Boston Mass - video from crash scene - Egleston Square

https://youtu.be/Yx85lAjrabM

pickup truck bashed good - car on sidewalk

victim hobbles to ambulance

London UK - 200 foot aerial on practice run downtown

https://youtu.be/i6oCJAQBCeg

they are a bit bigger than the double decker buses - but not much

california crash caught live

https://youtu.be/XGF5nkB5tQk

disabled car on freeway hit at high speed

no major injuries believe it or not

good samaritans risk their lives to help

my thought - if they got those truckers to block a few lanes - might
have been safer - maybe not - bad situation all around

Re: [Public Safety USA Blog] ANF had 2 calls

I5 north at templin was a 'vehicle fire' call - they held 1 engine and
1 patrol at the scene - cancelled the rest of the units about 10
minutes after dispatch

ANF had 2 calls

(3 beeps probably) - Area 12 - I5 Northbound at Templin Hwy - E10 E12
E13 LPF374 E512 Crew2 WT10 WT25 Pat11 Pat12 Bat11 Bat12

2 beeps - vehicle over side - Mt Baldy mile marker 2.4 - Eng 25 + Eng
326 + Patrol 25 + Battalion 21

odds and ends from eDispatches

Williamstown MA - "all call" pager signal is transmitted for
automatic fire alarm from a building

Glacier County MT - Liberty County Fire + Joplin Rural Fire + Cut Bank
FD + Sunburst EMS - Cut Bank seemed to do a radio test at 730 am - 5
people answered - Sunburst EMS A31 was paged by "Hill County" for a
"BLS Yellow" response

Haines Alaska tests fire and ems pagers at noon - also - EMS got paged
to meet a victim enroute to the clinic - he had a numb right hand

Hoopa Vols got paged to protect blds near a brush fire - that came up
on the Humboldt County CA listing - audio was not very good - on 5/30
at 1502 and 1509

Tulare County at eDispatches.com - California

in California

for Porterville - they have the following alerts - Porterville Sta 1 +
Porterville Sta 2 + Porterville Sta 3 + Structure FD +
PortervilleInvstgr

spelling might be a little off on some of them

When the structure page went out the dispatcher was heard to say "all stations"

Porterville Sta 1 has Engine 71

there is a 2nd FD also in Tulare County on eDispatches - maybe is
Visalia - they have a page labelled as "BC_First_Alarm" - rollover
crash got Truck 51 + Truck 55 + Bat 54 - gas in apt got - Truck 51 +
Eng 52 + Eng 53 + Eng 56 + Bat 54

Using eDispatches.com to aid scanning

https://call-log-api.edispatches.com/calls/index.php

looks to me that they are archiving all alerts for 2 days

so if you miss a call or address - you can go back and listen a 2nd time

searching by county seems to work well - set hits at 500 when you search

ANF on eDispatches

https://call-log-api.edispatches.com/calls/index.php

just searched here for Los Angeles County - 500 hits maximum - only
got approx 12 hits - all are ANF - and only from May 30 and May 31 -
they seem to have 2 pages - one seems to be "WildlandBrush" and
possibly is a 2 tone pager signal for chiefs - the other page is
listed as "USDA-ANF" - they appear to trigger a new "USDA-ANF" page at
eDispatch everytime they hit the tone - whether it be 1 tone to
cancel, 2 tones for a rescue, or 3 tones for a brush fire

this is Angeles National Forest in California

Hoopa Indian Reservation - fire dept info - California

https://www.hoopa-nsn.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Community-Wildfire-Protection-Plan.pdf
- 2018

4.2 Protection capabilities In 1991, the Hoopa Valley Indian
Reservation, through the self-governance process, compacted the
Wildland Fire Program from the BIA and formed the Hoopa Volunteer Fire
Company (HVFC). Since then fire protection on the reservation is
undertaken by the Hoopa Wildland Fire Company (HWFC) and the Hoopa
Volunteer Fire Company (HVFC). The HWFC is supported by ten full-time
members, seven temporary members, and six seasonal members. They are
responsible for wildland fires and are under the jurisdiction of Hoopa
Forestry. Their apparatuses include: four type-3 engines, two type-4
quick attack engines, and one water tender. The HVFC, established by
the tribal council, is an all-risk organization that deals with
structural fires and provides fire services to all residents within
the reservation boundaries. It consists of 14 volunteers, and their
apparatuses include: one type-1 engine, one type-3 engine, one rescue
utility vehicle, a command vehicle, and a Yamaha jet outboard unit.
During the fire offseason the HWFC maintains a "skeleton crew" to
staff an engine 365 days a year. Volunteer Fire generally has at least
3-5 volunteers on call 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Both
programs are trained in ICS and pertinent emergency response programs.
The HWFC works through the use of Mutual Aid agreements to partner
with other agencies including the HVFC to provide structural fire
suppression in wildland fire situations.

The Greatest Intellectual Disaster Ever

In the movie Young Frankenstein, the monster goes into the castle and
kidnaps Dr Frankenstein's fiancee. However, as we know from
Frankenstein's Castle written by Colin Wilson, Frankenstein believed
that he could not leave the castle. Frankenstein believed that he did
not have the key.

This is why we cannot have nice things.

Revere MA FD - full portable test on Fridays

it seems that Revere FD does a radio test everyday at 830 am - but on
Fridays they test ALL of the portable radios - not just the officers
portables

----------

heard today on 470.0625R over the air via scanner - Friday May 28 2021

828 am - FRIDAY radio test in 2 minutes

830 am - daily test of ALL portables and mobiles -

(mobiles) - C6 car - Eng 1 3 4 5 Lad 1 2

(portables) - C6 portable 1 - C6 portable 2 - C6 portable 3 - Eng 1
portable - Engine 100 - Engine 1 Alpha - Engine 1 Bravo - then Eng 3 4
5 with same format - then - Ladder 1 portable - Ladder 100 - Ladder 1
Alpha - Ladder 1 Bravo - then Lad 2 with same format - Cataldo
Ambulance portable also called

----------

Note - day to day - the officers verbalize the radio IDs of 'Engine
1', 'Ladder 1', 'Engine 3' - etc - both on portables and mobiles

Note - I suspect that the "hundred" IDs are for the drivers
('engineers" in California talk - "apparatus operators" in some
places) - the Alpha and Bravo IDs would be for the
firefighters/privates

Note - heard Revere beep out box 8213 very quickly on 470.0625R
tonight at 927 pm - there did not seem to be any other related radio
traffic - maybe it was a line box and comms were very quick and done

Note - Cataldo Ambulance Service units are heard on 470.0625R when
responding to 911 calls in Revere - the Cataldo dispatcher is heard on
the Revere FD channel once in a while also

Note - the procedure for Cataldo ambulances seems to be - whenever
Revere wants an ambulance, they call the Cataldo dispatcher via
telephone and request one - then the Cataldo ambulance will sign on to
470.0625R - the first Cataldo unit is A1 - the 2nd unit is A2 - the
third unit is A3 etc - many times the ambulances respond from outside
of Revere - Cataldo SOP probably is for any Cataldo unit that gets
assigned to a Revere call or to Revere coverage is expected to place 1
portable radio on the Revere FD channel - Cataldo ambulances talk to
Revere fire units and the Revere Fire dispatcher on 470.0625R

When Revere FD dispatches a EMS call - they say - words to the effect
of - attention Engine 1 and Ambulance - respond to 11 Main St for a
fall - the word Ambulance is very generic in this case considering
that it could be A1 A2 A3 thru A10 etc that responds to the call -
depending on how many EMS calls are already in progress

This is the same procedure that Cataldo uses in all of the cities and
towns that they serve - they expect their ambulances to monitor both
the Cataldo channels and the fire channels - at the same time

Re: [sme2] BMF 461.45 - helo lifting off from Lawrence at 943am

1045 am approx - heard Med 3 on 461.45 PL 107.2 - Med 3 reported that
they were lifting from Lahey (in Burlington?) and going enroute to
Boston (maybe) - there was a change of ICU (bed number) that Med 3 was
nor aware of

to be more accurate - I distinctly heard Med 3 talking - and I heard
the dispatcher talking - and there was mention of Lahey and a ICU
change that Med 3 was not aware of - something like - dispatcher said
'you are enroute icu 4-3' - and Med 3 said "repeat the icu info' - or
similar words - and then dispatcher said - there has been a change on
ICU

125 million people, second only to the US and expected to quadruple in
the next decade.Nov 27, 2012

Philadelphia - fire truck crashes into bld

https://twitter.com/NBCPhiladelphia/status/1398015476853321741

https://goo.gl/maps/wbijzR82mjH8EQ9r5

what are the odds that that is also their fire truck? its has a motor
- if it has rubber wheels it could anywhere on the site - all it would
need would be a pump and a monitor - then it could put foam in the air
to the oil tanks

uber etc vs 'hitchikers'

I wonder how much uber / lyft would change if all rides were shared?

riders could walk 5 minutes to rendezvous with other riders

drivers could be advised of nearby walkers who are heading in their

etc

maybe they already have robust share options

franklin mass had 3 alarm condo fire

https://youtu.be/ZOs3JlbOw_c

keywords - how can this happen in 2021?

I listened to the radio tape - they sent 2 E + 1 L on first alarm -
struck the working fire before arriving - that got approx 6 more rigs
(4 mutual aid and maybe 1 or 2 callback of offduty franklin fd)

arrival with fire thru roof iirc

some confusion maybe on grabbing hydrant - maybe ran out of water on
initial attack line

New bill introduced to control wildfires

https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?id=D42BB61B-4F08-4E66-BD95-55E5EF32A463

Washington—Senators Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla (both D-Calif.),
Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Congressman Jimmy Panetta today
introduced the Wildfire Emergency Act, a bill with the goal of
reducing catastrophic wildfires in the West.

seems very narrow - spending 5 billion trillion dollars to teach 10
guys how to use drip torches

they need to do trillions in thinning - and they need to start today -
otherwise, this summer could be a total burnout and 99% of everything
west of the Mississippi River could go up in flames - and there would
be no need for controlled burns in the next 100 years

what are the odds that 99% of the west could go up in flames in 2021?
check out the wildfires of 1988 -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_fires_of_1988 - and make it
3 times worse to account for litter buildup since 1988

then look at the 1947 fires in Maine -

Kobe Bryant helo crash - very good explanation

https://youtu.be/0MbBmJ-X66c

17 minute video

my bottom line / my understanding of the situation ---- the pilot got
into fog - he was not really well trained nor prepared to handle it -
doing a 'check flight' wearing a hood is NOT the same as suddenly
straying into a fog bank

11:00 on the tape - between 2010 and 2019 twenty (medevac) copters
have crashed the same way - YIKES

ear plays tricks on pilots balance

2nd thought - he should have been aware that he might end up in the
fog - but he probably thought he was prepared to handle the fog
because he had practiced - but he had not practiced in the "real"
"real" really real world (if you know what I am saying)

I see there is also a 30 minute video from the account about the crash
- looks like they have a discussion between several people about the
crash

units we are going to the Command Channel" - roof sector - roof chief
- "come in" - (sounds like Command) - "Ladder 3 Roof to Ladder 3 Open"
- "8 Chauffeur to Fire Sector" - "Chauffeur to Rescue" - "Command to
Engine 7; Engine 7; what is your location" - "Engine 7 10-4" - "8
Chauffeur to 8" - "cancel the 10-70"

lowell area feed has tewksbury police but not tewksbury fd apparently
- tewks pd was in and out of the feed - tewksbury had a cop onscene in
less than 1 minute and he reported he was going in to evacuate people
- original dispatch (which apparently went out on the fire and police
channels at the same time) was for a porch fire in a multi bld

apparently Tewks FD hit the 2nd alarm on arrival

approx 7 minutes elapsed between when tewks sent out the first alarm
and when wilm fd said it was a 2nd alarm

2 minutes between initial dispatch and when a cop was saying "fully
involved and spreading"

how is this possible in 2021?

did medicare make or lose money on covid?

did medicare make or lose money on covid?

medicare saved money by spending less on end of life care

medicare lost money by having to buy extra PPE and ventilators - and
by opening a few extra temporary hospitals

maybe it was a wash

Re: dumpster truck here at 430 am - 4 winslow st

thats just a wild guess though

friday or saturday morning there were a couple of section 12 calls - 1
was at 60 pleasant st - maybe that is related

there were also a couple of medical calls at the police station on
?thurs / ?friday / ?saturday - unknown if related

Paradise CA - PG&E settlement is totally messed up

https://www.npr.org/2021/05/20/998637543/as-pg-e-fire-victim-trust-racks-up-51-million-in-fees-survivors-wait-for-help

PG&E announced its plans to enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
January 2019, ten weeks after its equipment sparked the Camp Fire,
which killed at least 85 people and destroyed almost 19,000 homes and
businesses in and around Paradise. The settlement with tens of
thousands of fire victims resulted from those proceedings.

(I figure it takes about a month or two to totally rebuild a home -
the Amish do it in 1 weekend I think - so if there was a nation wide
mobilization, all of them homes could have been rebuilt a year ago -
but they have not been rebuilt)

new chinese gatling gun - 5 minute video

https://youtu.be/JBUrSFCi91g

good overview of gatling guns in general

still seems to me that you need to be able to whip the barrel around
to get a spiral pattern of bullets - aiming straight ahead and putting
10,000 bullets on the same trajectory really doesnt seem like a good
use of bullets

1994 video - Saugus Mass 4th alarm fire

https://youtu.be/rjXwVBjvCEM

YT account is "Metro Fire"

10-75 the box - at you tube

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVKTgcqTMZ8YtagiFFV9npg/videos

radio tapes from 5 years and 6 years

FDNY Engine goes to a 10-75

https://youtu.be/HQWn8PWIFu0

@FL92002 When the dispatcher fills out the box, usually the 3rd
truck assigned to the 10-75 will have an F on the ticket. e.g. L005F
if 5 truck is assigned as FAST.

(not sure why this is a 10-75 already - maybe it initially was an 1
engine response - then they arrived and gave the 10-75 - which would
mean the 2nd due engine needs to get there fast typically)

(note the stop sign - maybe a 4 way stop sign - even a four way stop
sign probably legally requires a full stop)

Worcester Mass - 'Emergency Call In' TG

heard on the Worcester City 'Emergency Call In' TalkGroup

'WMTA 34-24 radio check'

'loud and clear'

'have a good day'

'you also'

apparently the city transit bus drivers test their radios at the start
of each shift with the 911 Center

Worcester Mass - airport ops

listening via OpenMhz - on one of the feeds for the Mass State TRS -
Group "ORH" can be selected - and it brings the following talkgroups -
ORH Fire + OTH Ops + ORH ?Mtnce? + MSP Troop F Patrol 3

"ORH Fire" seems to have the same dispatcher as Logan Fire - the
dispatcher IDs as "Fire Alarm" - Engine 61 was heard going out on
patrols a couple of times - Engine 62 was heard testing 1 day at 808
am

on "ORH Ops" - "Airport 10" was heard - actually - maybe 1 TG was "ORH
Emergency" - at one point "Airport 10" reported to someone that all
runways and taxiways were open

"Truck 38" seems to be a mtnce truck

Sometimes - State Police officers call in to report that they are
enroute to the Airport for duty - maybe they are assigned from nearby
barracks on a rotating basis - not sure which dispatcher they are
talking to exactly - if they are talking to "Troop F" then I would
guess that the police dispatcher is at Logan Airport (like the fire
dispatcher)

Note - in the last 5 years or so - MassPort has taken over all police
and fire duties at Worcester Airport - previously the 'City of
Worcester Airport Police' provided both fire and police service at the
airport - MassPort subcontracts their police duties to Mass State
Police Troop F - probably nothing much has changed in the way of
staffing - but the paychecks come out of a different pot now I assume

Mass State Police - air ops

listening to the "State" TG over recent days via OpenMhz

Air 3 flies from Lawrence

Air 5 flies from Plymouth

comms work well on this channel - all messages are loud and clear and
no one seems to have any problems communicating (as far as the radio
system is concerned - their message handling procedures seem to be OK
also)

helios go up on patrol with crews of 2 - on a search mission in Lowell
a crew of 3 was used

Ar Bases maintain a watch over the helos - seems to be hourly checks -
helo will answer with "R9" if all is well

Air Bases heard - Plymouth - Lawrence - Westover

other Stations heard - "G" aka 'G HQ" or "Station G" - also - "Station A"

one helo was heard testing video - seems they were sending the video
to the "Watch Center" - the "Watch Center" was not heard on the
channel - I think that Sta G was relaying traffic from the helo to the
Watch Center - "Logan Channel 12" was mentioned in regards to video -
also "Channel 11" and "Wachusetts" - Westover Air Base maybe was
having trouble receiving the video

(this all seems to be very typical for the State TG - even going back
10 or 20 years - not much seems to have changed)

Israel violence notched up by Internet

from NYT today in "An old conflict with digital twists"

Shira: What did you find unusual about the WhatsApp groups of Israeli
extremists organizing violence against Palestinians?

Sheera: I was caught by surprise at just how explicit people were.
They were doing things like setting a time and place to smash windows
of Palestinian-owned businesses and coordinating to make sure they
weren't targeting Israeli businesses by mistake.

How does this compare to other extremist violence online?

What I saw in the Israeli WhatsApp groups was a notch different from
what we've seen in India or Myanmar or at the Capitol riot in January
where people spread hate or misinformation online, but it wasn't
targeted at individuals or businesses. I and people who study
misinformation had never seen organized violence on social media or
communications apps in quite this way.

Did you find extremist Palestinians using WhatsApp to organize their
attacks, too?

There has been Palestinian violence against Israelis, but we didn't
find online mobilization in the same way. One Israeli official told
me, in dark humor, that there is so much surveillance of Palestinians
by the Israeli police and security forces that WhatsApp mobs would be
found before they had a single member.

re - white house video

yt comments

Harris was in the motorcade. Of course you can hear communications.
You do realise that Police helo and Marine helos have to communicate
with Air Traffic Control. Even Trump's flights when he was President
could be heard communicating with civilian Air Traffic Control. Why is
that so hard to understand?

I thought the president and vp are mostly not suppose to meet at the
same place, at the same time, just incase one gets assassinated. 🤔

The rule is only for flying together. It doesn't cover meeting
together or being in proximity to each other like in the video.

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

total FD budget - $55 million - OT was $2M of $50M personal costs

all SCBA converted from demand to positive pressure

fire stations have Channel 5 receivers (? 453.65 ?)

each engine was equipped with 650 feet of 4 inch hose

have 120 EMTs (but the 77/78 report said they had 500 EMTs - did they
lay off the new guys in 1982 due to Prop 2.5 - and all the new guys
were EMTs ?)

1980 (ish) - got 200 new mobile radios (probably UHF) - also got 78
new portable radios

1985 - installed Wang VS-25 computer at Fire Alarm - new cad - saved 3
minutes on dispatch when busy

got 1 new Motorola cellphone and 14 signal quality modules - probably
for voter system

1985 - got new portables (microphones?) - less water problems

Copley Place got repeater - maybe the first in a highrise

Sumner and Callahan Tunnels got repeaters - Pru Tunnel got a repeater

have 43 pagers

1984 - added 2 new remote receiver locations - West Roxbury High
School and Rogers School in Hyde Park

1985 - all stations got receivers on Ch 1 - "483.1625" - previously Ch
1 traffic was relayed to the stations via 33.74 - (I guess they had
33.74 receivers in the stations at some point)

bought 40 new satellite receivers - (maybe 4 receivers per location -
for a total of 10 sites)

per first page - report covers 78 to 87 - or 84 to 87 - its probably 84 to 87

Calendar Year 1985 - 91 arson arrests

replaced some of the Channel 5 receivers in fire stations - (iirc
there is a mention that these were paging receivers)

1982 - the FD has 216 mobile radios and 90 portable (hand held) radios

1983 - took over new subway radio system

there is also info - 5 channels - 36 bases - 12 satellite (remote)
receiver sites

Engine 20 is a quint - also - the 95 foot aerial tower has a 1500 gpm pump

all engines and aerials are diesel powered
