Re: Weston, Conn. mansion destroyed by fire after residents try to fry turkey in garage

there was some radio traffic on the fore coords TG

TG 5103

"southwest" was the dispatcher

HQ 7 / HQ Cat 7 / county car 7 was heard responding and arriving at
the fire - arrival time was 445 ish

at 1715 pm - HQ7 requested a Brookfield engine and a bethel tanker to
cover the georgetown station - 'southwest' took the message and sent
the units - but not on this tg

later ridgefield car 4 was heard talking to hq7 on this channel -
ridgefield had 1 unit at scene with 1 emt and 1 emr - hq7 told
ridgefield car 4 that his unit could return once weston got their
(relief) engine staffed

ridgefield tanker 4 or 10 might have tested on the tg also

otherwise no traffic on the tg was saved at broadcastify calls

TG was called "UASI" - "u asi"

this partially explains why radio reference does not show much in the
way of fire mutual aid channels for fairfield county CT

we suspect that the actually call from southwest to bethel and
brookfield went out via 154.265 - but broadcastify apparently does not
have that channel

this is fairfield county connecticut
