foreground - grass valley fd sta 5 - 2 man engine company - 24/7/365 -
this was a nevada city fd station until 2020 when the nevada city fd
merged into the grass valley fd
background - cal fire "nevada city" station - two 3 man engines
24/7/365 - plus a dozer in summer
many of the fire stations in the area just have 2 people on duty - so
if you look at the county map at
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1xw-9yKq0w_idRBnXXiwSYm4XQyg&usp=sharing
- you can see 2 man stations scattered all around - but there is a
huge concentration of 10 firefighters right here - and if Cal Fire has
4 man staffing right now - then you have 12 firefighters right here
while all other stations have just 2 people in the house

Why do fire engines use lights and sirens, even in the middle of the
night when there is no traffic?
Studies show that one of the most dangerous activities for fire
departments is getting their vehicles to the emergency incident. The
purpose of emergency warning equipment is to let drivers and
pedestrians know that an emergency vehicle is on the way to an
emergency. If we do not provide reasonable warning, we could be liable
for any injury or accident. By state law, we are exempt from certain
traffic rules; however, we must still ensure that all traffic is aware
of us responding even in the middle of the night. This is balanced
with the need to respond quickly to save a life or protect property.

total mobility concept for all USA FDs
each FD must have at least 1 vehicle that can respond nationwide for
21 days self contained
unit must be able to do interior firefighting, wildfire fighting, rope
rescue, low level hazmat and econ etc
with a crew of 4
maybe we should revise this to - each county must have at least 1 vehicle ....
the most common fire vehicle are the TYPE 1 pumpers with 1000 GPM
pumps and 500 gallon tanks - all have scba - many have jaws - throw
some forestry hose on them and you have a halfway decent brush truck -
throw some radiation suits and geiger counters and you have a nuke
response unit - many already have the nuke meters - carry some rope
and you can do technical rescues - etc

Pinchot Forest Map - Scranton PA area

Public Use Map.pdf
I think the general idea here is that the local fire departments are
the first responders to all incidents in the state forests and state
parks - plus all of the urban and suburban and rural areas. There are
nearly 500 fire departments in this map area.
State Forestry operates approx 10 type 6 engines crewed by 15 seasonal
fire patrolmen. They also operate some lookout towers - and they fly 1
helo and 3 SEATs from Hazleton Airport. They also have 1 TY3 dozer and
1 TY5 engine. Most wildfires happen in the spring - and some in the
fall.
The 2020 forest management plan claims that they have 3 state forest
fire stations. Hazleton + Hughesville + Dickson City. I can only find
the Hazleton forest fire station.
The yellow areas on the map are the game atreas - but I dont think
that the state has any special responsibility for controlling
wildfires on those lands.
It is possible that PA State Forestry has responsibility for
suppressing all wildfires in the State but they will be the first to
tell you that the local fire departments do the vast majority of
wildfire control.
If I had to guess - I would guess that PA State Forestry operates like
Mass State Forestry. They concentrate on wildfire control in the most
remote areas by providing 2 or 3 small fire engines in each county.
They also concentrate on State Forests and State Parks. Elsewhere -
State Forestry is mostly used to provide aerial assets. However - in
Pennsylvania the State Forestry has handcrews - but I think they are
primarily staffed by oncall VFD members.

Plymouth Mass FD 154.43 on Broadcastify
https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/38554
sounds like Brewster Ambulance Service is giving medical calls to the
FD dispatcher on this channel - and then the fire dispatcher sends out
the engines and ambulances - audio from Brewster is crappy - and they
have trouble giving relevant details - heard 2 calls come in - both
times the fire dispatcher asked for more or corrected details - 1 time
they got the street name wrong - 1 time they didn't give an apt number
at an apt bld
here is a typical dispatch message - Sta 1 Engine 1 fire alarm 51 Main
St - two tone pager signal - Sta 1 Eng 1 51 Main St fire alarm - (
calls are NOT acknowledged by the various stations verbally )
if 2 or more stations are alerted - just 1 pager tone set is
transmitted - always seems to be the same 2 tones
the only other traffic heard on this channel is the various stations
reporting that units are back in the station - Fire Alarm (from)
Station 6, Engine 6 back in quarters - Eng 6 in quarters (echoed by
the dispatcher)
note - all other comms are on their 2 UHF channels apparently

good advice for drivers vs emergency vehicles
When I see an emergency vehicle approaching with lights and sirens
while I am driving, what should I do?
State law, and common sense, dictates that vehicles yield to emergency
vehicles that are operating their emergency lights and siren.
Emergency vehicle drivers are taught to pass on the left whenever
possible when responding in an emergency mode. When safe, slow down,
pull over to the right, and stop. However, there are circumstances
where that may not be possible (if you car is already stopped, and you
don't have anywhere to pull over). Simply stay put until the emergency
vehicle goes around you. Do not tailgate, "draft", or follow a
responding apparatus closely. Not only is this illegal, you run the
risk of collision as vehicles pull back out into traffic after the
emergency vehicle goes by.
from https://www.cityofflowood.com/flowood-fire-deparment-faq
====================
maybe could say - pull to right and stop - if already stopped, stay
put - if nowhere to pull over to right, then slow down and put on
right directional and slow down
however - what about the person who is just pulling into a left hand
turn lane and has not stopped yet? - do we want them to pull to the
right? dont think so
maybe there should be a video with common examples

9 people are on the volunteer fire dept - this might be 1 small van

8 districts and 72 villages - 3 million population
staffing tables lists - station + number in sports association +
number in fire operations + number in union + number in Islam
association - total of around 1,000 firefighters

they seem to meet their response time goals only 10% to 60% of the time

107,000 fatal drug ODs in USA in 2021
According to the CDC, 107,375 people in the United States died of drug
overdoses and drug poisonings in the 12-month period ending in January
2022. A staggering 67 percent of those deaths involved synthetic
opioids like fentanyl. Some of these deaths were attributed to
fentanyl mixed with other illicit drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine,
and heroin, with many users unaware they were actually taking
fentanyl. Only two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially
lethal dose; it's particularly dangerous for someone who does not have
a tolerance to opioids.

Placer County FD - 2022 organizational chart
this info gives you a good look at how cal fire and the california
counties work cooperatively to operate some of the "county fire
departments" - the Placer County FD covers approx 1/3 of the county -
they serve around 60,000 living in 424 square miles with 12 stations
and 61 fulltime staff - plus 33 vols
https://web.archive.org/web/20220815175537/https://www.placer.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/60640/PCFD-Website-Org-Chart-ESTES-2022?bidId=
California
this is a joint cal fire / placer county organization
fire stations have cal fire units and county fire units and maybe
even some local units
staffing is - cal fire (year round and seasonal) + volunteers + maybe
some reserves and maybe some part timers and maybe some live ins and
maybe some interns / rookies / recruits / students / apprentices
I think that all stations have someone in the station 365 days per
year - except some of the 70 stations

McAfee lied about bitcoin
In July 2017, McAfee predicted on Twitter that the price of a bitcoin
would jump to $500,000 within three years, adding: "If not, I will eat
my own dick on national television."[75] In July 2019, he predicted a
price of $1 million by the end of 2020.[76] In January 2020, he
tweeted that his predictions were "a ruse to onboard new users", and
that bitcoin had limited potential because it is "an ancient
technology."[77]

organizational meeting
they pay the secretary / pio $2,000 per year - which probably explains
why the minutes are online monthly - the cost of openness
treasurer gets paid $4,000 per year
have memberships in fire district associations and volunteer fire
associations in both ulster county and sullivan county - are nfpa
members also
no fire chiefs listed - I guess the Fire District is different than
the VFC - Fire District deals with money - VFC deals with putting
water on fires
pay rent for Frost Valley Truck House and Fire House - also have
Warren Cole Hall - they might have 2 fire stations and a fire hall -
the fire hall is a big meeting building - maybe
might serve or be funded by Town of Denning and Town of Nevesink -
Nevesink might be in Sullivan County

I think the deal with this FD is - they are physically located in
Ulster County - but they are dispatched by and operate on the Sullivan
County system - because they are separated from most of Ulster County
and they are on the Sullivan County border - in fact, the spot marked

1333 - approach directions given for E1 L1 (and Chel Eng on line box)

More info on iodine vs iodide
from YT at (594) Rampant BA 5 - YouTube
David Pennington
2 weeks ago
About the rant...basic chemistry mistake, John. The iodine absorbed
from seaweed is iodide, the anionic form of iodine, which has no
antiviral activity. It has to be iodine itself, whether free or
conjugated, as it has a similar disinfectant power to chlorine, due to
a powerful oxidising effect. However, both pure iodine and chlorine
are poisonous, as you know...the body cannot tolerate them. Iodine is
used by the thyroid in the form of iodide only. Whether an excess is
expressed in mucus makes no difference...it will have no antiviral
activity. If the Japanese intake of seaweed was so important, why is
Japan experiencing the same massive current wave of BA5 as everywhere
else?

Yes, David, that was my response. If free Iodide, not Iodine, had any
significant general anti-viral activity it would surely be in the
literature by now. Chlorine is also a good disinfectant (though not as
good as Iodine), but putting chloride (i.e. salt) in swimming pools
would not help disinfect the water.

That doesn't rule out the possibility that there is some other
mechanism behind this. Or you know, Dr. Spector's pet theory: gut
microbiome. Japanese people (not all, but the majority) love miso,
natto and pickled vegetables and plums. They do have increasing cases
at this time, however. I think we can all agree about the frustration
with Covid!

@NEWdansuyume I heard something similar but natto popularity is
quite regional (higher in Kanto, less in Kansai). Mito (city in
Ibaraki prefecture) is their natto "capital" and has low covid levels
but then it's really rural (we say "inaka" in Japan) and the cities
get it worst anyway.

mechanism behind this. Or you know, Dr. Spector's pet theory: gut
microbiome. Japanese people (not all, but the majority) love miso,
natto and pickled vegetables and plums. They do have increasing cases
at this time, however. I think we can all agree about the frustration
with Covid!

@NEWdansuyume I heard something similar but natto popularity is
quite regional (higher in Kanto, less in Kansai). Mito (city in
Ibaraki prefecture) is their natto "capital" and has low covid levels
but then it's really rural (we say "inaka" in Japan) and the cities
get it worst anyway.

McKinney Fire in Siskiyou County on the Oregon border
"When we lost the logging industry around this area, it was
devastating for us," Yreka Mayor Duane Kegg said. "We lost a lot of
our economy, and losing a lot of economy has a trickle-down effect on
a lot of different issues — homelessness, people going through drug
and alcohol problems. We've seen it over the years, and I attribute
all of this to back in the '80s, losing our logging industry."
note - massachusetts has 6.5 drug OD deaths daily - no logging
