info on secret service radios

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/new-usss-radios.462398/

we read thru the info kinda quickly but the bottom line seems to be -
bank 1 is the local secret service channels - the other banks have
freqs for particular cities - maybe divided east coast vs west coast

not sure if they can scan across 2 zones - or if they can set various
levels of priority

Igniting Change: Maui Brush Fires

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUeQIaJivqs

7 minute video from 2 months ago

This short film, produced by three high school students in our Huliau
Environmental Filmmaking Club, explores the causes and impacts of
brush fires on Maui. It also highlights actionable steps that the
public can take to prevent these devastating incidents. Created in
partnership with the Maui Fire Department and Maui Nui Marine Resource
Council, the students deliver a powerful message that educates and
inspires viewers to take action.

usa - rural areas have highest murder rates

"From 2016 to 2020, the two U.S. counties to experience the most gun
homicides per capita were rural, Phillips County, Ar., with 55.45
age-adjusted homicides per 100,000 people, and Lowndes County, Al.,
with 48.36 age-adjusted homicides per 100,000. During the same years,
13 of the 20 U.S. counties with the most gun homicides per capita were
rural. Some 80 percent of these 20 counties are in states that
received an "F" grade for their weak gun laws, say the Giffords Law
Center to Prevent Gun Violence's 2021 annual state scorecard rankings.

Overall, the total gun death rate for rural communities—when
age-adjusted per 100,000 people—was 40 percent higher than it was for
large metropolitan areas in 2020. The center contends that "despite
negative media attention, many large cities are proportionately safer
from gun violence than their rural counterparts. It notes that
Chicago's Cook County ranks 79th for firearm homicide rates, and
Philadelphia County ranks 38th."

sacramento cops shoot guy on train

17 minutes - interesting - per comments - he was bullying people till
the cops showed up - but apparently he never actually stabbed anyone -
around 8:00 he is shot - apparently twice - after bean bag rounds
freaked him out (per comments)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWy4lfy1XTY

top comment - The fact that Secure Mental Institutions have been shut
down, allowing people like this guy around innocent civilians , is one
of the biggest reasons our Cities have declined so badly

(did homicide rates rise or fall after mental hospitals closed in
1980s - iirc homicide rates fell in 1990s and 2000s)

somewhere in this video Dr Li reports - research showed that people

leads to the idea that pomegranate juice can be useful in cancer
control

Water access and use conflicts mount with Lahaina fire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM7O23nNp78

4 minute news report

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

lets review the main stream media coverage of the fire

the sirens were not blown - (probably irrelevant)

the water was not released - (probably irrelevant or blatantly false
per this news report)

bad people trying buy land - (probably irrelevant)

------------------------------------

lets review the review

view everything from the main stream media with a huge amount of skepticism

--------------------------------------

yesterday we saw a video with a firefighter saying that even if they
had 100 fire trucks, there was nothing they could do

not so fast - if the fire started at just 1 place - and you had 100
fire trucks right there - the fire would have been immediately snuffed
out - and Lahaina would be still standing

otherwise - whats the point of having ANY fire trucks ?

----------------------------------

the most shocking news from yesterday - there were only 4 pumpers at
the fire - oh baby

Re: Maui fire video - start of fire

just noticed that when we see the ty3 and ty6 engines - it says
"Hawaii DLNR" in the upper right corner - dept lands and natural
resources perhaps

maui - update - water tender(s)

maui - who is that water tender? - "recycled water" - that must be a
private agency

https://youtu.be/3WEeO6IfFSM?si=dCxcf74Pe-2Wjc3j&t=117

there seems to be 1 or 2 private water tenders in that video clip

as we said before - this news report seems to be conflating 2
different fires - the fire in the woods with the folks with the garden
hose maybe was at midnight in the UpCountry 25 miles east of Lahaina -
the wire down alongside the road was Lahaina possibly

not sure why the arc in the woods was at midnight - but the people
with the garden hose was in daytime - maybe it is 3 different fires -
the people with the garden hose got a green TY3 engine and 2 red ty6
engines iirc - maybe all state forestry engines - maui county fd has
yellow rigs

maui fire - interview of fire chief

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp34Ttnv3uQ

many people were called back - they run a 3 platoon system - 24 hours
on - 48 hours off

450 - crews didnt know where other crews were located

----------

public comments at yt

did it take 1 hour or 6 hours for fire to burn thru town

why wasnt town evacuated before the fire?

why didnt fire marshall work to reduce fire hazards in the town?

why hasnt the fire chief resigned?

what was the deal with the water supply? the fire chief said he didnt
know - but he didnt say if it ever happened before - (we know for a
fact that it happened in 1993 at the Oakland Hills Fire)

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

imho - assuming that they had double staffing on duty - there was
probably little else that could have been done by the FD crews

imho - communities have to take a very hard look at the REAL threats
that they face - and stop listening to main stream media

iirc the FD only has 19 engines to cover the entire island - Lahaina
is just 1 small part of the island - in the Los Angeles area they
often throw 15 engines and 5 helicopters on the initial dispatch for a
brush fire

what would it take to kill that fire?

https://twitter.com/HotshotWake/status/1695462651545923963

1 minipumper flowing 100 gpm - but they would need to get within 25
feet of the fire probably which would require huge shields of some
sort - hey Red Adair - where are ya?

1 helo dropping 500 gallons in a precision shot - not sure if possible
due to hot updrafts

a big laser to cut down all of those trees in 10 seconds

a main battle tank to drop the trees and blow out the fire

5 helos to water down all trees within 1/4 mile - might need 10 big
helos in 1 minute - might be too dangerous to fly them so close to
each other without some sort of electronic precision inter-aircraft
flight control system

if that dozer could get right up to those trees and knock them down -
that could kill the fire

how about one of them huge fans to blow air and water and dirt all of
those trees

an industrial pumper could probably hit the base of that fire OK - but
would suck a 3000 gallon water tender dry in 1 minute

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

"The American Ambulance Association revealed a study in 2022 that
found the overall turnover among paramedics and EMTs ranges from 20 -
30 percent each year."

how much of this is due to emts and medics becoming firefighters or
fire officers or fire drivers?

apparently a 6 or 7 man crew on the engine going to a overheated air
conditioner in a home

4 people ride in the open space behind the cab on the big pumper tanker

streets are very narrow in places - took 15 minutes for engine crew to
get to scene after walking last quarter mile

mini pumper got there way before them

at least 2 firefighters had portable radios (seen near end of video
when at the house and just before) - maybe the officers on the 2
engines - no one else seemed to have portable radios

they really need seats or nets or something for the 4 guys standing
behind the cab on the pumper/tanker

no thermal cameras - no one even touched the wall to see if it was hot
- wall was scorched about 2 feet long from what we saw - or maybe it

During a news conference Tuesday, Maui Police Chief John Pelletier

where and what time those efforts occurred. The Associated Press has
filed public records requests for location reports and other
documentation including video and internal communications to clarify
the details of the police and fire response, but Maui County has not
yet released that information.

Yan Wan from UT Arlington - Texas

------------------------

this will be the system that keeps all drones from crashing into each
other - we recommend that all takeoffs default to due north with 45%
slope (just to make it easy to remember and plot) - we also recommend
that all flight paths follow roadways in city cores - and that 911
feet be assigned as the public safety altitude

anti annexation scanner feed

" I don't know why the City of Springfield feeds drop out sometimes as
they are on the same scan list and share the same radio system as the
county. I don't get compensated for the the feed and I do this of my
own free will. I may remove the Springfield talk groups because of the
complaints and I have little use for the City of Springfield
Commisioners and City Manager anyways. If you are a Springfield
resident, you should contact your local officials and tell them to
stop destroying the townships with annexation. "
