright had left the apt and gone to a nursing home
apparently - his niece was in the apt afterwards - maybe she was
taking care of Walter for a while - some guy from Lowell or Chelmsford
was her boyfriend - many people saw them coming thru the lobby
together every day - I knew something was up but had no idea it was
drugs - he would never make eye contact with me iirc - his obituary
was in the paper and his wife and daughter wrote some sad stuff - I
cant find that in my notes at this time - maybe I can find Walter
Wrights obituary and look for a nieces name - or maybe some old online
telephone directory will show her name associated with that apt - I
talked to the niece once - a tenant gave me a cellphone that they
"found" - I called the number and the niece barks - 'I want my phone
back' - I said OK - she came to my apt and took it - no problem that
day - but that was probably a headsup that was supposed to get my
attention - but like I said, I saw no indication of drug use they
both looked like typical USAers - he looked like a sturdy jock to me -
maybe 6 foot 200 lb - there was another tenant that gave me a story
about the housing director trying to hold the niece at the scene
before the cops arrived - not sure how true that was - another tenant
told me she pleaded with the office to let the niece into the apt (the
day of the OD) because the niece was constantly ringing the phone in
the apt looking for the guy - now that I look back on it, it was
pretty sad all around

Tokyo area fire stations - update
While updating the Tokyo area fire station map, we have come to a few conclusions.
1. Paid stations are typically 1 to 2 miles apart. Downtown they are 1/2 mile apart.
2. There are two types of paid stations. The battalion HQs have 1 or 2 pumpers, a rescue, a ladder, a medic ambulance and a battalion chief. The sub stations / "branch stations" have 1 or 2 pumpers and a medic ambulance. There is maybe an average of 4 substations for every Battalion HQ. I think that the typical staffing is 4 on engines, ladders, and rescues. 3 on ambulances and battalion chiefs cars. These stations are staffed 24/7 by paid crews. Batt HQs have 7 or 8 bays. Branch stations have 2 or 3 bays. Batt HQ might have 5 floors on average. Branch stations seem to have 2 floors on average.
3. The volunteer stations are 99% 2 stories with 1 bay. They all have a red light on the front. Most are lettered with FD name and station ID. Many have horns or sirens. Many have a hose rack or drill tower or lookout tower. Many have radio antennas. I suspect that the upper floor has a office, meeting room, and maybe small kitchen and bathroom.90% seem to have the same dimensions. Maybe a 10 foot high bay door that is 10 feet wide. The bay might be 15 feet deep or 20 feet.
4. The volunteer stations seem to be approx one half mile from each other and from the paid stations. There might be 4 vol stations for every paid station. More in the western areas - fewer in the downtown areas.
5. Maybe the volunteer stations are only alerted for major fires and disasters. Except in the mountains to the west of Tokyo. There are very few paid stations in the mountains (?3?) and I suspect that the 30 volunteer stations are the primary responders in those areas.
6. This info seems to apply to the entire metro area. The metro area is home to 38 million people stretching across 3 or 4 prefectures/states.I have not come across any industrial FDs yet - but there must be some somewhere. The Yokohama and Kawasaki ares have lots of petroleum tanks along the waterfront. Perhaps they have their own FDs. I am sure that the Japan Self Defense Force has a few fire stations in the aea. The US military might have 6 fire stations or more in the area also. At least 4 are in Kanagawa Prefecture.
7. Many residential areas have very narrow streets and homes with very little room between them. The land is basically level until you get into the hills and mountains west of Tokyo. There seem to be very few rivers or streams that traverse the area. Electrical wires seem to be everywhere on metal poles - except in downtown areas.
8. I think that I read that every major structure is required to have a full time fire safety director. And possibly there are many internal fire brigades that are trained to use fire extinguishers. In the last decade, smoke detector usage has gone way up and fire deaths have gone down by 50%..
9. I have seen a piece of trash on the ground anywhere. And graffiti apparently is punishable by death - because it does not exist.
10. It would be very interesting to see how their radio systems are set up. IIRC Tokyo had 2 channels per Division. That was 20 years ago. (They have approx 8 Divisions).
11. Tokyo FD might be organized like this - 3 districts - 10 divisions - maybe 70 battalions - maybe 210 branch stations - the vols are separate
12. The most notable exceptions to the rules are - maybe 5 branch stations have Ladders - maybe 5 stations have 2 ambulances - at least two volunteer stations have 2 companies - newer Tokyo paid stations have bays for vol units
13. Tokyo pumper do respond to some medical emergencies with ambulances. But since most stations have 2 pumpers - this does not put a big dent in their fire responses.
14. Possibly for reports of smoke in a building but no visible flames, Tokyo FD just sends one engine. IIRC Tokyo sends 5 pumpers and 2 ladders to reported building fires.
15. IIRC Tokyo works 24 hours on - 48 hours off. Their FD website has lots of info in English. I have not reviewed it in a while.so I might be really rusty on some of these operational details.

I just added a reply to this post - don't know where it went - lets try again
from the Tokyo FD English Information Book
Resources of Volunteer Fire Corps of the 23-Ku Area (As of April 1, 2015)
(the 23-Ku area is the east half of the Tokyo FD coverage area - it includes downtown Tokyo) (the west half of the Tokyo FD coverage area is the Tama area - it is technically outside of the 'city' - ish - sorta)
Volunteer Fire Corps - 58
Volunteer Fire Corps Division - 439
Corps Members - 16,000
Main Equipment & Tools
○Portable pumps 990
○Vans to carry portable pumps 223
○Fire Corps Division facilities 990
○Portable radios (400 MHz) 1,728
○Rescue tools 990
○Portable hydraulic rescue tools 439
This seems to mean that in the East Area there are 223 volunteer fire stations that have 1 van, 4 portable pumps, 5 portable radios, 4 rescue tools, and 2 hydraulic rescue tools each
On second thought - maybe there are 223 volunteer stations with 1 van and 1 pump each - plus 700 other places where they stash portable pumps and rescue tools
6/18/2019 - the map on the 23 ku volunteers website shows approx 400 locations - they seem to be a mixture of paid stations and volunteer stations - so why do they claim to have 990 vol "facilities"? - maybe it is 450 1 bay stations plus 450 huts (with the huts holding just 1 portable pump and 1 rescue tool each) - with the 450 1 bay stations holding 223 vans, 450 port pumps, 450 rescue tools, and 450 hydraulic rescue tools. Maybe it is 223 1 bay vol stations plus equipment at 100 paid stations. ?????

This seems to mean that in the East Area there are 223 volunteer fire stations that have 1 van, 4 portable pumps, 5 portable radios, 4 rescue tools, and 2 hydraulic rescue tools each
On second thought - maybe there are 223 volunteer stations with 1 van and 1 pump each - plus 700 other places where they stash portable pumps and rescue tools
6/18/2019 - the map on the 23 ku volunteers website shows approx 400 locations - they seem to be a mixture of paid stations and volunteer stations - so why do they claim to have 990 vol "facilities"? - maybe it is 450 1 bay stations plus 450 huts (with the huts holding just 1 portable pump and 1 rescue tool each) - with the 450 1 bay stations holding 223 vans, 450 port pumps, 450 rescue tools, and 450 hydraulic rescue tools. Maybe it is 223 1 bay vol stations plus equipment at 100 paid stations. ?????
