their station in behind the martial arts academy
accredited primary rescue agency - per lettering on rig
maybe they serve in place of SES or PD rescue squad - and maybe there
is no fire jaws in the area - not sure why - there are 3 or 4 paid or
paid on call stations in the area
rochester mass - 2 missing juveniles
rochester is on bristol county / plymouth county border near wareham in general
US Capitol PD can kill 200,000 people
2000 cops X 100 bullets each = 200,000 dead

orange co calif - first fire detected by AI
video cam spotted fire and AI called home
remote control drone then responded and put out the fire
no humans involved at all
not really a fire - just some computers showing off
lets remember this is 2 months
lets remember this is 2 months when putin has killed 10M in the usa
because the racists elected trump
oh wait - lets reconsider that - since trump is a con man - then his
racism is probably a con also - yes - he just plays a racist to get
elected
racists gonna be so disappointed
lock her up!
stop the steal!
lol lots of love
note to self - check for news storys about roger stone + michael flynn
+ ali alexander + the infowars guy
fox 61 reporting the trump, mtg, and fox news are all racist trash
VERIFYING how misinformation about the New Orleans attack suspect's

some radio traffic
radio traffic to text caption does not work well but it is trying hard
live scanner audio and much more - openness
heard marquette fire loud and clear
non radio ref feed - non broadcastify feed - nonradioref - not radio
Minneapolis / Saint Paul airport - camera can track planes
live atc audio also
live scanner audio - openness

security press conference - wash dc
vote count - Jan6
carter - jan 7 to jan 9
inauguration - multi events
possibly 7,800 military will be activated if I heard correctly - that
request is still pending - mentioned around 1117 am et
4K cops are coming in from across the usa
fbi is in charge - or secret service - or metro pd - or ????
bottom line - 100% sure that no one has 1 radio channel that can work
at every location in DC - from the white house situation room to
subways to bunkers to command centers to target hazard basements - no
one has a radio channel that will reach 100% of the locations - not
even DOD CIA FirstNet - no one - 100% sure - maybe 99.999999999999%
sure - in fact - would guess that someone with a $10 TracPhone would
have the best coverage - this is a huge Archilles heel - oh well
the best that they can hope for - 1 radio channel has good dispatcher
to dispatcher coverage - and every bld in downtown DC has at least 1
person listening to the channel 24/7
consider this simple scenario - some security guard in some bld doing
rounds finds a guy with a bazooka - who does he call on his radio? -
the guy at the front desk? - then who does the guy at the front desk
call? - he has to call 911 - so what does 911 do? - 911 has to figure
out who has responsibility for policing that bld - lets hope that all
of that info is in the DC CAD
vets are 241% more shootey
mass shooters - live shooters - bomby bombers etc

zerg90 map for Wayne County MS updated
added county fd station 61 - odd location
the county has 3 FDs - county fd + 2 city FDs - total of approx 20
fire stations - county fd has approx 17 stations - each county station
might have 1 engine and 1 rescue - but most county stations have 3
bays iirc - maybe they also have brush trucks and tankers
state forestry has 2 dozers - usfs has 1 work center - maybe with 2 dozers also
maybe only 3 paid firefighters in the entire county
about the plane crash in fullerton california
most radio traffic was loud and clear - comms paths seemed to be OK -
but there was sometimes loud background noises like saw running - some
random keyups with loud noises - maybe someone using a saw
approx 30 minutes into the incident a 2nd talkgroup was assigned to the incident
5 minutes later the IC announced that the 2nd TG would be the 'command channel'
5 minutes later someone said - guess they moved everyone to 2 Oscor
not sure what they use command channel for in this case - would think
it would be for the chiefs aides - but they dont have any chiefs aides
- do they expect half the people there to scan between 2 channels?
about the barricades in new orleans
the command staff was probably thinking - we cant stop anyone from
walking down the street with a backpack and suitcase full of bombs and
guns and knives and flamethrowers and acid bombs - so why worry about
a rogue pickup truck?
the perp was maybe aiming for a death toll of 100 - drive the crowd
towards his bombs
payette idaho - man arrested for putting IED on railroad car
iirc there is a payette scanner on YT
40yo white male
new Magirus pumper from germany

wrap around ambient lighting
light tower at rear
portable generator is the largest piece of onboard equipment - not
sure what they use it for - maybe it could power a nursing home in a
power failure
what is the big bag? - is that a boat or a jumper cushion?
simple pump - simple driving controls
pump even has display screen with instructions for operating the pump
- since volunteer firefighters might not operate the pump for 2 years
between fires
stateline ms - 3 dead in robbery
rural area - on AL / MS border - between Hattiesburg MS + Mobile AL +
Meridian MS
apparently happened at 6 am - could not have been much traffic on the road then
did he abandon the stolen car?
did he have light colored gloves on?

Re: rural fire station north of sydney australia

rural fire station north of sydney australia
1 small brush truck and 1 large brush truck
repair man working on a small motor - his van is parked across the street
they could fit 2 large trucks in there - but then they loose the
ability to go up any narrow pathways - which would you choose? maybe
it depends on the distance to the nearest structural fire station and
nearest water carrier and availability of hydrants with good pressure
and the terrain and the number of homes in the area
approx 300 homes in area in 3 groups in the midst of large wooded
areas - multi rfs and nsw fire stations in the area - on the ocean
coastline - actually couple of miles inland but on an inlet or lake or
river - the town across the river seems to be 5 square miles of wall
to wall homes
so they could have major fires come thru there and take out thousands
of homes - depending on how well the homes are built
not sure why Blackwell is wall to wall one story and 2 story homes -
lots of trees there
health services union suv - australia
maybe a home health aide?
seems to be a 2 state level agency since they cover nsw + act + qld
NSW Australia - list of Local Government Areas
iirc the Rural Fire Service uses the same boundaries as the LGAs
similar to towns and counties in USA maybe

https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/13326/NSWRFS_AreaCommands_A3.pdf

this should match the LGA info above
bush fire risk plan - central coast - nsw australia
draft plan - public can comment till feb 2024
will be interesting to see if they mention dispatch times and response times
just downloaded the draft plan - it is a 68 page pdf - lets see what it says
central coast district has 57 rural fire brigades aka 57 rural fire
stations ish - each with 1 large tanker (1000 gallon water ish) and 1
small brush truck (200 gallon water ish) each - minimum
ICS as used by London FD / incident command system
what does operational commander and monitoring officer really do?
are they like Ops Chief and Safety Chief in USA?
does anyone go to the rear of the bld in London or do they fight all
fires from the front of the building?
its great that London FD puts this info on their website - cant think
of any USA FDs that do it - but maybe they do
london fd has 8 mobile command posts / mcp / command unit
each is staffed by 2 sub fire officers - maybe like captains or
lieutenants in USA
MCP is sent on any incident with 3 engines assigned etc - if 6 engines
are assigned - a 2nd MCP is sent
fdny has just 1 MCP
lafd has ? zero ?
boston might staff their MCP only on 4 th alarms or higher - they used
to have a mini MCP also - unknown if that is still staffed by
dispatchers - the radio system is so good that MCP is not really
needed by BFD
note - London FD uses low power simplex channels at fires - iirc the
dispatchers have no way to hear those channels - unless a MCP is at
the scene and verbally relays messages
london fire brigade has 11 aerials
A21 Paddington
G30 Wembley
G40 Hayes
A24 Soho
H21 Clapham
A33 Tottenham
E22 Greenwich
E31 Forest Hill
Our 64m ladders are located at the following locations in London:
F41 Dagenham
E35 Old Kent Rd
H34 Wimbledon
they have 100 stations and approx 150 engines - but only 11 aerials -
and maybe 10 rescues - maybe 4 mobile command posts

New Years Day - 70 fatal crashes every year in USA
approximately 70 Americans losing their lives annually on Dec. 31 due
to alcohol or drug influence. During the 2022 New Year's Day holiday
period, 37% of fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver.
Alcohol impairment accounts for a staggering 62% of all New Year's Eve
crash deaths
per bing AI

boston's first death in 2025 - maybe not
maybe not even the first major 911 failure of 2025
listening to 462.975R over the air - boston ems ie boston municipal
ambulance service - and checking the radio recordings at Broadcastify
0209 AM approx - EMS dispatcher sends P5 from Faulkner Hospital to 98
Brighton Ave in Brighton for a cardiac arrest - ( thats at least a 10
minute run iirc )
0211 AM - A20 sent from Saint Elizabeths Hospital to 98 Brighton Ave
Unit 1 for a cardiac arrest
0215 AM approx - A20 reports it is a gas station - call has been
downgraded per EMS dispatcher - P5 is cancelled
0216 AM - E41 asks for a better location - CPR in progress per FD
dispatcher ( - or maybe the FD dispatcher said - it was reported as
CPR in progress )
0217 AM - FD dispatcher cancels E41 - says there is an updated location
0218 AM - EMS dispatcher updated the address to 98 Brayton Rd for A20
0222 AM - E51 at scene - ( E51 from Fanueil Square fire station -
right down the street from 98 Brayton Rd )
0225 AM - E51 reports they have EMS at the scene - and - that it is
NOT a cardiac arrest
0237 AM - A20 to St Elizabeths Hospital with patient
what did we learn? boston ems dispatchers have no clue about where
their units are located nor their availability - initially A15 was
sent from ?Dock Square? in downtown - but A20 luckily heard the call
and jumped it
what else did we learn? the CAD probably has no clue if either
Brighton Ave or Brayton Rd are legitimate addresses - the EMS
dispatcher certainly had no clue that it was actually a gas station -
or didnt even think about it - "Unit 1" indicates a housing unit
usually - not a gas station
what more did we learn? Boston 911 has a huge problem with sending
units to wrong addresses - this has been going on for 10 or 20 years
now imho - of course no one gives a rats ass because no oligarchs are
involved
there is a good possibility that the calltaker did not ask for a cross
street - which would of course confuse the hell out of 99% of Boston
911 callers - or maybe not - just guessing - BFD and BEMS seldom if
ever mention cross streets on the radio - BFD does give a nearest box
for each run
there is a 99.99999% chance that the calltaker misheard the address -
or the person who put the address in the CAD misheard the address -
but you would never expect a caller to say 98 Brighton Ave vs 98
Brayton Road for the address
if a cellphone was used - why didnt 98 Brayton Rd come up on the
calltakers display? - or a nearby location from gps plotting?

ran towards it

more info about boston ems radio channel lineup
Frequencies
EMS Citywide Dispatch - 462.9750
EMS Tactical 3 - 462.950 - Incident Operations
EMS Tactical 6 - 453.775 - Incident Operations
EMS Tactical 7 - 460.525 - Incident Operations and Backup Dispatch
While there are multiple other EMS Tactical frequencies Tac 3 is their
main one for incidents. Tac 7 is used as backup dispatch.
from https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/36636
we can only confirm that 462.975r is main and 462.95r is used for
chit/chat - based on what we heard last year / last night / this year
also
boston ems radio channel usage last night
462.975 R - main channel - all units were using this channel - it was
very busy right thru 2 am
462.95 R - two units conversed here on "Tac 3" with some longer non
urgent car to car radio traffic
