March 7 1975 - Arlington Mass - church fire photo

https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:j9602640b

photo taken before the FD even arrived - and they were only 600 feet away

that might be the Route 3 beat cop clearing the intersection - he was
assigned to Arlington Center

painters were working at the building - building was a total loss

iirc the fire box at the church activated - and someone pulled the
fire box opposite the church - so the entire Arlington FD rolled at
once - 4 engines, 2 ladders, 1 rescue, 1 deputy chief - (usually it
was just 2 engines, 1 ladder, C2, and the Rescue on box alarms iirc)

E1 E4 L1 R1 C2 came from the station in Arlington Center

E2 L2 came from Highland Station 1 mile away

E3 came from Park Circle Station maybe 2 miles away

first engine ran a 1.5 inch line into the front door under the steeple
- but it was too late

Over 1,000 California homes destroyed in wildfires so far

over 1,000 homes and large structures destroyed in California
wildfires so far - wow

I have not seen this toll announced by main stream media (MSM) yet

https://web.archive.org/web/20200826134629/https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USDHSFEMA/2020/08/26/file_attachments/1526680/FEMA%20Daily%20Ops%20Briefing%2008-26-2020.pdf
- internet archive seems to be screwed up

using multi FG channels

just thinking out loud just thinking outloud

1991 - Los Angeles City - Interstate Bank highrise fire - multi
fireground (FG) channels used - noted in US Fire Admon report irc - or
maybe was noted in city fd after action report

FDNY in VHF days - 153.83 was primary FG channel for everyone - 154.43
was command channel iirc - each battalion had assigned 2ndary and
maybe tertiary FG channels (which were inputs to distant Boro repeater
channels)

FDNY in UHF days - 1 primary FG channel - plus Command channel - plus
extra channels

Boston - Ch 2 153.89 - only to be used for emergencies - then everyone
got HTs - Ch 2 was primary FG - Ch 4 154.265 was 2ndary FG - Ch 3 was
154.22 iirc - maybe used as tertiary FG and as MetroFire

Boston UHF days - Ch 2 is primary FG - Ch 4 is Evac channel at
highrise fires (used by companies above the fire that are evacuating
trapped people)

Washington DC FD - each fire is assigned a group of ?4? channels - one
is a ATG channel - meaning that the BC can use the ATG and be heard on
all 4 channels at the same time

Rural areas - many areas have "water supply" channels - the (ground)
tankers operate on that channel

USFS - 168.20 was a common short range channel for many users - then
maybe 170.00 was added as a A/G channel - then air to air channels
were added - then multi air to air and air to ground channels were
added

Cal Fire - maybe 1960s and 1970s - unit nets and regional nets - then
tac channels added (input to distant repeaters) - then 151.22 as A/G -
then multi A/G channels

more?

at this point - there are apparently just 4 FDs in the county -
Kirksville FD (fully paid - 1 station - county seat) - 2 small cities
(but their stations might be outside the county actually) - and the
Adair County Fire (approx 10 stations)

Adair County Fire has resulted from the merger of approx 5 FDs - from

West Texas explosion

You can also go to
https://www.csb.gov/west-fertilizer-explosion-and-fire-/ - or go to
csb.gov and select completed investigations and scroll down about 10
reports

from the report

CSB identified two factors or conditions that likely contributed to
the intensity of the fire and detonation: (1) the contamination of
FGAN with materials that served as fuel and (2) the nature of the heat
buildup and ventilation of the FGAN storage space.

CSB collected data on similar incidents at the facilities in Bryan,
Texas, and Athens, Texas. These incidents demonstrate that an FGAN
pile can experience a major structure fire without detonating.

Beirut update

BREAKING NEWS

Beirut updates: Officials knew for years that volatile material was
stored at the port but didn't act, records show. The blast killed more
than 100.

Wednesday, August 5, 2020 11:42 AM EST

The thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate that Lebanese officials are
blaming for a huge explosion that devastated Beirut on Tuesday arrived
in the city aboard an ailing, Russian-owned cargo ship that made an
unscheduled stop in the city more than six years ago.

Lebanese customs officials wrote letters to the courts at least six
times from 2014 to 2017, seeking guidance on how to dispose of the
highly combustible material.

notice how they went from 4 platoons to 3 platoons - apparently their
work week went from 40 hours to 56 hours - i imagine for the same pay
- that was a huge change - no other Mass FD has done that AFAIK

exempt signs at railroad crossings

https://youtu.be/ZJwkdRbTd20

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

Those tracks look pretty sorry .. and a does a regular lay person
seeing "Exempt" at a RR Xing know what that means?

REPLY

deloreanman
Exempt does not apply to the general public. It's a sign for school
bus and hazmat drivers telling them they don't need to stop before
crossing the tracks as they normally would. It also doesn't mean the
line is abandoned or out of service as they are sometimes used in
places where it would be dangerous for vehicles to stop (such as in an
intersection).
