2004 - 2 LODD in Philadephia

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/after-it-killed-2-firemen-they-still-use-it.5841/

radios failed in basement of home

16 years later - has anything changed? did Philly get more receiver
sites? MO3s? direct channels? anything?

note - changing from analog to digital is not relevant for purposes of
this discussion

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=2291 - Philly does show 3
fireground channels - all 800 mhz - all simplex - all mobile only -
only 1 has PL - maybe they use these for FG ops - no indication of any
MO3 in use - (no MO3 freqs listed - no MO3 TGs listed - no mention of
patches - no other mention of FG channels)

Maybe - Philly now automatically has all units go to these FG channels
when at any incident - which means the first due pump operator or
first due ladder chauffeur has to keep an ear on 2 channels apparently
(FG and Dispatch or Tactical)
