ENORMOUS Full House Response: 18 apparatus (!!!) at once
holy cow
During the routine apparatus check in the morning the alarm at Fire
and Rescue Station South of the BASF Industrial Fire Department in the
city of Ludwigshafen
Germany I guess
Industrial FD University of Munich responding to fire alarm
germany
4 units from the industrial fire department from the Technical
University of Munich "TUM" responding to an activated fire alarm at
the Garching Campus, TUM Department of Chemistry. You can see both
CAFS Rescue Engines 1 and 2, the Tower Ladder and the Ambulance
leaving the station. As the alarm was set off, the Command Van wasn't
at the station, but you can see it leaving the scene later on. The TUM
FD is located at the Garching Campus in Munich County. Since the
university belongs to the state, so does the FD at the university. So
far it's the only state fire department in the Free State of Bavaria.
All other fire departments are either communal or belong to a company.
There are approximately 22,000 students and 10,000 employees at
Garching Campus. The Campus forms the entire borough "University and
Reserch Center, one out of only 4 boroughs in the town of Garching.

Good reason to plan an exit from this lousy nation. Any claim to
rights to petition our government were shown under T.Rump to be FALSE.
We remain a nation of racists who enjoy killing anyone who is not
white. Canada and Spain are couple of alternatives to this fraud of a
nation. Those who left for better nations have no regrets. But such a
move requires a couple of years to plan and execute.

to a dispatcher but the dispatcher might pop up on a TAC to give the
IC some info
bottom line ... the dispatchers are only HALF on the TAC channels
sorta ish
maybe they just have 1 or 2 dispatchers on duty to serve thirty FDs

fdny could have done this on 9/11
and its a complex topic ... we will rewrite this in the future
===============
fdny could have done this on 9/11
fdny could have used 2 UHF freqs to tie the lobby to the WTC repeater
or to tie the lobby to a repeater in a battalion car
such as :: lobby >> 460.625 >> 154.43 R >> 465.625 >> lobby
one of the main radio problems that they faced was that the portable
radios in the lobby could only reach up 20 floors ... but the bld was
110 floors tall ... the lobby was essentially a radio hole / dead
spot / black spot
if the portable radio in the lobby moved out into the street they
could easily reach up 110 floors to people near the windows ; but only
on 1 or 2 sides of the bld
in theory if they put 2 portable radios in the street for both WTC 1
and WTC 2 ... with 4 channels they would have comms to all sides of
the blds up to the top ... that would have eliminated the need to
relay messages radio to radio up thu the bld
too bad they didnt have another repeater pair to use at the scene ...
like 150.775 and 154.22 maybe
if the NCSTAR report was correct and the VHF portable radios only had
6 or 7 channels ... then they were severely limited in what they could
accomplish ... but with 4 simplex channels and 1 repeater channel ...
maybe they could have pulled it off .... using the repeater channel
as the command or mayday channel
The NCSTAR report said they used 1 tac channel and 1 command channel
in each bld. If the command net was run by 1 chief in the lobby with 2
people at the corners of the bld ... that might have worked OK

Detailed Wikipedia article about fdny comms on 9/11
maybe the NJ agency that was heard was on 154.43 and the port
authority tape recorder was recording radio traffic from 154.43 ...
unless it was logging 153.89 and heard someone else
apparently unsent message from 2008
regarding the WTC radio systems
The message was intended as a reply, to someone I was corresponding
with, who had worked at the wtc
if you are still out there ..... sorry if I disappeared on you

2006 Los Angeles Radio Study
It is RCC's opinion that interoperability between the public safety
agencies of the City of Los Angeles and the other public safety
agencies in the region will best be achieved with the creation of a
shared, region-wide voice and data radio system. The new radio system
would be shared by LAPD, LAFD, LASD, LACoFD, LACoDHS and the many
municipal public safety agencies within Los Angeles County. It would
be created by pooling the agencies' UHF band frequencies into a shared
trunked radio system for voice, and the agencies' 800 MHz frequencies
into a shared mobile data system.
RCC's opinion is based on the fact that a radio system of this type is
the only way to satisfy the criteria for interoperability that are
identified and described in detail later in this document. The new
radio system is expected to cost between $484.8 million and $604.6
million, with a substantial portion of the funding expected to come
from Federal and other grants.

do all tactical channels use the same CTCSS? why? why not have

effective?

maybe ch 4 on uhf was the home channel for all of the ambulances in the city
not sure who 33.86 connects to
ch 13 was probably mobiles only
command channels might have only been installed in chiefs radios
the 'alt dispatch' channels were maybe used as response channels on major fires

Karuk Tribe has wildfire issues
I am not sure how much of this is true. Karuk Tribe has a VFD and a
wildfire agency. The VFD has 1 or 2 stations and maybe 2 TY2 engines
but maybe no firefighters. The wildfire agency might have a helo.
Google sat view shows a helo at their huge wildfire center.

info about amazon ..... backup for the big one
you lose the ability to use Amazon even if you can access a backup

however; Amazon does allow the use of Google Voice as a backup method

Voice number; and hopefully one would then be able to access Amazon
again; this can be important for ordering groceries ...... you have
to go into your Amazon security settings to add the 2nd phone number
to your account ... iirc thats where I found the option on the
Amazon website
I just confirmed 5 minutes ago that Amazon will send a text to Google
Voice; and that Google Voice will receive and display the text

would be nice if disatchers could listen in to security and mtnce
radio channels at bld before FD even arrives - that would be a huge
advantage and time saver
also would be nice if dispatchers knew exact wind direction and speed at the bld
also need to know smoke and fire conditions on top floor immediately I
would think
if fire is spreading laterally - then all companies need to go to fire floor
if fire is spreading vertically - either need exterior attack or
companies above the fire - obviously
who is gonna carry fire victims out of bld? maybe would be best to put
EMS command post 2 floors below fire and give them 1 dedicated
elevator

NIFOG 2.0 - Interoperability Communications Order Model
- on page 30 of 192
Interoperability Communications Order Model
Communications Order Model refers to the order of the radio
identification or callsign of the sender and receiver is spoken. The
prevailing model in the U.S. has a common order in how a message is
initiated. Often, this model is referred to a "Hey you, It's me." The
sender states the unit/person called, followed by the sender's unit or
name.
Example: "Dispatch, this is Engine 21." The response is the reverse:
"Engine 21, this is Dispatch, go ahead."
Establishing this order model increases interoperability so that units
are aware which identification/callsign comes first. This model is
used by the amateur radio community, the Department of Defense, the US
Coast Guard, the National Guard, many public safety agencies across
the country, and is endorsed by APCO and SAFECOM.
====================
zerg90 says - might be nice to add this rule - whoever starts the
conversation says "channel clear" at the end - or something like that

why didnt he use a knife or baseball bat? why didnt he attack the

answers - he didnt attack the police because he was a coward - he
wanted to attack unarmed people
answer - he didnt use a knife or baseball bat or club because he
wanted to be memorable - he wanted fame - he wanted drama
answer - unknown why the police didnt kill him immediately - maybe
rules of engagement are too strict - maybe police are poorly trained

info on CalFire fee
a 'State Responsibility Area' (SRA) to pay a $150 annual 'fee' for
fire prevention services. Because residents in the Briceland Fire
Prevention District now live within a Fire District (which is also
within an SRA), this fee is reduced to $110. This new fee, which most
of us who live here consider a disguised tax (it is being challenged
in court as such), was imposed one month before the new District was
created, causing confusion about the two charges.

lets say that white thing up top is a ground ladder - have a small
turntable on the cab roof - FF would lift the ladder up at the rear of
the rig and then walk toward the cab - then the ladder would be
upright & you just need a means to rotate towards the fire bld
yes yes - when the ladder is upright - a 2nd person stands on the
turntable and holds the ladder upright - the 2nd person unlocks the
turntable and allows the turntable to turn the ladder toward the fire
