dave statter vs wash dc 911

https://x.com/STATter911/status/1837322588130808093

they pray for dave statter's death daily - no doubt about it

keywords - retired investigative reporter

Dave Statter is actively fighting the oligarch's whether he knows it
or not - the oligarch's dont give a damn about people dying stupid
death's in Washington DC - in fact they enjoy it - it gives them a big
hit of 'power'

If they did give a damn there would be daily reports out of Wash DC
911 with response times and save rates

there is no reason that nyc cannot have 1 to 2 minute response times

Essex-Windsor EMS hitting cardiac arrest response time targets - canada

https://www.am800cklw.com/news/essex-windsor-ems-hitting-cardiac-arrest-response-time-targets-but-ambulance-chief-wants-it-higher.html

Provincial regulations have established a six-minute response time for
patients suffering a sudden cardiac arrest, with land ambulance
services expected to be above that target at least 55 percent of the
time.

that is worded a little oddly - but it seems to mean that they aim for
an average response time of 6 minutes

note - absolutely no mention of fire or police first responders in this article

note - absolutely no mention of 60% death rate for 6 minute response times

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

" USSS is the lead Federal Agency responsible for the overall security
plan ▪ FBI is the lead federal agency for crisis management ▪ FEMA is
lead for consequence management planning and coordination"

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

the guy at the top is biden - he choses 5 people to interact with
directly per standard ICS theology - he should pick - mayor of NYC + 1
pentagon guy + 1 state dept guy + 1 DOJ guy + maybe 1 medical guy /
DHHS / maybe FEMA - whoever he is buddys with

DOJ guy should interact with SS + FBI + whoever maybe FEMA

basically - the way this usually works is - FEMA does the cleanup -
military does the actual fighting - prevention should fall to NSA /
CIA / FBI etc

probably the biggest misconceptions by the public are - all FBI agents
are commandos - FEMA has invisible rescue helicopters - CIA knows
everything about everyone

probably the biggest misconception in public safety ranks is - Secret
Service has magical planning powers - ( why exactly would a bodyguard
agency or counterfeiter agency have magical planning powers? )

the actual plan is simple - protect attendees from airport to hotel to
UN - when something goes wrong - send in swat and hazmat and eod and
DMAT etc

the biggest problem is - everyone has their own hazmat and dmat and
eod and swat teams

the 2nd biggest problem is - its a big big big world with lots and
lots and lots of technology and science

henderson county nc radios - crazy stuff

https://www.radioreference.com/db/browse/ctid/1931 - henderson county
nc - there is a countywide fire dispatch repeater and 3 or 4
countywide fire tac channels (base and mobile) - AND - all 13 of the
local FDs also have their own local repeater - and most have a simplex
local tac channel also - and this is all on VHF highband - and this
might ALL be a backup to the countywide vhf highband NXDN NEXEDGE 4800
TRS

this seems to be a rugged hilly mountainous county

in addition - county ems and county rescue share a vhf highband
repeater system - and have private / local channels as well

the sheriff and 3 local PDs also have vhf highband radio channels -
sheriff has/had 3 repeaters for dispatch - and 3 or 4 tac channels - 1
of the tac channels is a repeater channel

this might be the most robust radio-wise county in the USA

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

https://www.radioreference.com/db/sid/7118 - viper - statewide trs -
700T and 800T - henderson county has talkgroups on this system but
they seem to be backup channels

not sure if the state agencies primarily use VIPER or 150 mhz or 47 mhz

even the feds have multi talkgroups on viper

state wildlife has a dozen talkgroups for prescribed burns

blue ridge parkway is now listed as TG 60581 on VIPER

all medevacs use VIPER apparently

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

note - hendersonville is in henderson county - henderson nc is in Vance County

note - henderson rescue is the same as henderson county rescue - they
have ambulances and technical rescue trucks

note - henderson county EMS is a different agency than henderson
county rescue - henderson county EMS just has ambulances

its never simple in the usa

2024 specifications for inhouse repeater systems

are there 1 or 2 systems? is it simulcast or not?

Two different Public Safety Radio Systems covering the Hendersonville
Area are included in the scope of the requirement. These systems are
an analog and digital MHz systems. Both systems are trunked VHF
systems. The systems are both multi-site simulcast networks with
generally strong outdoor coverage in Henderson County

maybe they dont mean synchronized simulcast? maybe they mean chain
style simulcast - all 6 xmit sites are linked in a chain - that dont
seem right? how would radios switch from site to site? manually?

https://www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/692-24/transcript-fy24-mayor-s-management-report-adams-administration-has-driven-major-improvements-in

"Second of the mayor's initiatives is to create paramedic response
units. So as you know, the paramedics are for the highest degree of
emergency and care. And oftentimes when they come to a crisis, they
may not be at that level. But they're still the ones who could
transport the patient to the hospital. And that redirects the
paramedics to other really high-level jobs. So these paramedics are
going to be coming with the EMTs. And if it is a lower-level response,
then the EMTs can take the patient to the hospital. And that will
relieve the paramedics to go to high-level calls for service, which
will also save time."

they are also doing telehealth and EMT liaisons at hospitals

more info on the Airport Fire in Orange County Calif

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/airport-fire-in-the-oc.478568/

there should be a comm plan included in the Incident Action Plan (IAP)

generally speaking - in Orange County - the USFS has wildfire
responsibility for USFS lands (FRA) - County Fire has responsibility
for SRA and LGA

Cal Fire used to have stations in Orange County to cover SRA - but
they closed like 30 years ago - and Cal Fire now pays Orange County
Fire to cover the state responsibility areas (SRA)

Based on this - County Fire is in charge of fires in the lowlands -
and USFS is in charge of fires in the mountains - at the borders they
both respond under joint mutual aid plans - and if the fire is burning
in both areas - they will form a Unified Command - both agencies will
jointly develop tactics to control the fire - and either OrCo or USFS
will be designated as the "ordering point" - ie the dispatch center
that is responsible for fulfilling requests from the Incident Command
Post (ICP)

now 130 homes destroyed on Airport Fire and 33 homes destroyed in the
Bridge Fire

notice how the numbers of damaged structures is very low compared to
the number of destroyed structures - this tells us that when the fire
moves into a neighborhood, it causes nearly total destruction of all
buildings

we have commented about this before iirc - it is not hard to figure
out - fire does not take out any homes until the FD bails out of the
neighborhood - and then there is NO ONE around to do any firefighting
- so of course, anything that is smoldering, keeps smoldering until it
cant smolder no more - ie - total loss - this is the nature of fire
and combustion - fire does not slow down just because the FD left the
neighborhood

pretty sure that this has already discussed in the wildfire community
- but apparently no one is being assigned to mop up patrols

did LA City send any units to these fires? did San Francisco? did San Diego?

of course 160 homes is not the end of the world - when the big quake
hits they will lose 160,000 homes

some unit arrived in 3 minutes - unknown what type of unit

this fire might be on broadcastify

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

On 9/13/2024 shortly after 8pm Lawrence County Fire Rescue units were
dispatched to a reported residential structure fire in the New
Prospect Fire District with persons possible trapped inside. Within 3
minutes of the call being dispatched a LCFR unit arrived on the scene
and confirmed a two story residential structure with heavy fire
conditions on the rear of the residence being driven by high winds.
Moments later an automatic aid Engine Company from Lawrenceburg Fire
Department arrived on scene along with several New Prospect Fire
units. Units on scene initiated an aggressive attack on the fire while
also making a canvas for victims. Units on the scene were able to make
contact with the homeowner to verify that the homeowners were not in
the residence. Due to inadequate water supply for fire suppression
several LCFR engine and tanker companies responded to the scene to
conduct a water shuttle operation to provide water for fire
suppression. Units remained on the scene for nearly 4 hours before
returning to service.

Despite the efforts of first responders it is believed that at least
one family pet did not survive the fire. We ask that you keep the
homeowners in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days as they
deal with this loss. See less

The Boston Highway Train Incident Explained - 1969

https://youtu.be/ScD8ZO7HZSg?si=bo0UkjDGREU4loJH

10 minute video

In January 1969, a dramatic incident occurred when three Penn Central
locomotives derailed and blocked the northbound lane of the Southeast
Expressway in South Boston. The locomotives, part of a freight train,
were traveling on a bridge over the highway when the tracks gave way
due to poor maintenance and the bridge's deterioration. The engines
fell onto the highway, disrupting traffic and causing a major scene.
The Penn Central Railroad, which had formed only a year earlier from
the merger of the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central, was
already struggling financially and operationally, and the derailment
highlighted the infrastructure issues plaguing the company. The
incident underscored broader challenges in the rail industry at the
time, contributing to Penn Central's eventual bankruptcy in 1970.

updates on wildfires

what we learned today - the fema totals for damaged and destroyed
buildings does match the totals shown on the south zone daily report
as "structures destroyed"

therefore - it seems that south zone has more detailed info than they
routinely publish - assuming that the info is flowing from south zone
to fema and not from fema to south zone

Line Fire - 38,000 acres - 25% contained - 1 home destroyed - $23.6M
cost to date of suppression efforts (CTD)

Airport Fire - 23,000 acres - 9% contained - 83 homes destroyed - 24
other blds destroyed - $15.8M CTD

Bridge Fire - 52,000 acres - 3% contained - 8 homes destroyed - 11
other blds destroyed - $12M CTD

Borel Fire - in Kern County - 59,000 acres - 223 structures destroyed - $42M CTD

CTD is calculated by adding up the hourly costs of each resource
assigned to the fire - they were gonna get paid 1 way or the other -
whether they stayed in the fire station waiting for calls - or if they
actually went to a fire and did work - so its a accounting deal -
thats all

its not like the ANF is gonna get hit with a $12M bill for the Bridge
Fire - (wheres my money!)

County Oregon)

malheur county nv has 2 time zones

As with many cities, Malheur County's cities had functioned with both
city time and railroad time. This changed by order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on May, 13th 1923 with cities adopting train
time.[7][8] Malheur County is still one of the few counties in the
United States with two time zones. Most of the county is in the
Mountain Time Zone, but a small portion in the south is in the Pacific
Time Zone, indicative of that area's proximity to its main service
town, Winnemucca, Nevada.

county district attorney - police corruption


Sean "El Jefe" McDonough
@Leopardo8
PEOPLE: CAN WE STOP WITH MYTH, THE FAIRYTALE THAT OFFICER JOHN O'KEEFE
WAS MURDERED BY KAREN READ? ITS OVER…AND THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE SAYS SO. JOHN O'KEEFE WAS KILLED INSIDE 34 FAIRVIEW AND A
BUNCH OF CORRUPT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FRAMED KAREN READ. THATS THE
STORY/FULL STOP! AS YOU ALL KNOW I AM PUTTING THIS MURDER SQUARELY ON
BRIAN ALBERT AND THE HUMP BRASS OF THE BPD. I AM GOING STRAIGHT INTO
THE BELLY OF THE BEAST...NO TURNING BACK! But in a strange way, the
murder JOHN O'KEEFE is the only thing that may expose the infected
Command Staff the bred officers like BRIAN ALBERT. A drunkard, a
womanizer and a bully. From honest cops being murdered in line of duty
and the corrupt investigators who allowed them ALL to walk free. 1.
Albert Lewis Murdered Detective Sherman Griffiths… The case was
dismissed because BPD Cops perjured themselves and planted evidence.
2. Sean Ellis was charged in the murdered of Detective Mulligan 4
trials later and years in prison, the charges ultimately were
withdrawn. 3. Detective Dan Linskey ( The Chief ) botched a drug raid
(wrong address) which ended in the tragic death of Reverend Accelyne
Williams. Questions with Affidavits/ Confidential informants/ report
writing. Linskey went unscathed. A Commanding Officer forced
suspension who was just "covering." This behavior and lack of
supervision, by command staff has been accepted and covered for since
BPD HQ was located in Pemberton Square in 1880's. These Commanders
have been a failure which has culminated in the violent death of
Active Duty Officer John O'Keefe. AND NOT ONE WORD HAS BEEN SAID BY
THESE HUMPS! While they didn't partake in this cowardly act of
violence, their lack of professionalism and obvious lack of
qualifications to hold said positions surely set this in motion! They
had the opportunity, they backed the WRONG cops while attacking and
threatening THE GOOD ONES! What I am missing? BRIAN FLEMING tell me
where I am wrong!!! All that was required was a seat at the big boys
table… or even behind the steering wheel of driving the most powerful
political figure in the City of Boston. My promise to ALL is that I
REFUSE TO STOP until REAL JUSTICE is given to OFFICER JOHN O'KEEFE.
REAL JUSTICE will come with the Federal Indictments of ALL who were
responsible for his murder, the coverup and the BPD hierarchy that,
for whatever reason, chose TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY!

is turner drop zone at devens still in operation?

wildfire attack in the usa

1. when fire danger is high - more staff is put on duty - more
vehicles are staffed - and staffing is increased on already staffed
vehicles - every agency has a step up plan or staffing plan or
response plan or mobilization plan ish - its all in writing

2. extra units are sent on first alarms when fire danger is higher

3. radio waves travel faster during red flag days - and computers work faster

4. sometimes extra fire units are prepositioned in the affected area
from outside areas - this can be coordinated at regional or state or
national levels

5. all federal type 1 helos and type 2 fire helos and airtankers and
type 1 hand crews are considered to be 'national assets' - therefore
Boise gets to decide where they are assigned and/or prepositioned

6. some state forestry agencies will surge some of their equipment
from 1 part of the state to another to get ahead of fires - some state
agencies dont seem to have enough manpower to surge anyone from
anywhere to anywhere

7. "call when needed" equipment is privately owned assets that have
written agreements with wildfire agencies to help out when needed -
this ranges from engines to dozers to tenders to kitchen crews to
helicopters to airtankers - all (or most) of the employees are trained
to federal wildfire standards - ie - the private engines have 'engine
bosses' and firefighter 1 and 2 staff - just like the government
owned engines - both the feds and the states use these 'call when
needed' agreements

8. many federal wildfire desk jockeys also work on type 2 hand crews -
these are 'on call' hand crews - their primary jobs are not on the
handcrews - the handcrew assignments are considered to be '2ndary'
jobs - this is ak the 'local fire militia' which is a colloquial or
slang term

9. apparently it is quite common in 2024 for federal type 6 engines to
travel coast to coast on fire assignments - and its very common for
fire 'overhead' (commanders) to travel coast to coast - there must be
tons of money spent on airfares for all of these people

10. when all else fails - there are some military infantry units who
have basic wildfire training - and they can be mobilized to help out
at huge wildfires - but this only happens once every 5 years ish

11. USFS used to have a metric called MEL - "most effective level" -
or maybe - 'most efficient level' - they would plot out costs of fire
control vs losses due to fires - when they ended up spending more than
what they saved - they would cut back on firefighting expenditures -
not sure if anyone still does those calculations

12. all agencies have written "draw down levels" - the 'draw down
levels' mandates the minimum number of fire fighting resources (etc)
they have to keep in their area - this puts a limit on the amount of
resources that they can send to help other agencies or areas

13. there might not be any standards that dictate how fast a fire call
is dispatched

14. there might not be any written standards that dictate how fast a
fire unit has to mobilize for a call - but 2 to 5 minutes seems
typical - just like a structural FD - shortest for chiefs and engines
- maybe longest for helos and airtankers (maybe 10 to 20 minutes)

kelseyville calif had a wildfire yesterday

https://x.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1833873595795415279

lake county iirc

why is smoke blowing to left and right? what kind of psycho fire is that?

gonna guess that a helo with a bucket or snozzle from cal fire or usfs
or cwn showed up and sucked that lake dry

east bay regional parks helo is too far away - same with contra costa
county - if they have a fire helo - no military helos are staffed
apparently - 'police' helos dont do bucket drops in calif - medevacs
dont do bucket drops in calif - media helos dont do bucket drops - no
utility company helos around maybe - no sar helos do bucket drops -
uscg forgetaboutit - so if usfs or calfire cant supply a helo - then
they are screwed on the ground
