2018 photo of Tokyo volunteer minipumper

https://maps.app.goo.gl/WBe6hDYQs8iRuJNj9

not exactly sure what that is

hose loud

minipumper with maybe a portable pump on a 2 wheel trailer

perhaps each volunteer station in tokyo has a minipumper / mini van
with a portable pump on board - plus a portable pump on a 2 wheel
trailer - have never seen them towing anything with the minipumpers -
maybe the plan is to take the minipumper to the furthest incident -
and to hand draw the 2nd portable pump to a closer scene with the 2
wheel trailer

would be kinda cool to have a small pump and a small tank of water on
the minivan - and to tow a trailer with either a 2nd portable pump or
a tank of water - they could drop the portable pump on the trailer at
a cistern - and lay a supply line to a fire - and use 1 or 2 lengths
of hose as attack lines

we might have all of Nova Scotia + PEI + New Brunswick also - not
positive about that though

we also have major international cities - but Mumbai probably needs

note - uniden seems to change the available updates without telling
anyone - so you have to check their website randomly - thats what it
seems to me anyhow - but if people check for updates weekly - then at

we added fire station maps for several counties - we should have a map

added - Livingston + Madison + Niagara + Orleans + Oswego + Otsego +
Tioga + Wyoming + Yates County

all seem to be straightforward except for Niagara County which seems a
little convoluted (with historic FD names mixed in with other names) -
the Niagara County map needs more work - maybe Radio Reference wiki
will have a good list - the county website does have a list of FDs
iirc but they dont have a list of all of the fire stations

(VSP = Vermont State Police)

(the towns that show 2 police agencies might have a village located
within the Town - with the village area served by the local PD - and
the remaining part of the Town covered by the VSP - maybe)

(iirc all of the FDs have their own VHF highband repeaters - or there
is at least 1 for each Town) - and police use UHF repeaters - EMS
might be on their own VHF highband repeaters or maybe they use FD
channels)

(cell service is probably very sporadic in the entire area)

(damn this was a slog going thru all of this - very complicated -
tough for new dispatchers to get the big handle on)

(note - no areas are covered by sheriff dept)

(Hartford PD also dispatches Chester FD to cover calls in the Town of
Andover - but those 911 calls come in via a different PSAP)

Vermont only has 6 PSAPs

per https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H0cNrFQXwRXpQYKYYsrcVTeL4A-_Vrc1-5uwvl5-XVU/edit?usp=sharing
- vermont only has 6 PSAPs

the 6 PSAPs are - Hartford PD + Lamoille County Sheriff + Saint Albans
PD + Shelburne PD + VSP Westminster + VSP Williston

we dont see any indication that the Interstates have different PSAPs
for wireless 911 calls - but it is a possibility

in any case - lets start to look at what each PSAP does with their 911 calls

see following posts for more info

Braintree Mass - odd PSAP set up

The Braintree Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is located at the
Braintree Police Station located at 282 Union Street and overseen by
the Braintree Police Department. The dispatch personnel provide call
taking for all emergency calls and dispatching services for police
related incidents. Fire and medical incident calls are transferred to
Brewster Ambulance Company for dispatch to the Braintree Fire
Department and their private ambulance service. The Braintree Fire
Departments assigns one fire fighter at their headquarters to monitor
all calls that have been transferred to Brewster Ambulance and assist
with dispatching instructions.

Sept 2023 - Brattleboro FD will take over EMS

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FuyWRknwwQMDfHj1kqZthOtH3Kj3xOvP/view

lots of info here in the Selectmens minutes

AMR got shafted - they proposed using 1 ambulance as a starter - town
was incensed they would propose just 1 ambulance - but AMR clearly
stated they could provide more ambulances for more money - but there
was a big song and dance of BS that won the day

looks like Gokden cross Amb got shafted and Rescue Inc also

not sure what the final outcome will be

Brattleboro population is only 12,000 - shouldnt be that hard to
figure out what to do

for starters - why doesnt the ambulance operate from the hospital? -
at night the ambulance crew can help out the ER crew - as they do in
billions of hospitals around the world

Washington County NY dispatches for East Dorset FD + Dorset FD +
Rupert FD + Cambridge NY FD + Shushan NY FD

Westminster VSP dispatches for Shaftsbury FD

not all of those FDs have stations in Vermont - but they do have first
due areas in Bennington County VT

overall - Bennington County Vermont is serviced by 6 fire dispatch
centers - and 3 of them are not in Vermont - in fact they are in 3
seperate states

therefore - the FDs in Bennington County Vermont are dispatched by
fire dispatch center in 4 different states - and 5 different counties
(since Westminster VSP is in Windham County VT) - or you might say - 6
fire dispatch centers im 5 counties in 4 states

cool

Vermont ESN spreadsheet

https://drive.google.com/file/d/14iARoOX_GRj_bOOZSMro4Us5OVW7WOOM/view?usp=sharing

current info

should list every first response agency, every psap, and every
dispatch agency for every Emergency Service Number zone in Vermont

essentially this list tells every 911 dispatcher who the responsible
agency is very every square inch in Vermont - however - Interstates
may not be indicated separately - not sure about that

we have seen these listings so far - ESN 500 and ESN 512 - university
of vt at burlington - ESN 578 and 579 for Burlington Airport - ESN 568
and 569 for Global Foundries - etc

this info came from

I can just hear the child in someone's house under those lines before
it popped, "Mom, what's for dinner? I'm hungry!" Pop happens,
everything goes dark and then, tiny chicken nuggets start raining down
outside.

If anyone is wondering what happened, it's cause as soon as the birds
all suddenly flew at the same time, it meant the weight of the birds
made the wires bounce and touch or get very close to each other
causing the electric to jump. A few birds might have been injured or
killed but most would be okay as they all went at the same time and
had cleared the area.

I figure it was the mass of birds creating a conductive path between
the lines, and resulting in the arc runaway once the current started
flowing.

@dubmob151 I can see how you came to this conclusion. But no, it
would be a major problem if that was the case and the power lines
would have to be laid out completely differently as large groups of
birds are super common around the world. I have no idea why this
failed so badly. Maybe a storm had past though recently.

@randomly1552 you think the weight of the birds were actually enough
to spring board the high tension lines to the point where they
contacted? That would seem more of a design flaw, as it wasn't like it
was a flock of 20lb Thanksgiving turkeys taking off. That I could
imagine getting able to shift the position of the wires.

Re: wawona's new fire station at yosemite national park

built 2016 actually

WAWONA WILDLAND FIRE FIGHTING FACILITY

Yosemite National Park, California



Siegel & Strain provided design, value analysis, construction
documents and construction administration for the new Wawona Wildland
Fire Fighting Facility. The facility includes apparatus bays, work
areas, training room, offices and support areas.

The building is designed to easily add future bunk rooms and a fitness
room. The project focused on strategies for being energy efficient on
a tight budget. Construction completed in 2016.

SIZE: 5,020 sf
COST: $3.2M
STATUS: Construction completed 2016
CLIENT: National Park Service

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

you can tell its goofy - its called a wildland fire facility but those
are 2 structural engines right there in the closeup photos - and they
are the rigs that are based there / quartered there - there also might
be a wildland engine or two there also - lets check wildcad

wildcad today shows 4 wildland engines at yosemite - all out of
service for the winter maybe - mechanically in service but not staffed
unless they can call someone back to duty or if a structural
firefighter puts on a wildfire hat) - E31 TY3 at El Portal - E32 TY3
at Wawona - E33 TY3 at Valley - E61 TY6 at El Portal - there probably
is a USFS E34 at Hodgdon Meadows also - Water Tender 2 is at El Portal
also - hope that is in service for fire calls in between the fire
stations - like a big bus or truck fire - maybe its not worth it for
the winter

The Subway Disaster That Changed Firefighting

Jul 9, 2023 posted to YT
608,360 views • Jul 9, 2023
The in-depth story of the King's Cross Station Fire 1987 - The Subway
Disaster That Changed Firefighting. The London Fire brigade receives a
call to respond to one of London's underground stations. The King's
Cross is on fire. Four engines are dispatched to the scene and arrive
within minutes. The blaze is at an escalator leading down to one of
the station platforms. It's only a small fire though, nothing a hose
spray can't handle. At least, that's what they think. Instead of a
small fire, the London Tube is struck by the worst blaze in its
history.

game changers in the fire service

major game changers in the fire service

switching from hand drawn to horse drawn to motor powered vehicles

introduction of mobile two way radios - made dispatch much faster in
some situations

sprinkler systems

widespread telephone service - made reporting of fires faster and more accurate

widespread cellular phone service - for fast reporting of urban and
suburban incidents outside of buildings

smoke detectors brought residential fire deaths way down

improved bunker gear - ??? - has it made anyone safer or fire attack
more effective?

upgrade to SCBA - certainly has made entry into dangerous areas much safer

fire protection engineering - high rises and refineries do not go up
in flames daily - some engineers must be doing something right
somewhere

otherwise - hose is still hose - ladders are still ladders - axes are
still axes - water is still water (although FDNY tried Rapid Water -
and some FDs tried CAFS - Boston FD for one)

less successful upgrades - master plans - pre plans - yellow - mini
pumpers - tiller trucks - unions - oaths of office - management school

trauma triage in maine

"Go to nearest Level 1 or 2 Trauma Center if total transport time is
less than 45 minutes, otherwise go to highest-level trauma center
available OR the closest ED which is a trauma system participating
hospital; any questions, contact OLMC"

from page 89 of 183 at
https://www.maine.gov/ems/sites/maine.gov.ems/files/inline-files/2023-Maine-EMS-Protocols-20231116.pdf

olmc = online medical control

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

what if you are in rural maine - the nearest trauma center is 90
minutes away via ground - 60 minutes via helicopter - the nearest
small ED is 15 minutes away

should you head to the small ED? - do they have a helipad? is the helo
coming? can you rendezvous with the helo halfway between the scene and
the trauma center? what can the small ED do that the helo cant do? for
any medical situation

can you have the helo go to the small ED? what gives the best patient
outcome? is there a MD on the helo? would it make any difference? for
stroke and heart attack and trauma - gonna need surgery

could you fly an OR team to the small ED? a surgeon and a gas passer
and a scrub nurse - whatever that is

CITY OF KEENE NH SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH CHESHIRE EMS FOR BACKUP AMBULANCE SERVICES

https://keenenh.gov/fire/press-releases/city-keene-signs-agreement-cheshire-ems-backup-ambulance-services

dec 14 2023 press release

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

bottom line - looks like deluzio ambulance and rescue inc have bit the
dust pretty much - looks like the fire unions did a 180 on the county
ambulance service

possibly at this time - keene fd still operates 2 ambulance 24/7 -
cheshire county might run 1 ambulance 24/7 - brattleboro fd might
operate 1 or 2 ambulances 24/7 now - maybe dummerston vt and newfane
vt and marlboro rescue in vt have started to operate their own
ambulances

none of the outlying towns around keene nh nor brattleboro vt have
ever operated their own ambulances - they always relied on ambulances
coming from 'downtown'

wait till the hospitals step in and take over everything - which they
probably should - the medics can help staff the ERs late at night

Canaan Vermont - very interesting

per https://maps.vermont.gov/e911/Html5Viewer/?viewer=e911responder

Town of Canaan Vermont is covered by Beecher Falls FD + 45th Parallel
Ambulance + Derby Vermont State Police

however - the PSAP is at Williston VSP which is way across at the west
side of the state - police dispatch is from Williston VSP also - but
fire and ambulance dispatch is by the Colebrook New Hampshire PD - the
ambulance is based in colebrook nh also iirc

AND - Beecher Falls FD is the first due FD for areas in Vermont, New
Hampshire, and Quebec Canada - we imagine that 911 calls from Canada
go to a Canadian PSAP and then they call Colebrook NH PD Dispatch if
they want Beecher Falls FD to respond - not sure if 45th Parallel Amb
serves in Quebec or not

note - Beecher Falls FD and 45th Parallel Ambulance also covers Norton
VT and other areas in Vermont

there are 2 ESN in Vermont that get primary service from Colebrook NH
FD - 3 ESN that get coverage by Stratford Hollow NH FD - 2 ESN that
get covered by Groveton NH FD - 1 ESN covered by Lancaster NH FD - 4
ESN covered by Groveton NH Ambulance - 2 ESN covered by Weeks Memorial
Hospital Amb in Lancaster NH - think that covers them all - just
eyeballing the map

there are a couple of other VT ESN that are covered by out of state
providers - over by granville ny and shushan fd in ny - maybe more
also

who dispatches weeks memorial hosp amb? that might be interesting -
too many questions - not enough time

this now shows Brattleboro FD-EMS as the ems provider in Brattleboro

it shows west dummerston fd-ems for dummerston

it shows newbrook fd ems for newbrook

it shows newbrook fd ems for townshend

it shows marlboro rescue for marlboro

it shows rescue inc just for vernon and guilford

my my

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

history

there were 2 ambulance services in brattleboro - rescue inc had 2
stations and was the primary provider for several towns - there also
was a funeral home that had an ambulance and they did transfer work -
maybe even advanced interhospital transfers - iirc they closed like in
2018 - brattleboro fd has 2 stations and are all fully paid staff -
but iirc the west station only had 2 people on duty 24/7

must check local news for updates in the last 6 months

ESN544 in pownal vermont

why does pownal vt have 2 ESNs? are calls from ESN544 routed via an
telephone exchange in Massachusetts? esn544 is located right on the
massachusetts border

here is esn544 -

note - dispatch points are listed - bennington pd for fire and ems -
pd is dispatched by state police - who might be the only police agency
in pownal also

Re: vermont 911 viewer online map

https://maps.vermont.gov/e911/Html5Viewer/?viewer=e911responder

this is a different version - maybe for lower bandwidth users

vermont 911 viewer online map

https://maps.vermont.gov/e911/Html5Viewer/?viewer=e911viewer

has fire stations and police stations iirc

search box is in upper right corner

iirc there is a fire station shown in Norton VT - but that might not
really exist - its a border crossing area so who knows if the Border
Patrol worries about their building burning down or not
