the odyssey begins - lets see if I can find a listing of all the
industrial FDs near Houston

I see cima command post also

the refineries near Houston Texas must have 100 to 200 industrial fire
trucks - its a hugely huge deal

a few of the industrial FDs are listed here -

Clark County OH - public safety info

https://www.clarkcountyohio.gov/documentcenter/view/4608

2020 resource directory has fire station numbers plus radio freqs -
also has 1 industrial FD listed (Navistar)

most standby generators seem to have a 24 hour supply of propane

alternative staffing scenario for arlington mass fd

here is a proposal for an alternative staffing schedule for the
Arlington Fire Department

3 shifts -

10 PM to 6 AM - awake crews - 12 hour shift - 1 quint and 2 ambulances
- total of 7 people on duty

6 AM to 6 PM - awake crews - 12 hour shift - 3 fire engines and 3
ambulances on duty - total of 15 people on duty

10 AM to 10 PM - awake crews - 12 hour shift - 3 fire engines and 3
ambulances on duty - total of 15 people on duty

during the overlap hours from 10 AM to 6 PM there would be 6 fire
engines and 6 ambulances on duty staffed by 30 people

this huge increase in daytime staffing would be possible due to the
recognition of the fact that there is very little traffic on the road
between 10 PM and 6 AM, that an awake crew can respond 2 minutes
faster than an asleep crew, and the fact that there are very few calls
between 10 PM and 6 AM

(I am just writing this up on the fly - it needs some tweeking -
arlington doesnt really need 6 fire engines and 6 ambulances at any 1
time - 3 EMS calls at once only happens once per month it seems - this
could be confirmed by looking at the incidents that got a response
from Lexington, Belmont, or Winchester Rescues - usually it happens on
weekends when Armstrong Ambulance is downstaffed)

Jan 2020 assessment of Springfield OH FD

https://springfieldohio.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Strategic-Plan-2020.pdf

pop went from 80K to 60K since 1970s but EMS runs are 4X higher

fire trucks are all old - old firemen are angry

city is 18% black - perhaps there is an unspoken problem in the city

Kettering OH has 57 firefighters

https://storage.googleapis.com/proudcity/ketteringoh/uploads/2019/05/2018-Fire-Annual-Report-cropped.pdf

apparently all 57 firefighters are paramedics

Forbes Forest District is supported by 487 VFDs

http://www.docs.dcnr.pa.gov/cs/groups/public/documents/document/dcnr_20033677.pdf

washington county pennsylvania area

they have slipon pumps for pickup trucks and atvs and hose and
portable pumps - state forestry concentrates on inaccessible areas -
VFDs handle the rest

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

"As of January 2018, Forbes Forest District has 83 trained volunteer
forest fire wardens with crews and equipment and 22 district employee
forest fire wardens who help suppress wildfires. Forest Fire Wardens
have been engaged in forest fire protection work in Pennsylvania for
over 100 years"

I think this means that 22 state employees serve as leaders of some
volunteer "state" wildfire firefighters (paid by state or have
insurance thru state) - plus 83 other non state employees lead 83 (non
state employees) volunteer forest fire crews (and I suspect that most
of those people are members of local VFCs - so they get insurance thru
their VFCs)

I suspect that all of the forest fire equipment is either owned by the
state or the VFCs - I dont think that most of volunteer forest fire
wardens have any equipment of their own - many of the volunteer forest
fire wardens might actually be local VFC chiefs or local VFC deputy
chiefs

Actually - maybe the 83 wardens are VFC people with helpers - and the
22 state employees are kinda independent (dual hatted state employees
who also do maintenance work on the state forests)

not enough PPE for FDs

today is peak death day in Massachusetts

https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/massachusetts

today is peak day for covid deaths - 135 deaths are projected

we are short 687 ICU beds - so I guess that means that 687 people will
die today and in the following week because they could not get into an
ICU bed today

seems like a BIG NEWS STORY to me

Arlington Mas - canceled code in field today

first time I have ever heard this in Arlington Mass

a working cardiac arrest was cancelled in the field - patient was not
transported to hospital via ambulance - ALS was on scene and
apparently they spoke to 'medical control' who canceled the
resuscitation attempt - presumably the body was left at the scene with
a police officer; and the medical examiner or an undertaker grabbed
the body

I am pretty sure that Maryland has had this protocol in place for 2 to
5 years - Massachusetts apparently has not - maybe this was enacted
quickly in Massachusetts due to the covid pandemic

this is very scary - [delete] - just believe me - it is

riddle me this also - how many in Arlington or Massachusetts will
recognize the significance of this? is there zero significance? or is
there non zero significance?

2 alarm fire

info from Blue Hills FD in CT

The need for firefighters is as old as fire itself and always ongoing.
We won't sugar coat it—the work is physically and emotionally
demanding but, when you go on your first call and see that you can
make a difference in somebody's life by helping them, it makes you
feel good inside.

Firefighters are respected in the community for their service and
integrity. We don't stop helping once a fire is extinguished. We
help people who have lost their homes by working with the American Red
Cross and do everything in our power to assist those who have
experienced an emergency situation.

The firefighting community is a brotherhood and sisterhood like no
other. If you would like to consider joining us, please fill out this
application form.

there you have it - he is fully aware of the huge implications - and

I suppose we can dither over exactly when he knew that 2.2M was the

if you were President and you heard mention of something going on in
China - what would you do? blow it off? or start to plan for the
worst?

what would the worst be? thats simple - 100% kill rate.

what would be the best case? just 1 person dies in USA

then you ask fema and cdc and hhs how well prepared they are

cdc dr redfield on npr at 442 pm edt

wbur fm - cdc guy - we were perfect - basically thats whats he saying

he says the bad reagent was handled well - problem was discovered and fixed

443 pm - interview cut out 2 times - maybe its my radio

dr redfield from cdc was interviewed - he is the director iirc

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

lets review - cdc swung immediately into action and immediately their
tests started to fail

seems to me that no one was testing the tests as they waited for a
pandemic to start somewhere in the world

why ? - billions supposedly were spent on preparedness - and the very
first thing they do is a FAIL

no clear answer given why WHO tests were not used - question was
referred to FDA (maybe their approval process was corrupted or a fail)

yesterday 461.45 was fairly busy

Boston Med Flight was fairly busy on 461.45 yesterday

but the day before the channel was essentially dead

??????

I think that they might call 461.45 their "company" channel -
yesterday MF1 was trying to talk to Templeton Fire but he was
transmitting on 461.45 - the BMF dispatcher came up on 461.45 and said
"company channel" - nothing more was heard after that - I assume that
was the dispatcher telling MF1 that he was still on the 'company
channel' and he needed to switch over to Templeton Fire channel

the Templeton Fire channel in the BMF Med 1 helo is 'VHF Channel 152'
on 155.9400 with TX and RX PL of 15

the BMF dispatcher initially told Med 1 that Templeton Fire was on
155.94 PL 15 but the helo had no clue about that so the dispatcher had
to look up the channel in the radio for the helo crew

Hadano Japan - fire brigade info

https://www.city.hadano.kanagawa.jp/www/contents/1001000000967/index.html

Hadano is 40 miles SW of downtown Tokyo

the 'fire brigade' is the volunteers

the 'fire department' is the paid guys

vols have 36 stations - paid guys have 5 stations

paid stations are 1 to 2 air miles apart from each other

vols have 36 small pumpers and small trucks with portable pumps

paid guys have 9 larger pumpers and maybe 3 ladders and misc other units

picture shows one of the small vol pumpers in a vol station

all of the vol stations are 1 bay and 2 storys - some of them are only
700 feet apart

I think that vols only get alerted for huge fires and disasters and typhoons

looks like "pumps" do not carry any water - but they do have a hose
cart or pump cart

"tanks" have 500 gallon water tanks

so I am guessing that their procedure is - pump goes up the alley as
far as possible - then a hose is laid back to the "tank" to get tank
water - and pump operators have to hunt around for cisterns or
hydrants

The Covid19 story - what should have happened

https://publicsafetyusa.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-covid-19-story.html

what should have happened versus what actually happened

3 short paragraphs

The COVID-19 Story

The story should have been short and sweet. A couple of cases of strange pneumonia popped up in Wuhan. Local health officials trace the victims and contacts. People are quarantined. Spread is held to 20 or 30 people. Maybe 200 or 300 people.

But what actually happened was - initial investigation shows that open market was owned by VIP or secret lab had accidentally released virus. Local health officials did not want to go to jail for life. So they started a coverup. Cases exploded. Beijing got word and heads started to roll.

Meanwhile in the United States, the military knew about the virus within 1 week. Maybe the President was notified. Nothing was done for 3 months or more.

Now the US stock market is down 40% - thousands have died agonizing deaths - all of the USA is in lockdown - and the rich have 2 trillion more to play with. The rest of the world has suffered similarly.

When this comes to an end, whenever that may be, they'll say only X
number of people died (from coronavirus, listed on the death cert).
Six months later, studies will show that it was actually magnitudes
higher, indirect (no room for normal care) and direct

Normally in NYC 20-25 people die at home each day. We are now at
200-215. Every day. For sure nearly all the increase is people w/
coronavirus. But not all are being counted that way. One reason that
the official NYC covid death count--already high--is certainly an
undercount.

since then we've been going up to our present of 2.9%. Overall case

usa hospitals have 60,000 full feature vents and 100,000 basic vents

the national CDC stockpile has 12,500 vents

on Thursday Jared and Admiral said 7,600 vents had been pushed to
states - unknown which stockpile they came from

Info from Saturday - USA should peak on April 15 and need 31,000 vents

kinda looks like we might squeak by - if they can do some fancy
footwork in the next week - should not be that hard to load up some
empty jetliners with vents and respiratory techs and fly them wherever
they are needed
