Re: [Public Safety USA Blog] 146K watching ryan hall on yt
lookner was just playing the johnson county iowa fire channel - which
is something that ryan hall does not do
ryan hall usually has a couple of storm chasers who try to provide
video of storms - but it very hard to catch a live tornado on live
video
maybe they need to coordinate several YT channels - 1 for watching
radar - 1 for watching storm chasers - 1 for watching scanner feeds
that would be mega info overload - but in a good way
.

Colonoscopy: A Gold Standard to Refuse - Why Dr. John McDougall Advises Against Colonoscopies
https://www.youtube.com/live/iN0lmWUnXVU?feature=share
2.5 hour video
first hour he explains his point of view - colon cancer cells
replicate very slowly - polyps are caused by meat irritating the
lining of the colon - if you improve your diet, remove the source of
irritation (meat), and bolster your immune system - you will probably
die of colon cancer when you hit 150
colonoscopies come in 2 types - 2 foot scope and 6 foot scope - 2 foot
scope will find approx 80% of polyps - 6 foot scopes cause bowel
perforations at the same rate that they save lives by detecting polyps
- colonoscopies are big money makers for hospitals and doctors
therefore a smart person will NOT get a 6 foot colonoscopy - and
certainly not until they are 54 to 64 years old approx
other countries do not push colonoscopies like the usa does - canada
recently told people to stop getting colonoscopies
no one in africa gets colon cancer
this is my synopsis of the first hour of the video

death and dying - an ode from a lawyer
"We are horrified and deeply saddened by the loss of this great man,"
said attorney Chris Malcolm, who represents Grant's wife. "He will be
forever missed. Monica heard from him as he left work yesterday and
was about to head home on his motorcycle. They told each other I love
you. That was their last contact. Words cannot describe her pain and
what she is going through. Monica can at least find some peace in
knowing this will result in his acquittal as all pending charges
against him shall be dismissed by the Government."

info on nashville shooting - response times
took 14 minutes to kill the shooter - thats almost as slow as the uvalde cops
========================
we saw video of cops going to floor 2 then to floor 1 then back to floor 2
=====================
from https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/28/us/covenant-school-shooting-nashville-tennessee-tuesday/index.html
the video adds further insight into the timeline of the shooting and
the police response. The first 911 call about the shooting came in at
10:13 a.m., and the shooter was killed 14 minutes later, according to
police. The bodycam footage of Engelbert entering the school and
shooting the attacker lasts about three to four minutes.
========================
think we heard the first police dispatch saying something like -
report of active shooter in area of X St and Y St
in other words - they did not have an exact location at first for some reason
=========================
bottom line - if the shooter has an assault rifle or automatic weapon
- the cops are gonna hang back till reinforcements arrive - the police
chief might say that the response was "swift" - but you know better
than that

The 5 Nutrient Deficiencies Behind Depression - per Dr Berg
B12 + Folate + D3 + B1 + Zinc
some people have genetic problems that severely hinder their ability

Berg recommends trying B12 first to see if it improves mood - if not,
try Folate next - then try D3 (maybe 20K units daily) - then try B1 -
then try Zinc
genetic tests can shed light on these problems - but we imagine that
they are very expensive still

https://bkrenewablefuels.com/safety
to me this basically says - screw you - suck up any fumes that you get
its not like they give all the neighbors gas masks and escape pods
note - the refinery often gives off white smoke - so smoke is not a
sure sign of anything
note - if you hear sirens and an air horn for 2 minutes - that MIGHT
mean something - of course it might be just a car alarm - or an angry
truck driver - or the BFD going to a barbecue fire
note - if your cellphone does not wake you up in the middle of the
night - then tough sh*t - you are dead
note - all of our employees have hydrogen sulfide monitors - but you
are sh*t out of luck - buy your own damn meters
that hydrogen sulfide sh*t is bad - ask Texas about it

Safety Data Sheet Gasoline – KOP030
Manufacturer Kern Oil & Refining Co. – 7724 East Panama Lane –
Bakersfield – CA 93307-9210 (661) 845-0761 – sds@KernOil.com –
www.KernOil.com Chemical Name: Mixture of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Chemical Family: Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions: Small fires in the incipient
(beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld
portable fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment.
Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high
heat, smoke or toxic by-products of combustion should require
NIOSH/MSHA- approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face piece and full protective clothing. Isolate
area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and
containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water. For large
fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be
advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may
require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank
fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to
extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied
firefighting foam. Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Use
NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus and fully protective clothing such as bunker gear if needed
to prevent exposure. Withdraw immediately from the area if there is a
rising sound from a venting safety device or discoloration of vessels,
tanks, or pipelines.
Further information: If employees are expected to fight fires they
must be trained and equipped as stated in the OSHA Fire Brigades
Standard (29 CFR 1910.156). Vapors may form explosive mixture with
air. Flammable vapor production at ambient temperature in the open is
expected to be minimal unless the oil is heated above its flash point.
When heated above flash point and mixed with air and exposed to an
ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in
confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long
distances to an ignition source and flash back. Vapors may be ignited
rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of
ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source,
flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces.
Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an
ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or
explosion hazard.

Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high
heat, smoke or toxic by-products of combustion should require
NIOSH/MSHA- approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face piece and full protective clothing. Isolate
area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and
containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water. For large
fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be
advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may
require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank
fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to
extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied
firefighting foam. Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Use
NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus and fully protective clothing such as bunker gear if needed
to prevent exposure. Withdraw immediately from the area if there is a
rising sound from a venting safety device or discoloration of vessels,
tanks, or pipelines.
Further information: If employees are expected to fight fires they
must be trained and equipped as stated in the OSHA Fire Brigades
Standard (29 CFR 1910.156). Vapors may form explosive mixture with
air. Flammable vapor production at ambient temperature in the open is
expected to be minimal unless the oil is heated above its flash point.
When heated above flash point and mixed with air and exposed to an
ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in
confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long
distances to an ignition source and flash back. Vapors may be ignited
rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of
ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source,
flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces.
Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an
ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or
explosion hazard.

Fire Organizational Structure on the Sequoia National Forest
https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/sequoia/home/?cid=fsbdev3_059502
not sure how up to date this is - but it gives a good look at manpower levels
note that each engine company has 8 people assigned overall
such as
Supervisory Fire Engine Operator, Bear Creek - Engine 25
Fire Engine Operator
Assistant Fire Engine Operator
Senior Firefighter (2 positions)
Crew (3 positions)
gonna guess that all engine operators have CDL and can drive the engine
on the Angeles Natl Forest when they do the daily rollcall it is
typically - Captain + 4 - or - Engineer + 4
lets guess that on the Sequoia NF that Supervisory Fire Engine
Operators are called 'Captains' - and that Fire Engine Operators and
Assistant Fire Engine Operators are called 'Engineers'
the differences between the various rankings include - pay levels +
required training + maybe years of experience

418 am - E21 + Car28 (both from Sta 1) to 117 Main St for a commercial
fire alarm from a greek restaurant

122 to Bourne Sta 4 - both the Bourne Sta 4 page and the Bourne

456 am - Joint Base Cape Cod FD sent station page and all call page
and requested 1 engine to the working fire in Falmouth
we suspect that between 428 am and 456 am that both E23 and E24 were
sent to the fire - so the Joint Base engine would be the 6th due pump
on the fire

FDNY Vintage Brooklyn Central Office Video / August 1989
https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/fdny-vintage-brooklyn-central-office-video-august-1989.455128/
the first video is around 30 minutes long - from 1989 - Brooklyn NYC
FDNY dispatch office / central office - computers are down - manual
backup systems being used
note - iirc they were a 2ndary 911 psap - all 911 calls went to pd hq
- if FD was needed, the call would be transferred to the appropriate
fire dispatch center - there were 5 dispatch centers at that time - 1
in each borough - they were operating on 154 mhz - they were not
dispatching any ambulances - they just dispatched fire units

3 FD radio tests in Massachusetts with the FCC radio station callsign
given and the assigned radio frequency given
Why do you think they give out the radio channel every day? To hide
from the public? Or to encourage the public to continue to tune in? Or
to encourage the public to tell other folks to also tune in? Or
because the script was written in the 1950s and never changed?

About the Maynard Mass FD radio system
listening to radio comms at their recent incident via broadcastify -
when the IC and dispatcher were talking to each other - sometimes both
parties were loud and clear via the feed - sometimes just the
dispatcher was loud and clear via the scanner feed - this indicates
that the dispatcher can hear field units 'on direct' and 'via
repeater'

at the end of the Arlington MA Selectman meeting on Monday Selectwoman
Mahon brought up this issue stating that her brother was a member of

check and make sure that Arlington FD did not have any PFAS issues -
she said she had received 1 or 2 Emails from top IAFF honchos about

2. Michael Flynn develops (ish) a plan to make this happen - the USA
will have to drop all 2014 sanctions on Russia (2015 ish)
3. Trump and Flynn agree on the plan (2016 ish)
4. Israel buys in to get protection from Iran and Palestine
5. Trump "wins" and sanctions are dropped - (actually - I dont think
that the sanctions were dropped - somehow Flynn got busted and
apparently the plan did a belly flop - and Trump added more sanctions
on Russia (maybe - not sure about that))
6. In any case - this is a very interesting look at how we got the
"ramming the ramparts" guy in the White House - who does the would /
wouldnt thing - who would have run into Parkland naked - who grabs p*ssy - etc

Chester! Most people don't realize that a great drummer can change his
drum strokes without changing the beat to make the song so much more
enjoyable, ear candy. If you didn't catch it, go back and notice where
he skipped the third tom on every pass. The fourth tom was rushed, but
it added so much to the song, and concert!

Arkadelphia Arkansas FD - schedule of fees
https://arkadelphia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Billing-Service-Fee-Schedule..pdf
fd has authority to bill for calls outside of the city - no mention of
a subscription program on the fd webpage
does not seem too bright
for example - last night at 946 pm they had a call for an 'electrical
fence fire' that was 10 minutes outside the city - they responded with
1 man on Engine 2 and some call men - Engine 2 reported on arrival
they had several small fires burning
lets say this had been an accidental fire - and the first person who
spotted the fire was the person who accidentally caused it - they
would have a choice to make - drive away and say nothing - or - report
the fire and be liable for maybe a couple of thousand dollars
lets say they drove away and told no one - and then the fire spread to
the city and took out 100 homes - would this be a good outcome? is it
likely? sure, why not
========================
Medical Calls may be invoiced per occurrence, with the individual
being treated held responsible for the costs. Invoices shall be the
sole discretion of Fire Chief.
Medical Call shall mean those emergency incidents in which the
Arkadelphia Fire Department responds and functions as the primary care
provider.
(not really sure what this means - this FD has 9 fulltime staff - they
work 24 on and 48 off - so they have 3 on duty 24/7 - they have 2
stations - 1 on each side of the railroad tracks - they try not to
have both engines committed on 1 side of the tracks (per theri radio
traffic)
not sure who provides ambulance services - engines do go to medical
calls in the city
FD is dispatched by PD - all other FDs in the county are dispatched by
the sheriff
21,000 people live in the entire county - 23% are black - 63% are white
=================================
more importantly - we think the FD radio systems are set up this way
arkadelphia fd - 1 or 2 repeaters for their calls
for all other FDs in clark county - maybe 154.385 is countywide fire
paging repeater - and they also have - 3 repeater pairs (151.19R
151.40R 154.875R) with multi output tones - these 3 repeater pairs use
157 mhz freqs as inputs - they also have 173.3125 for MO3 and HTs -
caddo valley fd (154.205R + 155.955R) and gurdon fd (155.10R) also
have their own repeater pairs - hospital ambulance is on 151.475R
not sure what channels are used by dpw / highways - cities might have
own channels - and county and state have own channels - not shared
with FDs (maybe)

'NFPA requires 3 people for fire attack' - really?
enumclaw washington fd got a budget increase so their 2 man engine is
now a 3 man engine
https://web.archive.org/web/20230321013054/https://enumclawfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/EN-Call-volumes-2021.pdf
this item says that nfpa requires 3 people for fire attack
actually - nfpa does not write laws - they just write 'suggestions'
secondly - 2 in / 2 out from OSHA requires 4 people - so where did
this 3 person rule come from?
now a 3 man engine

this item says that nfpa requires 3 people for fire attack
actually - nfpa does not write laws - they just write 'suggestions'
secondly - 2 in / 2 out from OSHA requires 4 people - so where did
this 3 person rule come from?

NYC officials coordinating security measures for possible Trump arrest
https://youtu.be/I0d4bBR3g5I
they probably have not arrested trump yet to give jimmy carter a few
more weeks or months
gotta figure that carter would die 1 day after trump was arrested -
probably with a huge smile on his face

history of public safety radio in usa
perhaps we have written this up before - lets do it again
history of public safety radio in usa
starting around 1910 or 1920 - shortwave radios were used - channels
near 1 Mhz perhaps - maybe all AM radios
1930 - maybe newer channels began to be used at 35 mhz with fm radios
- cities and towns each had 1 channel - mostly for police - counties
might have 1 channel also (for larger sheriff depts) - state police
maybe had short wave radios and 35 mhz radios
1940 perhaps - 150 mhz radios used - first in big cities - police and
fire started to get different channels from each other
1950s - police and fire had their own channels - countywide channels
at 33 mhz and 46 mhz and 154 mhz for fire - countywide police channels
at 37 mhz and 39 mhz and 45 mhz and 154 mhz for police - larger cities
and towns and villages had their own radio channels - and they were
often on different bands than the surrounding suburban or rural
agencies - FDs had home alert radios and tone activated sirens
1960s - the first handheld portable radios started to come into use -
rechargeable nicad batteries were used to replace alkaline batteries -
UHF radio appeared (453 mhz and 460 mhz) - more radios had PL -
microwave started to be used to link transmit sites - smaller pagers
were able to be carried on hip belts - UHF channels were usually
repeaterized
1980s - first 800 mhz radios went into use and first trunked radios
systems went on the air - trunked radios were used in major cities and
some larger counties
1990s - first P25 digital radios appeared - more units were equipped
with mobile date terminals
2000s - synchronized simulcast became more prevalent for base stations
- internet began to be used to link radio sites
2020s - 700 mhz trs becoming more common - FirstNet is trying to get
started using cellular radio bands
who can make corrections to this?

what about the children at the southern border during the trump
regime? were they ever fully accounted for?
