who carrys lighter fluid around?
how can you see a light skinned black person in a car at 1 am if you are drunk?
why didnt anyone at hospital call the police?

no mention of the black EMT that got burned
In a statement, Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said a "firebomb"
that was tossed through a window of the City-County Building landed
near the county's 911 Center and started a small fire, which was
quickly put out but forced the evacuation of staff and the activation
of the backup 911 center.

tokyo downtown stations
reviewed info today on the district 1 fire stations in tokyo - this is
the downtown area
it certainly is typical for large stations and small stations to have 2 pumpers
ambulances are scattered around
chief vans are usually at the larger stations - as are the ladders -
but not always
the volunteer stations downtown might use hand drawn portable pumps
more than mini pumpers - which would explain why the volunteer
stations looks so tiny
there might be 3 types of fulltime pumpers - pumpers that carry 5 tons
of water - pumpers that carry 2 tons of water - chemical pumpers
(which apparently carry some foam concentrate)
there might be a 4th type of fulltime pumper that carrys no water at
all - but that might be for just the most congested of neighborhoods

Tokyo FD changed their call answering script for 119 calls
https://www.tfd.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/hp-kanda/info.html
not exactly sure when this was done
--------------------------
The Tokyo Fire Department has changed the hearing guidelines for the
119th report etc. from Friday, June 28, 1883.
<New>
"Fire Department, is it a fire or ambulance?"
" Please tell me the address to which the ambulance (fire engine) is going. "
<Old>
"Fire department, is it a fire or ambulance?"
" There How many wards and what towns ?"
With the development of communication methods, it is no longer
necessary to report from home or work, so we changed in this way to
facilitate communication with the caller. ..

2019 Tokyo FD Annual Report
https://www.tfd.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/hp-soumuka/gyouseigaiyou_e/data/annual_report_2019_06.pdf#page=1
total budget - 55 billion yen - 4 billion yen pays for the volunteers
income - 45 billion from OTHER - ????
I think the volunteer pumpers are owned by the individual cities
within Metro Tokyo - because the total number of pumpers is given as
489 - and if you add up the engines from the various districts it
comes to 489 approx - and that looks like the number of paid engines -
I will have to double check my map
I probably posted about this before - I think the bottom line is - 489
full size paid pumpers - plus maybe 500 volunteer minipumpers (which
are housed in 500 single bay 2 floor volunteer fire stations
throughout Metro Tokyo - even downtown)

tokyo fd organization
iirc the tokyo fd is set up like this
FD HQ is downtown - approx 20 story highrise - admin and east dispatch
center is here - no fire trucks here iirc - or actually - there is a
fire station or fire station branch next door iirc
Fire station divisions: 3
Fire stations: 81
Fire station branches: 207
10 districts
3 divisions - each division hq has a division chief and a usar team
10 district HQs - each has a district chief apparently - these are all
shared locations afaik - none has any assigned dedicated fire vehicles
maybe - except for a command cae or a mobile command post maybe - like
a typical USA FD
(I have to go back and look at my Tokyo FD map again - I dont think
that I ever realized that they had 10 district HQs - might explain
some of the funny listings)
maybe 100 "fire stations" - each "fire station" has a fire station
chief command van + 1 or 2 engines plus 1 ladder plus 1 ambulance -
typically 4 or more bays - some of these are 10 stories tall
maybe 100 "branch fire stations" - typically 2 bays - either 2 engines
or 1 engine plus 1 ambulance - no command van - no ladder
separate special divisions have the helicopters and the boats
lets see what wikipedia says - OK got it - revised the material above
come to think of it - some locations might have a division HQ + a FD
HQ + a branch sta - some locations might have a FD HQ + a branch
station - many locations are just branch stations
maybe if I see a "fire station" with 2 pumpers and a ladder - maybe it
is actually a "FD station" plus a "branch station" in the same bld
I can go back thru the Tokyo FD pages and figure this out

Sagamihara City Fire Department South Fire Department Sobudai Branch

american version is - sagamihara fd - south battalion or south
division - Sobudai station - Sobudai Ladder 1
which is not to say that there is a 2nd ladder at that station - that
would be very rare afaik - maybe tokyo has 1 station with 2 aerials
come to think of it - in tokyo - it is also very rare for a Branch

would be very rare afaik - maybe tokyo has 1 station with 2 aerials
come to think of it - in tokyo - it is also very rare for a Branch
Station to have an aerial - usually it is just 1 or 2 engines and
usually 1 ambulance

Mandaluyong, Philippines - volunteers go to call
https://youtu.be/yYlHlz2fyUU
"for verification" alarm - at huge mall
I guess this is equivalent to a first alarm
the big red truck off on the right side on arrival looks like a BFP
paid engine - all the rest look like volunteer engines (maybe 10
volunteer engines)
Mandaluyong is one of the cities adjacent to Manila - it is in the
National Capital Region - the first 10 minutes of the video is the
response - they pass many huge skyscrapers - I dont know how much the
volunteers can do at a highrise fire - I dont know how much they can
do at a mall fire either for that matter
The BFP organizational scheme for the National Capital Region is -
District 1 is the City of Manila (20 stations downtown) - Districts
2,3,4 are cities or groups of cities adjacent to Manila - District 5
is Quezon City which has approx 25 stations north of Manila
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Manila - Natl Capitol Region - 5th
most populous area in the world - 16 cities - 239 square miles - 12
million population
seems they have 500 pumpers, 100 tankers and 15 ladder trucks -
including all the volunteers

but I dont know if they are officially connected to Manila FD
the dispatch for the vol engine might go like this - phone call to 911
or 117 - call info given to Manila FD Dispatch - Manila FD Dispatch
Center dispatches Manila FD units - maybe Manila FD Dispatch Center
also sends message to TXTFIRE Dispatch Center - maybe not
TXTFIRE might jump the call by listening to Manila FD radio - or gets
"tips" from Manila firefighters - or maybe TXTFIRE members hear sirens
and look for smoke - and then call the TXTFIRE telo number or call in

scroll down for a couple of photos
this is the HQ for the Manila Fire District - they have approx 20
stations down town - approx 15 people per station - they might work 24
on 24 off - each station usually has just 1 pumper - I think that
just 1 station has any aerial trucks - and that station has 2 ladders
- I am not sure if this HQ has a dispatch office - its just a 4 story

really crazy Manila fire video
https://youtu.be/NfC5DBFdBi4
high speed wrong way on highway
with probably 10 guys hanging on the top
question - what would have been the difference in fire outcome if they
responded without lights and siren? if the traffic lights were timed
and the cops cleared out the traffic near the fire - using the lights
and siren probably slowed them down
some radio traffic heard - not in english

I think y'all made scene in pretty good time considering the distance
and the traffic on 141 and 95. What I will never understand though is
why people can not seem to GTFO of our way. Other countries do it so
much better than we do here. In Germany I think it is, if there is
stopped traffic on the highway, you are supposed to move left or right
and leave the center lane open for emergency vehicles. Here, forget
about them moving right, they almost never do. Lights and sirens don't
mean anything to anybody. You don't know how many times I just want to
push them out of the way. But you know, the same ones that refuse to
move out of our way are the first ones to complain when we don't get
to their dying relative or burning house on time.

maybe there needs to be a national fire museum at emmetsburg where
these old rigs can graze freely - a gofundme page could probably raise

Re: Phillipines 911 got 18M calls in 2019
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-1-1_(Philippines)
Phillipines has 16 911 centers
serve the entire country
sounds good - but I wonder who does the actual dispatching? who
dispatches ambulances in Manila? the police? via 600 different
telephone numbers?
there is some sort of coordinated ems system in manila - it might just
be a licensing system - but I saw a sign outside a volunteer fire
station in Manila that had their ems / forest responder (license /
agency) number - so apparently there are some sort of rules in place

I was looking for this "fire station" yesterday but couldn't find it
I am not sure what the deal is here - but the gig sign on right side
of driveway does say police sub sta and fire sub sta - I think the
black truck is civil defense - is that a big white aerial ladder in
there to the far right?
there is a different citys fire station 2 blocks away to the east with
1 small mini pumper at a police station
I assume all the vendors clear out if there is ever an emergency call

took them 12 minutes to find their way to the fire - cops sent them in
wrong direction - then they had to go down tiny alleyways
me thinks they need better radio comms and preplans - they could set
up staging areas or muster areas for each slum - but they act more
like swarm than a FD - which is what you get with 300 VFDs in 1 city

USFS Service Net channels in California
these "service net" channels typically have fewer repeaters than the
forest net channels and the admin net channels - the service net
channels are typically used for dispatcher to IC comms on larger
wildfires (where there is no cellphone service) - the service net
channels have been historically shared by groups of Natl Forests -
possibly they are moving to supply each Natl Forest in Calif with
their own service net channel - and they might be doing the same with
the law enforcement net channels
in the end - each national forest in california will end up with 4
repeater nets - forest + admin + law enforcement + service - plus
maybe a flight follow channel also

153.89 R in san diego county
just noticed that it is listed twice in the 2020 MACS list - once with
PL on the output - once without
this might mean something - do they have different output PLs on
various repeaters?

this says 3 cops shot - 2 in leg - 1 in chest
radio traffic that I heard was - 1 shot in stomach and 1 superficial
wound to leg
lets just say there was lots of confusion
no mention of serious injury to chp cop - so I will assume that the
"stomach wound" was a shot to chest that was stopped by vest - maybe
he was not admitted to hospital
maybe it would have been useful to use dogs - but you have to watch
out for kids and civilians - can a police dog be controlled via remote
voice commands or commands via radio device?

best scheme for fd portable radio IDs
at Station 22
Pump 22 - Pumper 22 - Nob 22 - Plug 22 - Barney 22 - Charlie 22 - Delta 22 - Xray 22 - Zebra 22
Wagon 22 - Wagon Driver 22 - Flow 22 - Adam 22 - Boyd 22 / Barney 22 - Charlie / Charles / Chuck 22 / Smith 22 / Afrida 22 / Ramon 22 / first name 22 / last name 22
that is 3 pumpers in 1 station - which is ultra rare and weird anyhow
Ladder 22 - Ladder driver 22 - Roof 22 - Tiller 22 - Hook 22 - Entry 22 - Escape 22 - etc
Aerial 22 - Aerial Driver 22 - 22 smith - 22 jones - etc - no stations have 2 aerials so this is moot anyhow
note - alpha bravo charlie delta are usually sides of the bld - would not want to conflict with that terminology
lets make this a nationwide scheme - merge all FDs into county fds - number all stations by county 1 to 300
then the nationwide callsign would be simple to remember and unique - - Los Angeles County Engine 522 - the only conflict would arise when a county name is used in more than 1 state - which probably happens alot for Washington / Jefferson / Lincoln / Greene / Orange - etc - but can be fixed easily - Washington County Maryland Engine 1 - Washington County Lousiaina Engine 1 - etc
radio IDs would be simple to program into radios - use FPIS code? - or use State Number + County Number + Engine Number - Allegheny County (?1?) Maryland (?25?) Engine1 would be Engine 25-1-1

Manila area fire info - 2017
https://www.ifsec.events/philippines/visit/news-and-updates/tragedy-fires-death-and-destruction-philippines
National Capitol Region = 12 million population = Manila plus adjacent cities and suburbs
3,000 government firefighters with 139 trucks
volunteers have approx 600 brigades - probably with 10 or 20 people each - plus at least 1 fire truck each
so my guess on total volunteer fire forces is - 600 trucks and 6,000 volunteers
for a grand total of 700 trucks and 9,000 firefighters
NYC population is 8 million - with 10,000 firefighters and approx 500 trucks
bottom line - overall the totals look somewhat equivalent
but I think that the Manila fire dispatch system is much more fragmented - I think that the government has their own fire dispatch system - and the volunteers have 2 or 3 dispatch systems that they use
god only knows what radio channels are used
I am not sure if the vols have any scba or not - and the vols might not really staff their stations during the daytimes - and I dont know if they actually have people in the volunteer stations at night or not

23 minute daytime video - yesterday - Paco area - ancestral home totally destroyed - very little fire or smoke showing when they finally got there
7:00 - 'dont know where we are going - just looking for smoke or other fire trucks'
radio traffic was apparently - first alarm - smoke showing - then 2nd alarm - just female dispatcher heard
10 guys on the truck - some up top apparently
just 2 guys with scba at scene
just 1 guy with white helmet
didnt notice any city fire trucks at scene - maybe 20 volunteer trucks at scene
2nd truck feeds first truck - 3rd truck feeds 2nd truck - 4th truck feeds 3rd truck - etc etc

San Jose CA - 30 minute video - brush fire
https://youtu.be/jqjhwHfVmns
16:00 - hand crew goes in - fire front is only 100 feet away - no hose line
Boston would just drag in a 2.5 inch hoseline and put the fire out - except maybe if Boston had a 500 foot hill to contend with - no I take that back - I bet that Boston does have 500 foot hills in the woods - I know we have them in the suburbs
but California has to roll in the dozers and helicopters and airtankers and hand crews and command posts and tanker trucks
tanker trucks - what the heck were they doing with tanker trucks in that neighborhood? I bet they dont even have portable tanks for the helios to draft from

akzo nobel inspection report
https://ofmpub.epa.gov/apex/tocar/tocar/resp/attach/4741
this is what happens when the inspector arrives unannounced and there is a fire
$35K fine
fire mentioned on pg 3 of 8 - also see 'operator D license' on pg 3 - ooops
call me looney but what are the odds that they staged the fire to slow down the inspector - but they didnt slow him down enough
Redlands and ITC fires

is there a problem with the granting of "equivalencys"?
(I think an 'equivalency' is when a fire engineer rules that the fire code can be ignored if an equivalent measure is taken to minimize risk - but I dont know of this really a thing or not)
note to self - do some research on equivalencys
call when needed - do tell
https://fireaviation.com/2020/05/30/two-cwn-large-airtankers-to-be-activated/
question - if the aircraft were not activated for 90 days minimum - what would they be doing all summer long?
question - what happens if there is a late fire season? will they fly from september to november?
question - at what point does the term "call when needed" lose all meaning?
