Oregon State Forestry - more radio info

White - primary a/g for most of the state - 151.31 - PL 156.7

Blue - 2ndary a/g for all of the state - 159.2625 - PL 156.7

Orange - primary a/g for Douglas Fire Protective Association (Douglas
County) + Medford Unit + Grants Pass Unit - 156.0025 - PL 156.7

Red - default ground to ground channel for all fires - unless a
different ground to ground channel is assigned - 151.34 - PL 156.7

pretty sure that all of these channels are listed at RRDB but without
this level of detail

====================

WPQD744 - ODF - statewide - ? extenders ? - 172.225 + 170.575 +
170.425 - unknown input channels - 100 mobiles X 100 watts + 100 MO3
2W/6W + 100 FBT 10W/10W + ? 100 mobiles

only 1 of these are listed at rrdb iirc

these are some of the batch of channels that are used by the feds and
the states for forestry work - maybe both east and west of the
Mississippi River

======================

to sum up - ODF seems to have a boatload of radio channels available
for use on major fires

WPKN654 - Oregon State Forestry

https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=1246781

this radio license from 2022 has 12 FB2T channels - the newer splinter
channels - dont think that any of them have been identified at RRDB
yet - probably used at the large fires

handled on a different channel - KERN 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc - units are sent

so what is the real channel to listen to?

has pagers vs HTs? who uses VHF vs 800? what are the PSAPs? what are
the dispatch points? how are the channels configured? how are they
used? do they have MDTs?

the simplest setup would be - countywide dispatch - all FDs - channel
1 - home channel for all in service units - paging / alerting /
response / arrival / fireground / everything - but that might get
konda busy (unless they java MDTs with status buttons)

odf - interesting comment

from 2023 budget document for oregon department of forestry

The Fire Protection Division's key performance measure assesses
initial attack effectiveness, and the target is to extinguish 98
percent of fires at 10 acres or less. There is a direct correlation
between decreased effectiveness in initial attack and significant
large-fire costs and resource loss. Adequate funding directly affects
the division's ability to provide effective initial attack, resulting
in fewer acres burned and dollars spent on large fires. It also
reduces the amount of wildfire smoke in communities, which protects
vulnerable populations. Based on current needs, anticipated increases
in fire season severity and rising wildfire suppression costs, the
Fire Protection Division expects that existing funding levels will
allow the division to meet the 98 percent initial attack performance
measure in only the mildest fire seasons.

https://www.oregon.gov/odf/aboutodf/Documents/budget/2023-25-odf-fire-protection.pdf

that might be the first time we have ever seen a fire agency directly
say that they want more money. But it is a very vague statement. They
do not say how much more money they need. And they dont say how often
they have mild fire seasons

Very good analysis. Lockheed was already aware by the late '50s that
the wing design of the C-130A (like Tanker 130) would be prone to
metal fatigue, and the wing was entirely redesigned for the C-130B and
all subsequent variants. While all A-models (and not just firefighting
aircraft) have been permanently grounded worldwide, some B-models,
built as long ago as 1960, are still safely operated by some small air
forces.


Excellent. Despite the less than stellar voicing / spelling - the
things that needed to be said were said. The Government abrogated
itself of any responsibility - Leaving the operating companies with
the choice either going broke - or risking lives in planes known to be
in poor condition.

I worked with a gentleman who worked as a maintenance tech for the
forest service. He couldn't get out of that organization quickly
enough. They were cowboyish toward maintenance and inspection
standards.

Adam Schiff Gets John Durham to Admit Russia Helped Trump

Adam Schiff Gets John Durham to Admit Russia Helped Trump

https://www.thedailybeast.com/adam-schiff-gets-john-durham-to-admit-russia-helped-trump

Schiff, a former impeachment manager against Trump, questioned Durham
about whether President Trump flaunted information that was released
by Russian hackers during the 2016 election. Durham repeatedly
insisted he had no knowledge of the matter. But in the midst of the
exchange, Durham clearly stated he doesn't doubt the validity of
evidence showing Russia was trying to help Trump—something many
Republicans have vehemently denied.

I don't think there's any question that Russians intruded into—hacked
into the systems, they released information," Durham said.

"And that was helpful to the Trump campaign, right?" Schiff asked.

After trying to deflect the question, Durham agreed the Russians had
been helpful to the Trump campaign.

"And Trump made use of that, as I said, didn't he, by touting those
stolen documents on the campaign trail over a hundred times," Schiff
said.

Durham said he didn't "really read the newspapers, or listen to the news."

Kern County FD - radio ops

Kern County Fire Department - radio ops - California

seems that KERN 1 is the primary channel - apparently all dispatching
is done on this channel

some or all units have MDTs

there might be a separate paging channel - maybe not

there does seem to be some paging done on KERN 1 - or on some channel
that is covered by the Kern County Fire feed at Broadcastify

all of the other radio channels seem to be used as response / onscene
/ fireground channels

maybe all minor calls are handled on KERN 1 - but any major calls are
moved to a 2ndary channel as soon as the call is dispatched - ie - the
car crash today was assigned KERN 4 on the initial dispatch - and all
response and onscene comms was done on the KERN 4 radio repeater
channel - all comms came thru the feed and were pretty clear - except
that Company 25 had a crappy radio and was cutting out randomly

KERN 1 = 153.785

KERN 4 = ? 154.86 R

york county SC fd info

Eighteen fire districts provide fire protection to all of York County.
Sixteen of the fire departments participate in the York County Fire
Service system. The Rock Hill and Tega Cay Fire Departments operate
independently, however, mutual aid agreements provide aid to all of
the fire departments as needed. The sixteen fire departments have
approximately 700 firefighters. The York County Fire Service has 97
pieces of fire apparatus distributed throughout York County, including
five aerial devices of at least seventy-five feet in height located at
Bethel (1), Flint Hill (1), Lesslie (1), Newport (1), and York (1)
Fire Departments.


The Insurance Service Office (ISO), which determines the insurance
rating for fire departments, has issued the following ISO ratings for
the fire districts of York County:

Department ISO Rating

Bethany-Santiago 5
Bethel 4/10
Bethesda 4/10
Bullock Creek 6/10
Clover 4
Flint Hill 2
Fort Mill 2
Hickory Grove 4
Lesslie 3
McConnells 4
Newport 4
Oakdale 4
Riverview 3
Sharon 4
Smyrna 4/10
York 4

Where a single rate is indicated, the fire district has the same
rating for all structures located within five road miles of a fire
station. Structures located more than five road miles from a fire
station receive a ten (10) ISO rating. (No protection)

pertain just to the units listed to the box in the computer on the

+ 1 BC if one of the ladder trucks on the first alarm is not available

not sure if this have been changed since 2010

signal 10-75 gets 4 eng + 3 lad + 2 BC

signal 7-5 gets 4 eng + 3 lad + 2 BC + 1 deputy chief - (shows as 'all
hands and doubtful' - not exactly sure what that means - it sounds
like if the IC reports all hands or doubtful - then the dispatcher
automatically send the signal 7-5 response - in other words - you will
never hear a field unit request a signal 7-5 - it just gets
transmitted when the dispatcher hears the magic words on the radio

squads and rescues must be considered to be "extra units" above the listed units

Juneau Police and Fire Live Audio Feed (broadcastify.com)

https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/31544

engine 31 plus utility 31 responding with the atv to the glacier -
park ranger got a report that a heavy woman fell past the 4th bridge -
maybe just has lacerations

125 pm edt - ranger is hiking in - fd enroute

129 pm - per dispatcher - park staff / ranger reports ems not needed -
eng 31 and util 31 cancel and return to quarters

never mind

===================

"Control" is the dispatcher

stations are paged on thai channel and respond on this channel - calls
are only verbalized one time - units assigned + type of incident +
address - given just once

use 10-4 to mean OK

heard Medic 1 and Engine 11 go to a sob call at the ferry

heard Medic 3 and Engine 31 go to fall call

also heard Utility 11 and Utility 31

they seem to have 2 staffed stations at least

PD does not respond to ems calls - pd is also on this feed

never have heard a FD under a consent decry - maybe just re hiring -
never about needless deaths - poor policies - poor procedures - etc
