all fireground comms stayed on the primary Hyannis channel
Yarmouth Eng 57 called off at Hyannis HQ on coverage duty and was told
to use C2 for the radio channel
heard via Broadcastify feed - which receives 33.94 apparently - but
the comms were all on the Hyannis 800 mhz conventional repeater
presumbably
there was a fair amount of feedback heard - all comms from inside the
bld were solid into the repeater - but sometimes there was feedback -
and some messages were muffled inside masks - very little doubling was
heard
the response was initially Engine 2 and Tower 1 and Car 3 / IC - with
2 ambulances tied up on EMS calls - and 1 EMS call turned over to a
mutual aid agency
the first indication of a fire was an 8 second tone on the channel -
followed by a computer voice dispatch about 30 seconds later
working fire was struck on arrival - no additional paging noted
Engine 3 signed on as the 2nd engine within 7 minutes - staffed by off
duty people apparently - Heavy Rescue / Rescue 1 signed on in around
16 minutes - apparently the only ambulance to respond signed on in
maybe 30 minutes
COMM Eng 305 came in on the working fire as the 3rd engine - they
arrived about 10 minutes into the fire iirc
based on what was heard via the scanner feed - the "first alarm
structure fire" got Car 3 + Eng 2 + Eng 3 + Tower 1 - the "working
fire" got COMM Eng 305 to the fire and Yarmouth Eng 57 to cover the
empty Hyannis station
Car 1 took over as IC about 10 minutes into the fire - assuming that
is the Chief of the Hyannis FD
5 adults were displaced - and maybe 1 dog died - sounds like the FD
had to yell at one person to NOT go back inside the save the dog
