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)
1610 pm edt - air medics confirm doa - la county fd cancelling units -
air 5 will contact san dimas sheriff station (for detectives) - hwy 39
still shut down
