New Bedford MA FD to close 1 station
https://wbsm.com/new-bedford-fire-dept-ending-controversial-rolling-blackout-policy/
costs $2.7M to operate one company for 1 year
seems kinda high
they operate 10 companies 24/7 - iirc it is 6 engines and 4 ladders -
from 6 stations - so they could change the ladders to quints and cut 4
engine companies - then their 'first company to building fire response
time' would pretty much stay the same - and response time to EMS calls
would stay the same - but backup would be slower to arrive - unless
they got Opticom or speeded up their dispatch process

208 brought the moose trailer - er - foam trailer
rescue truck 215 also responded
Station 2 territory - level 3 building alarm (sorta)
first engine arrived at 650 and reported "extinguishment required"

53 minutes - 40 firefighters - I think their standard staffing is 5
people per engine - yup - seems to match the response (8 rigs X 5
people each)

Frozen berries have Hep A
FDA Sampling Frozen Berries for Harmful Viruses
January 22, 2020
As of September 30, 2019, the FDA has tested 339 domestic samples and
473 import samples of frozen berries.
Of the frozen berries sampled, the FDA found genetic material from
hepatitis A virus in five samples and genetic material from norovirus
in eight samples, using multiple-laboratory validated RT-qPCR methods
for the detection of hepatitis A virus and norovirus viral sequences
in soft fruit. These 13 samples were then further tested by another
method called Sanger sequencing to see if the viral material could be
further characterized by examining a separate, distinct section of the
viral genomes. Nine of the 13 samples could be further characterized
using this technique. When the FDA detected genetic material from
hepatitis A virus or norovirus in a sample, the agency notified the
firm of the finding(s) and worked with them to take appropriate action
to protect the public health.

111 floor highrise being built in Jakarta
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_Tower_Jakarta
300 foot pilings
being built by China
note - Jakarta FD just has 4 snorkels - no aerials - maybe their
tallest snorkel is a 400 footer which will get you to floor 40 (kinda)
probably the real question is - how many helios do they have? do they
know how to use them? do they have good scba? do they have good fire
protection engineers? do they have good 2 way radios? do they know how
to use them? do they have drones? do they have a LZ on the roof?
most of their fire stations have just 1 pumper - and they seem to be 2
miles apart usually
2019 newspaper article says they need 100 more fire stations but there
is no land to build them on - because they have 1 million motor
scooter repair shops taking up all the land
many of their major roads are only 10 feet wide (outside downtown)

where is the smoke?
which way is the wind blowing?
where is the fire heading?
where is the smoke heading?
where are the victims?
where are the victim heading?
also
for a highrise - top floor is a bad place - neutral plane will decide
if smoke blows in or out of bld
for hospital / nursing home and prisons - victims cannot be evacuated "easily"
for industrial complex - hazards of explosions and large scale
structural collapses and hazmats and large scale fluid releases
for structures under construction - watch out
for modern structures - what fire control features are in place? -
blowers - sprinklers - fire doors - PA system - detectors - etc

Boston MedFlight radio traffic
listening to 461.45
dispatcher just mentioned "Company" after some helo said something
I wonder if the dispatcher was telling the helo to switch over to the

or maybe the dispatcher was answering on the 'Company' channel
and now the dispatcher just said OK Med 5 after a 1 minute pause
if I had to guess - I would guess that Med 5 and the dispatcher both
just switched over to the 'Company Channel' for a quick chat - I
wonder if it is 130.45 or something at 130 Mhz
many airlines have 'Company' channels at 130 Mhz

700 fire deaths in 1992
FIRE PREVENTION IN ENGLAND AND WALES Summary and conclusions
1 In 1990, fire brigades in England and Wales were called to over
400,000 fires, with more than 700 people killed and some 12,000
injured. The main aim of fire prevention is to reduce the incidence of
fire and so protect people and property. This involves complex tasks
and many different organisations.
2 The Home Office role in fire prevention stems from their
responsibilities for aspects of safeguarding life as reflected in a
wide range of legislation, especially the Fire Precautions Act 1971.
They also have overall responsibility within central government for
the Fire Service. However, it is important to recognise that there are
limits on how directly the Home Office can act in areas which are
predominantly the responsibility of fire authorities and brigades. For
example, they cannot direct fire brigades to devote resources to fire
prevention or enforce fire precautions. They therefore have to rely on
persuasion and issue advice and guidance. In meeting their
responsibilities the Home Office co-operate not only with fire
authorities and brigades but also with other government departments
and with private sector bodies such as those representing insurers and
manufacturers of fire prevention equipment.
3 The Home Office themselves spend approximately fl5 million a year on
fire-related matters. But the bulk of fire prevention expenditure is
incurred by the Fire Service on the inspection and certification of
buildings such as hotels, offices, shops and factories. Even so, fire
prevention receives only a small percentage of the El.2 billion spent
annually on the Fire Service.
4 This report examines the incidence and cost of fire and the
arrangements for fire safety and prevention in different types of
building.
The main findings and conclusions are: (a) Fires, fire casualties and
fire losses are increasing. There were 120,000 fires in 1960 compared
to 401,000 in 1990. Over the same period deaths rose from 430 to 740 a
year and injuries from 3,100 to 11,600 a year. Insured losses from
fires were more than .Cl billion in 1991 (paragraphs 2.1 to 2.5 and
2.8).

Online info about USA FDs
many USA FDs seem to have moved their online presence to Facebook
websites have not been updated in 5 to 10 years
there is never any notifications that the website has not been updated
in 10 years
trying to find out if a FD has any substations is ridiculously hard on
Facebook - one usually has to scroll backwards thru photos until a
fire station appears
Facebook does usually have good map locations of most FD HQs - that
seems to be mandated in the sign up process - apparently Facebook
requires a street address for a FD HQ - or they require that an icon
be dragged to the map location
Facebook usually has a business phone number for each FD HQ also -
sometimes it is the only way to find the address and/or phone number
of a FD HQ via the Internet - many FD websites have very scant info
about HQ locations or sub station locations - its kind of funny -
there will be pictures of every firefighter, vehicle, station,
funeral, party, etc - but many times there is no mention of sub
stations nor their addresses
Bottom line - you can search Google using "location name" or "FD name"
and the word "fire" - (ie - 'Boston Fire' - 'Los Angele Fire' - no
need for quote marks when searching) - typically websites and
facebook pages will pop up - and many times links to
firedepartment.net and home town locator also appear - plus yelp
listings
recently I have come across a half dozen rural fire stations that were
built in the last 2 or 3 years - yet they dont appear on the FD
websites/Facebooks nor at hometownlocator nor at firedepartment.net -
usually this info pops up in searches of assessors databases and news
media articles - searching Google for "new fire station" and a
community name or a county name might be worthwhile

Butte County CA FD radio protocol
they use the 'pick up the mike and just start talking" protocol
Eng 41 - "Engine 41 available in response area"
Dispatcher - "Engine 41 756" (time is 756 local)

they have a vfd with a 1952 pumper - had a big boat fire in 2017 -
clinic and ems squad handle ems - clinic has RN and PA - per google
I suspect that the ems system is - throw person on luggage cart - drag
to pier - load in float plane - because there is no way to reach a
hospital via boat in under 2 hours from the looks of things

1974 emergency telephone number was someone home apparently
---------------------
they have a scanner feed now - but the noon test from Machias was not
heard - maybe the real freq is 154.145? or they have a PL on 154.19?
they might have a repeater (FB2) - and they might have a MO3 on the
ambulance also - when I listened to the feed they seem to have a tail
on field unit messages - they are dispatched and followed by
"Washington"
per facebook - they got a new ambulance in 2019

london highrise fire
I dont agree with the last comment - blaming "others" is no good - the
FD should have known about the cladding - there must have been other
similar major fires around the world before this one - there is video
of the first outside line going into operation - they were almost able
to kill the fire but maybe the stream was 5 feet short iirc

11 minute video - everyone can understand this lecture - no math - no
biology - no physics - no chemistry - just plain talk from a MD
keep in mind - there is lots of stuff going on at the cellular level I
am sure - this video does not get into that
acute respiratory distress system can be treated by - putting patients
on belly + sedating + low tidal volume respirator
low tidal volume = little air in and little air out - (as compared to normal)
