about the worcester mass fire
info about Worcester Mass - there are approx 50 fire stations within
30 minutes of downtown Worcester Mass - and approx 300 offduty
Worcester firefighters
How many stations were at the fire? maybe 10 Can any reasonable person
assert there was not enough manpower at the fire?
Stating this another way - if every available firefighter was
immediately sent to the initial 911 call - how many would have arrived
within 30 minutes? my guess is - 700 firefighters with 100 pumpers and
40 ladder trucks

dispatch scheme for nsw rfs
it just occurred to me that possibly RFS District Offices / Fire
Control Centers do the emergency paging on weekdays - but the 2 mega
dispatch centers do the emergency paging at other times
perhaps this is in flux
perhaps more and more fire stations are being directly dispatched by
the 2 mega fire dispatch centres
so the alerting schemes could be
weekdays - 000 to telephone operator - to 2 mega fire dispatch centers
- to pager or to district office - district office to pager
other times - 000 to telephone operator - to 2 mega fire dispatch
centers - to pagers
there might be telephone tree callout systems in some areas - there
also might be mobile phone based alerting systems - and fire station
sirens - maybe even shortwave radios or satellite phones in some
places - they have some mighty rural areas to contend with
keywords - australia - new south wales - fire dispatch system - fire
service radio communications system
keep in mind that we are just talking about the 'rural fire service' here

NSW RFS Fire Vehicles
"New South Wales Rural Fire Service" - all vols - formerly known as
the Bush Fire Brigades
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/41477/5.1.7-Appliance-and-Vehicle-Category-Details.pdf
- 4 pages
1. every SW RFS fire station has at least 1 cat 1 rig
2. the cat 1 rigs sometimes have a scba locker with 2 or 4 scba -
thats probably the village rigs or the multi purpose rigs
3. the cat 1 rigs have 750 to 1000 gallons of water plus a self
powered 150 gpm pump plus a portable pump - they are similar to USA
TYPE 4 engines imho - possibly all cat 1 have cafs
4. looking at this document - note that cat 1 and cat 2 are AWD - cat
3 and 4 are not AWD (like texas boosters maybe) - cat 5 and 6 are the
largest but I think they are very rare - cat 7 and 8 are midi pumpers
- cat 9 are small like jeeps or pickup trucks with only 200 gallons of
water
5. cat 10 and 11 are listed as "pumpers" - possibly they are regular
urban pumpers with more compartments and maybe a deck gun - and maybe
a integral pump or a PTO - maybe do not have pump and roll capability
10. since NWS RFS has 2,000 fire brigades - and each brigade typically
has one 2 bay or 3 bay station - then one can assume that NWS RFS has
2,000 cat 1 rigs plus 2,000 cat 7 rigs plus 2,000 cat 9 rigs - plus 62
pumpers (cat 10 or 11 apparently - for village structural protection)
11. each station might have 1 AED - each rig might have 2 uhf mobile
radios and 2 VHF portables
12. NWS RFS might have 1 tanker per district also - which would give
them approx 50 tankers (2000 or 3000 or 4000 gallons of water)
13. not sure how many aircraft NWS RFS owns - maybe 10 helos
14. keep in mind that FRNWS has approx 500 urban pumpers at 350
stations plus 30 ladder plus 30 heavy rescues plus 30 hazmat trucks
15. not sure what other parts of Australia have for fire rigs - it is
probably similar - I know that the other states also have historically
had the city vs bush fire brigade distinction - probably for the last
70 years anyways

if you could spray this from a truck on a highway and cover 100 feet

you would have good fire breaks and reliable evacuation routes - imho
but present retardant cannot be used near water sources - so maybe
this report is not 100% correct

Somerville PD - heard 2 units talking to each other on "direct" - they agreed to meet up at an address for a warrant service - then 1 car went onto the repeater and told the dispatcher the same thing - [not sure why they were using direct in this situation - I imagine it just puts a bunch of static into the ears of the west cars]

Atlantic Magazine Article about MH370
https://publicsafetyusa.blogspot.com/2019/11/atlantic-magazine-article-about-mh370.html
bottom line - pilot killed everyone by decompression and dove into the sea

Atlantic Magazine article about MH370
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/07/mh370-malaysia-airlines/590653/
Atlantic Monthly thinks that the pilot killed everyone onboard painlessly by decompression - and then dove the plane into the ocean - smashing it into a million pieces
------------------------------
about the pilot
The truth, as I discovered after speaking in Kuala Lumpur with people who knew him or knew about him, is that Zaharie was often lonely and sad. His wife had moved out, and was living in the family’s second house. By his own admission to friends, he spent a lot of time pacing empty rooms waiting for the days between flights to go by. He was also a romantic. He is known to have established a wistful relationship with a married woman and her three children, one of whom was disabled, and to have obsessed over two young internet models, whom he encountered on social media, and for whom he left Facebook comments that apparently did not elicit responses. Some were shyly sexual. He mentioned in one comment, for example, that one of the girls, who was wearing a robe in a posted photo, looked like she had just emerged from a shower. Zaharie seems to have become somewhat disconnected from his earlier, well-established life. He was in touch with his children, but they were grown and gone. The detachment and solitude that can accompany the use of social media—and Zaharie used social media a lot—probably did not help. There is a strong suspicion among investigators in the aviation and intelligence communities that he was clinically depressed.
I asked about a motive. He had no idea. He said, “Zaharie’s marriage was bad. In the past he slept with some of the flight attendants. And so what? We all do. You’re flying all over the world with these beautiful girls in the back. But his wife knew.” He agreed that this was hardly a reason to go berserk, but thought Zaharie’s emotional state might have been a factor.

Massachusetts - misc 1984 info
I guess I had spent a day at the State House Library looking at Annual
Town Reports back in 1984.
Westminister - the local comm center is operated by the FD
Worcester - The 911 section of the PD has 33 people to handle 11 911
lines + 3 complaint phone lines + 2 switchboard lines - "2 phones on
each desk for fire and ambulance calls" (?ring down phones from the
Police dispatch office to Fire Alarm and EMS Dispatch?)
Worcester - The ambulance budget is under the City Hospital - 83/84 saw
$381,000 for salaries, and $183,000 for maintenance and general expenses
Worcester - The FD is planning for a new station at Grafton and Ernest
Ave - the telephone circuits to each fire station were given up as too
costly - radio dispatch is used now - the FCC may force the FD to change
freqs (abandon 460.525 in other words IIRC)
Arlington - FD - 26 major fires - $246,000 dollar loss at structure
fires - the FY85 town valuation was $1,219,991,200 - the Arlington
Selectmen are not satisfied with the proposed level of ALS
Charlton - FD reclassified from ISO Class 8/9 to ISO Class 6/9 - this
will cause savings of 14% in wood buildings, 27% in masonry buildings,
and 24% in fire resistant buildings
Lancaster - Comm Center is staffed by 3 FT and 5 PT dispatchers - they
got a DPW radio and handled 35,000 phone calls (that must be a typo)
Charlemont FD got a new business phone number - 339-8351 - it will ring
at the Fire Chief's house and the Fire Station

Wintry Conditions Over The Rockies, Heavy Rainfall And Flash Flooding
Threat Over The Desert Southwest
Remnant moisture from what was once Tropical Storm Raymond will
continue to produce heavy rainfall and the threat for flash flooding
over the Desert Southwest into Thursday. Some of the flooding could be
locally significant. Heavy snow will be common over the Rockies and
will likely cause hazardous travel conditions.

Re: lets recap NSW Australia FDs 1 more time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_and_Rescue_NSW - FRNSW has 422
engines in 355 stations - so you can see that most stations have just
1 engine - staffing is 3500 FT + 3200 POC + 570 vols with 1 day of
training
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_Rural_Fire_Service -
Stations 2,029 - 3,783 tankers (bush engines) + 62 pumpers (village
engines apparently) + 59 bulk water carriers + 30 fire boats - no
ladders - no heavy rescues - no hazmats
that makes sense - typically 1 city engine per FRNSW station -
typically 2 bush engines per Rural FD station
so - bottom line - its basically a city engine FD vs a bush engine FD
- but they have stations within 1 or 2 miles of each other all over
the place
to fully integrate the 2 agencies its seems you would just need to add
some SCBA and some turnout gear and proper training to some of the
Rural FD engines - and maybe give them bigger pumps - maybe not -
maybe the pumps are big enough already since they use high pressure
hose reels iirc (both city and rural engines)
you would probably have to start paying the bush firefighters also -
but that could cost alot - but its only fair - or maybe you could
phase out half of the rural stations - especially if you consider what
it costs in terms of man hours to operate the bush engines - they
might be unpaid - but those are manhours that could be used for
something else if they were not running around chasing bush fires all
day long - there is a "real cost" there - it just does not show up in
anyones budgets

lets recap NSW Australia FDs 1 more time
lets do an overview again of the 2 major fire agencies in New South
Wales Australia
they are - NSW Rural Fire - and - Fire Rescue NSW (FRNSW)
1. its seems that all initial dispatching is done by just 2 shared
fire comms centers
2. it also seems that all primary radio comms are done on the same UHF
TRS - but using different Talk Groups for each agency
2A - Rural FD uses 161 Mhz for FG - FRNSW might use UHF for FG
3. generally speaking - their fire stations are intermixed between
each other - except that the major cities and major suburbs just have
FRNSW stations - the smaller cities, smaller suburbs, and rural areas
have a mixture of stations
4. The Rural Fire Service is primarily oriented towards controlling
brush / bush fires
5. FRNSW has approx 400 city pumpers and 30 ladder trucks and 30
rescues and 30 hazmat trucks operating from 350 fire stations - they
have approx 10 new brush trucks also
6. NSW Rural Fire has approx 2,400 fire stations - all staffed by
pager equipped volunteers - fire rigs are mostly 4X4 pumpers - either
with 400 gallons or 800 gallons of water onboard - I think they have
approx 5,000 pumpers / appliances - usually 1 large and 1 small pumper
in each station - plus a patrol truck or SUV or pickup
7. FRNSW staff all have bunker gear and SCBA
8. Rural FD members have orange jump suits - very few of their units
have SCBA - unsure how many though - some villages do get structural
fire protection from the NSW Rural FD

little more info - NSW Australia - fire dispatch
https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=166
there are just 2 fire dispatch centers / centres - 1 at Sydney - and 1
at Newcastle - and they dispatch both FDs (FRNSW and NSW Rural) - and
they also take overflow calls for SES (which I thought had merged into
the FDs)
I suspect that the Rural Fire Stations talk to their District
Firecomms in some areas - and in other areas they talk directly to
Sydney or Newcastle
imagine controlling 2,700 fire stations with just 2 dispatch centers
maybe that is where the Rural Firecomms come into play - maybe they
are staffed whenever there is a major rural fire - taking pressure off
Sydney and Newcastle

Operational Response
2.4 Activations for Rescue are coordinated by the NSW Police.
2.5 Activations for rescue incidents will be received via the NSW
Police VKG RCO to the OCC providing incident details and a rescue
incident number. The rescue incident number is to be recorded in ICON.
2.6 Any activation of an ARB for rescue incidents outside of this SOP
must be immediately notified to the OCC who in turn will notify VKG
RCO.
2.7 The OCC will pass the rescue call, providing all details via the
relevant district 24Hr Contact Number. The District will respond the
ARB in accordance with the Districts call out procedures.
2.8 Where a District is a participant to the NSW RFS Central Dispatch
arrangement the ARB will be dispatched by the OCC.
2.9 A minimum of two (2) qualified and currently certified Rescue
Operators will be responded to all rescue incidents.
2.10 An ARB may provide fire protection at a rescue incident only
where there is sufficient crew to allow both the rescue and fire
operation to be performed safely. Otherwise, an additional resource
must be dispatched to provide fire protection.
2.11 Upon finalisation of a rescue response, the ARB shall complete
required post incident reporting.
------------------------------
this relates to water rescues, car crash rescues, wilderness rescues,
entrapments, urban search and rescue animal rescues, etc
OCC seems to be the 4 fire dispatch centers - so activation follows
this pathway - Police >> OCC >> District FireCom >> rescue team -
however - see 2.8
APPARENTLY - in the suburban areas - the Rural FD stations are
dispatched directly by the 4 fire dispatch centers - however, in the
boondocks, apparently dispatch is done by the 20 District fire
dispatch centers
that makes sense - if the 4 major fire dispatch centers are in builtup
areas - then you might as well let them directly dispatch the
appropriate stations (either FRNSW or NSW Rural) - in the wilderness,
I suspect that the 4 fire dispatch centers will activate the pagers or
tell the 20 district firecoms to activate the pagers - but its
possible that that the 20 district firecom centers are not manned 24/7

NSW Rural FD - SCBA SOP - interesting
Very interesting - there are 2 major fire agencies in NSW Australia.
FRNSW has paid fulltime firefighters and paid on call firefighters who
operate structural pumpers, rescue trucks, aerials, and hazmat trucks.
They operate in the cities and towns. The NSW RURAL Fire Service has
volunteers who operate mostly bushfire trucks. But some of the Rural
fire brigades (rural fire stations) do have SCBA and turnout gear -
apparently these are the "Village 2" stations. (per the following
info)
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/8992/5.1.9-Breathing-Apparatus.pdf
(b) Unless approved otherwise by the relevant Regional Operations
Manager, BA shall only be supplied to brigades with a 'Village 2'
classification under Standards of Fire Cover.
(c) BA shall not be acquired for offensive structural firefighting
purposes unless a personal issue of a full kit of offensive
firefighting protective clothing and equipment is provided to all
relevant BA Operators (BAOs).
(d) Any major firefighting vehicle carrying BA in a brigade must: (i)
carry at least two BA sets, two spare cylinders and a BA Control
Board, (ii) carry all BA sets located in a manner that enables safe,
easy and rapid donning, (iii) be able to carry at least 1500 litres of
water available for firefighting, (iv) be able to provide two attack
hoselines, each 90 metres long and fitted with a fog nozzle with a
flow rate of at least 250 l/min at 700 kPa, using a static water
supply; (v) be able to obtain water through a 65mm hose from a hydrant
up to 90 metres away, (vi) be able to obtain water from an open source
directly into the main pump, and (vii) provide a range of tools and
equipment to enable associated forcible entry, lighting, ventilation
and salvage activities to be conducted. (Note: The above does not
preclude supplementary BA sets being carried on lighter firefighting
vehicles in the same brigade or district.)
(e) Sufficient BA sets shall be acquired such that at least four sets
are likely to be available for use in the first response to a typical
structure fire in BA-equipped brigade areas.

public dials 000 - operator then forwards caller to 1 of 4 fire
dispatch centers - the fire dispatch center then pages either the
closest available RFS station or the closest aailable FRNSW station
(or both)
------------------------------
"The district Firecom is operated via the NSWRFS State Operations in
Sydney and the district Duty Officer (on call 24/7) will monitor the
incident via radio". - not exactly sure what that means - maybe that
means that the RFS has all of their radio dispatchers based in Sydney
- maybe by "district Firecom" they mean local fire radio channel - RFS
might have 20 regional firecoms also (meaning 20 small dispatch
centers)
MAYBE
all initial paging is done by the 4 centers - and then followup comms
are done by someone else
