Alert 2 at Hanscom today at 812 am - Bedford Mass
the Alert 2 at Hanscom today at 812 am got Lincoln Eng 2 and Concord
E3 and Concord A2 on mutual aid - Bedford got notified (maybe via
telephone) but was busy - and Lexington didnt say a peep about it -
but they were a little busy also
Lincoln Eng 2 went to Gate 1 to stage - Lincoln Eng 2 also said they
missed the cancellation via radio - seems that units switch to the
Massport UHF fire channel when going to Hanscom calls
I checked all 4 feeds at Broadcastify - could not find any feeds for
Hanscom AFB FD nor Massport FD at Hanscom
The Concord FD feed was only 18 minutes instead of 30 minutes - so
maybe some comms were missed - ???
MSP TG 1328 had - at 812 am - 'Quigley to F' - 'we have an Alert 2' -
and at 819 am - 'Quigley to F - plane has landed safely'

little confusion about exact location of the crash it seems
they really get slowed by going down middle of 2 travel lanes -
breakdown lane is available - ???
engine calls in via radio when leaving station and when arriving back

sites - denver must have their own independent TRS
I wonder how many total governmental TRS are in Colorado besides the

massachusetts does things differently - the boston trs was merged into

- not sure if any of these systems are fully merged - whatever that

The State of Colorado is served by several Air Ambulance companies
that operate across the state and region. Some frequency information
can be found on the Medical Helicopters Agency Page for Colorado.
Please note, within the last few years it has become more difficult to
monitor AirMedical Talkgroup's on the DTR system. This is because
system administrators are now restricting certain AirMedical
talkgroups from affiliating on various wide-area coverage DTR sites
throughout the State. In fact, there are five "aircraft only" DTR
sites in mostly rural areas.

one of manilas "fire departments" - 6 minute video - 2022
https://youtu.be/GgAc4q40WHY
at the very beginning of the video it says - "association of volunteer
fire chiefs and firefighters of the philippines incorporated" - and
you see that many rigs have signs with the phone number 16016 - the
video shows approx 100 or more fullsize modern pumpers and tankers
plus 1 or 2 aerials - and the video shows them parading thru the city
with firefighters draped all over them
apparently what we have here is on the larger volunteer fire
associations in the metro manila area - what ties them together is the
16016 phone number / dispatch system
bottom line - it seems that metro manila area is served by at least 5
fire groups - if you want the paid firefighters you dial 911 or 112 or
whatever - if you want the 'philippines vols' you dial 10616 - if you
want 'phillipines vol brigades' you dial 522-2222 - if you want
Chinese FD you dial 625-4888 - if you want a txtfire vol brigade you
dial 561-1111 - many of the barangays / neighborhood councils also
have small pumpers - they might be reached mainly via 561-1111 - not
sure about that
since everyone has a cellphone these days - it seems reasonable to
assume that any major fire will get called into all 5 of these phone
numbers at the same time - so you could have a response of 50 engines
on the first alarm depending on how bad the callers made the fire seem
and probably nothing stops any volunteer firefighter from listening to
the city police and fire radio channels - and then calling in an alarm
to his volunteer dispatcher based on those radio reports
at the very beginning of the video it says - "association of volunteer
fire chiefs and firefighters of the philippines incorporated" - and
you see that many rigs have signs with the phone number 16016 - the
video shows approx 100 or more fullsize modern pumpers and tankers
plus 1 or 2 aerials - and the video shows them parading thru the city
with firefighters draped all over them
apparently what we have here is on the larger volunteer fire
associations in the metro manila area - what ties them together is the
16016 phone number / dispatch system
bottom line - it seems that metro manila area is served by at least 5
fire groups - if you want the paid firefighters you dial 911 or 112 or
whatever - if you want the 'philippines vols' you dial 10616 - if you
want 'phillipines vol brigades' you dial 522-2222 - if you want
Chinese FD you dial 625-4888 - if you want a txtfire vol brigade you
dial 561-1111 - many of the barangays / neighborhood councils also
have small pumpers - they might be reached mainly via 561-1111 - not
sure about that
since everyone has a cellphone these days - it seems reasonable to
assume that any major fire will get called into all 5 of these phone
numbers at the same time - so you could have a response of 50 engines
on the first alarm depending on how bad the callers made the fire seem
and probably nothing stops any volunteer firefighter from listening to
the city police and fire radio channels - and then calling in an alarm
to his volunteer dispatcher based on those radio reports
Manila -Pasig City - Echo pumper
https://youtu.be/4H3CJU-tti4
they park their pumper down narrow street opposite Pasig City Central
Fire Station (paid guys) - apparently with a dead tanker that did not
go to the fire
some day we will hear of a crash that killed 10 firemen and 5 scooter
drivers - gonna happen some day soon

tanker 54 responding in downtown Manila
https://youtu.be/qDggHoM98OI
not the heart of downtown maybe - just a little to north
too many people waving their arms around
sampiloc and west tondo both have 3000 gallon tankers - and there were
1 or two other big tankers along the way
looks like someone sent them down a dead end street lol
you can see how the streets are very narrow - and there is lots of
concrete construction - a massive earthquake or tsunami would be a big
problem

hundreds of homes washed

venmo is 1 giant scam apparently
Can You Get Your Money Back After Being Scammed on Venmo?
If you send money to a stranger or get scammed on Venmo, you're
unlikely to get your money back.
Unlike credit or debit cards that have fraud protection and chargeback
systems in place, Venmo treats your money more like cash.
Did you know that peer-to-peer payment apps like Venmo, Cash App, and
Zelle have fraud rates three to four times higher than credit cards?
[*]
from https://www.aura.com/learn/venmo-scams
(That's why Venmo suggests that you only use it for sending money to
people you know.) lol lol lol wth good is a system that you can only
use among friends?

is this because they typically do not respond to wildfires or is it

they have 4 temporary repeaters - we are not really sure how they are
operated - possibly the Dispatch Center has the ability to transmit
into the input side of the temporary repeaters - maybe not - if the 3
remote bases also operate as remote FX1s - then we can see how easy it
would be to add 1 more tone and be able to access the temporary
repeaters - such as -
remote base >>> 164.625 >>> into Meeker Portable Repeater
the dispatcher would hear the Meeker Portable Repeater by switching
the remote base to receive on 173.675
another possibility is that the dispatcher would interact with the
Meeker Portable Repeater by operating simplex on 173.675 - but that
raises the real possibility of not being to reach all (or any) units
at the scene

wonderfully with wild chipmunks in the forest - chu chu's channel or

Re: [sme2] Boston Mass box 10-43 special announcement / special signal
boston fd ch1 483.1625R seems to be back in normal operation today - ch2 is quiet once again (waiting for the next working fire)
boston channel 1 is much weaker at my location than normal
some radio testing is being done on ch 1
they seem to have settled into the new setup quickly - dispatchers
need to pay more attention to if they are on Ch1 or Ch 2 - not hearing
any simulcasting / multicasting / duocasting of ch1 and ch2 yet
ch1 = 483.1625
ch2 = 483.1875
ch3 = 483.2125
ch4 = 483.2375
metro red = 483.3125
they have some district repeaters also - maybe 483.175 483.20 483.225 483.25

federal wildfire channel loads
we have probably posted this type of info before
federal wildfire units have radios with banks of 16 channels typically
their normal everyday bank or maybe home bank or ranger district bank
typically has -
whatever local repeaters are typically used for day to day ops - maybe
a forest net and a admin net - maybe just 1 net - maybe 1 to 5
repeaters for each net
1 or 2 air to ground channels - these are pre-assigned by "Air Zone" -
which is not really a thing - its just a pair or 3 channels that are
assigned to one large geographic area - maybe typically separated by a
mountain range - these Air Zone channels are typically managed /
"owned" by the GACC
maybe 1 or 2 or 3 tactical short range fireline channels - quite often
these are NIFC tac channels or regional channels
channel 16 is typically 168.625
any unused channel slots commonly are filled by state forestry
channels or local fd channels or 155.34 or 154.28 or maybe 168.35 as a
travel channel or 163.7125 as a work channel or maybe a local federal
wildfire tac channel
bottom line - of the 16 channels - only a couple can be used to talk
to a dispatcher
it seems to be a nationwide SOP - that on the 2nd day of any major
fire - all of the radios at the scene get reprogrammed - adding some
temporary channels that are assigned to the incident by the GACC or by
NIFC

electric truck over 1 million miles - CO2 output could be much lower

Boston Mass box 10-43 special announcement / special signal
effective immediately - channel 1 is moving to the backup transmitter
- all portables will operate on channel 2 unless assigned to a
fireground channel - when operating in traffic tunnels or subways use
Channel 4 - channel 1 will be restricted to above ground use of mobile
radios - expect channel 1 to be back in full service in 2 to 3 days
essentially - going back to the scheme they used in the 33.74 / 153.89
/ 154.265 and early UHF days (1980s iirc) - FAO will have to simulcast
on Ch 1 and Ch 2 - no mention of Ch 5 483.3125R which does work in the
subways afaik

nice overview by 2 calfire employees
iirc the new helios cost $25M each - not cheap of course but they will
last 10 to 20 years
they just drop water now - no retardant
8 seats in rear
when dropping water they fly with 1 pilot + 1 captain + 1 crew chief
so I guess that means they can fly with a max of 7 ground crew members
/ helitac members
can fly litter patient also by changing seats
have some temporary seats in rear also

cockpit wiped down of static charge - per comment - kinda thought was the deal
very nice crash truck - arff
The US Navy finally retiring all C/D models gave the Marines and other
legacy Hornet users a big boost by providing a windfall for spare
parts. What was once a difficult aircraft to source parts for suddenly
became a relatively easy jet to source parts for. Takes a lot of
pressure off buying a replacement aircraft because of spares issues.

wisconsin mabas box cards - more info
http://www.wimabas118.com/
the mabas SOPs explain that anything listed as a "still alarm" is
dispatched by the local dispatch center
anything listed as a 'box alarm' or 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th is
dispatched by the MABAS control point
mabas dispatch points send a plectron pager signal on 154.265 and
announce the call there
still alarms can have more than 1 level - there is full still and
other levels of stills
the local dispatcher may be the same person as the mabas dispatcher in
some instances
calls are paged on 154.265 by just 1 mabas control point for each
incident - in other words - one should never hear multiple mabas
control points paging for the same incident - even if the incident is
on a county border
mabas divisions normally follow county borders except that Milwaukee
City FD has their own MABAS control point
we are guessing that for many counties in Wisconsin that the Mabas
Control Point is the same as the countywide 911 center
MABAS Badger Red Control ish is run by Rockford FD - they provide
higher level dispatch coordination - such as when multi counties have
working incidents
local fire dispatch centers usually contact their MABAS control point
via telephone
info from mabas SOPs and mabas box cards
an 'interdivisonal box" is used when County A requests a task force
ish from County B - this is all preplanned also

interface fires or urban conflagrations
high winds can throw embers several miles - and the members can start
new building fires obviously
so we need a giant game of whack a mole
having a plane or helo or drone overhead can be extremely useful -
even putting someone on top of a 100 foot aerial or on a tall building
can be very useful
and the cops can be great scouts
===============
here is a useful california rule of thumb - new starts get hit the hardest
for example - if a 100 acre fire has 3 airtankers assigned - if a new
fire starts 1 or 10 miles away - we would expect the 3 airtankers to
leave the going fire and head to the new fire
this is just a general rule that seems to be written into the
california mobilization plans - there must be 50 years of history to
back up that rule - maybe
maybe it makes sense because it is too dangerous to be running 2 air
ops in close proximity to each other - and the new start might have
completely unprotected resources at risk - whereas the going fire
probably has at least 1 or 2 ground units at the scene

response to active shooters
very important for dispatcher to tell everyone where the shooter is located
dont need fire trucks and ambulances and even cops to drive down a
street right into the gunsights of a active shooter
you might be surprised how many times this happens
happened at uvalde - very early into incident - school cop drove right
past the shooter when the shooter was still outside the school - iirc
if the dispatcher is not giving the location of the shooter - then you
can get on the radio and say - DISPATCHER, WHERE IS THE SHOOTER NOW? -
they might say - we dont know - then ask - DISPATCHER, WHAT IS THE
LAST REPORTED LOCATION OF THE SHOOTER? - or - DISPATCHER, WHAT IS THE
LOCATION OF THE VICTIMS?
not hard - just need to practice the right words - we dont need to
hear - what is the approximate last reported probable location of the
armed party? - too wordy - too vague - and what armed party are we
referring to? - need to practice the right words
yadda yadda - good luck

How Cell Service Actually Works - by Wendover Productions
https://youtu.be/0faCad2kKeg
19 minutes
a great overview of the cellphone system and the history of radio communications
near the end they explain spreading codes and such - cool
this is basically the same as public safety radio communications -
except that cellphones use more advanced modulation techniques -
cellphones can jam 16 simultaneous messages thru 1 radio channel -
whereas public safety can only do 1 to 4 iirc (at this time)

22 minutes video - nearly 2 years old - 1 million views
bottom line - the entire usa ems system is based on the golden hour
principle - but no one knows if the principle is really true or not
============
my thoughts
1. better to prevent accidents and injuries than to respond to them
2. helicopters serve important roles for police, fire, ems, and SAR
agencies - however the USA has only a handful of public safety helios
that serve all of these roles - so East Oshkosh ends up with a full
time medevac helo and a part time police helo and a parttime sar helo
and and a part time fbi helo and a imaginary fire helo and 10,000
military helios
Lets look at Massachusetts - there are 6 medevac helios that operate
24/7 - and there are 2 or 3 state police helos that operate weekdays -
and there is at least 1 USCG helo on duty 24/7 - and the news media in
Boston has 3 or 4 helios working weekdays - and the FBI might have 1
helo on call 24/7 - and the DEA and Border Patrol might share the FBI
helo - only the USCG helos have hoists - only the MSP helos can carry
a water bucket for forest fires - none of the helos can fly in
blizzards or hurricanes or thunder storms - none of the helos carry
rescue tools - none of the helos train with the USAR Task Force - only
the USCG helo can fly in thick fog - etc etc etc - the Natl Guard
might have 20 helos but you never know if they are staffed or out of
state - none of the helos ever train with a structural FD
anyone remember when USAF bases had firefighting Huskie helos?

Re: [Public Safety USA Blog] anf emergency traffic from patrol 21
1600 pm edt - eng 522 now confirms a body in the river - Hwy 39 will
be closed - Sheriff Air 5 will land (on Hwy 39)
air 5 was talking to patrol 21 on 'forest net' - dispatcher wanted
them to move to 'V9 Direct' (an LA County FD channel) but Air 5 said
they were too far away - not sure if that was true or not
Forest Net and Admin net are the only 2 repeater nets that nominally
work forest wide - so doing a/g comms on them is problematic - all
fire dispatching is done on the Forest Net - but they have had only 1
call today so far - but all 21 engines have to listen to all of that
traffic - and alot of it probably comes thru the station speakers as
100% static
come to think of it - I bet that V9 Direct is not supposed to be used
for a/g comms either - they could use usfs a/g channels or 154.40 (la
county a/g)

Dr Campbell freaks out over BU Lab
https://youtu.be/_WTZo9ieBKY
I think he may have missed the mark here
iirc - 80% of these mice die of natural causes anyhow - maybe in 1 week
in any case - BU already said 'nothing to see here' - and BU cant
possibly be wrong

Re: Hartland WI - 7 dead in 5 AM fire - Oct 21 2022
2 miles 6 minutes to scene from hartland fire station - no other
stations are closer
hartland fd webpage says that there station is manned 24/7 - but maybe
they were busy on an ems call - so they had to wait for on call
firefighters to staff the units - they have 4 fulltime staff and run
an als ambulance - they also have at least 1 engine and 1 tower -
(maybe their als amb does not respond to fire calls or waits for call
firefighters to show up at station)
there is a regional fire dispatch center of some sort - they are
called "Dispatch" on the radio tape from broadcastify
per radio tape - took approx 9 minutes for fd to arrive
also - 1 or 2 minutes elapsed between initial page ("pre alert") of
hartland fd for a structure fire - and the later tones for 3 mutual
aid FDs
more FDs were paged 6 or 7 minutes after pre alert for a "level one
working still" - FDs in the area seem to have level 1 and level 2
working stills - level 2 gets coverage - level 1 does not - maybe

wisconsin mabas fire mutual aid
box 741 - airport structure fire - not sure how that works - looks
like the airport dispatcher sends full then 2nd then 3rd - and beyond
that - the mabas dispatcher (whoever that is) sends box 2nd 3rd 4th
5th and interdivisional - (on to pof the 3 alarms sent by the airport
dispatcher)
also - for the city of milwaukee - the city and ? area ? seem to be
divided into 3 quadrants - with different converge stations in each
quadrant - and probably with different response units in each quadrant
- Milwaukee even has a tanker box and maybe a brush box also
keep in mind that the international airport has 2 FDs - 1 military and
1 "county" - both have structural and arff and hazmat and tech rescue
units - neither has a ladder apparently - milwaukee FD rolls in as the
main backup it seems

Re: [Public Safety USA Blog] ANF going to a brush fire now
fire is way up north at the Kern County border - outside of the
Automatic Aid Zone for ANF - so ANF is checking with Los Angeles
County to see if they should continue responding
2 beeps and response cancelled - 939 pm edt - announced off at least 2
mtn tops - E310 + E333 + Div 1 have the cancellation
that was a 15 minute ride to nowhere - oh well - this is what happens
when a fire is reported in a mountainous rural area with few landmarks

Fullerton CA votes against joing Orange County FD - California
https://voiceofoc.org/2022/10/fullerton-rejects-joining-oc-fire-authority-despite-staffing-concerns-over-existing-department/
we would love to know how signing a piece of paper magically makes
more paramedics and firefighters appear out of thin air?
if fullerton voted to join the county - would some fullerton stations
or county stations immediately close down due to overlap?
lets check the map!

dont see any overlap with Orange County FD but there is overlap with
Los Angeles County / LaHabra FD - interesting
