plane did get a collision avoidance alert "traffic traffic" -
probably is very common in a crowded area like that
ntsb feels pretty sure that plane was at 325 feet at time of collision
tower display showed 200 feet for helo

usa public safety radio plan
since cheap chinese two way portable radios (CCR) only cost $30 - and
are easily obtained and programmed and charged and operated - lets
take advantage of that for public safety
lets require every block captain to have a CCR - lets program it for
154.54 - pl 156.7
lets require every public safety radio to have 154.54 as Channel 2
lets require every public safety radio to have 453.2125 R as Channel 1
- this will be monitored by NORAD / space fart command / whoever and
used for EAS - EWS - whatever - also used for disaster comms
there is requirements 1 and 2
requirement 3 is for a radio channel that can be heard by every public
safety radio in a given neighborhood - everywhere in the neighborhood
- in every ravine and subway and basement and cave - this will be the
primary dispatch and operations channel for the neighborhood - this
channel can be used to receive 911 calls also - via a patch to the 911
infrastructure and/or via 911 dispatchers
requirement 4 is for every public safety radio to have a plethora of
command and tactical and onscene radio channels - with the capability
to talk nationwide if required (via infrastructure or satellites or
whatever)
With these 4 requirements we have devised a nationwide public safety
radio system that can be scaled up to handle any size situation
Requirement 5 could be for 'hands free' channel selection - in fact -
remote channel allocation might be best - let the dispatchers put
various radios on various channels / talkgroups as they deem necessary
Requirement 6 could be to require that all public safety radios have
priority on all cellular / railroad / business / land mobile radio
systems - ALL OF THEM - why have 20 different radios systems with 1
tower each in Podunk County? (maybe this is not a huge issue - maybe
Podunk County allows all 20 systems to place transmitters on their 1
radio tower already)

FDA approves new pain drug Journavx as opioid alternative
knocks out a protein in the pain pathway to the brain
https://www.wcvb.com/article/vertex-journavx-fda-approval-opioid-alternative/63625701
Vertex began researching the drug in the 2000s, when drug overdoses
were rocketing upward, principally driven by mass prescribing of
opioid painkillers for common ailments like arthritis and back pain.
Prescriptions have fallen sharply in the last decade and the current
wave of the opioid epidemic is mainly due to illicit fentanyl, not
pharmaceutical medicines.

initial dispatches to dca crash
from open mhz
DCA FD was dispatched at 849 pm on TG103 which is 'Fire 3A Dispatch' -
BC301 + E301 + Foam 310 + Foam 311 + Medic 301 (ambulance) + Fireboat
2 + Safety 322 - on box 30-101 - aircraft crash Runway 33 - assigned
to channel 3 (lima) - this was on the MWAA TRS
Alexandria FD was dispatched at 9 pm on TG 19 which is '2A Dispatch' -
E203 + E204 + E205 + Batt 201 + E209 + Medic 204 (ambulance) + Medic
203 + E201 + M209 + M207 - on box 30-101 mass casualty incident -
assigned to channel 3 charlie - this was on the Alexandria TRS
Arlington County FD was dispatched at 901 PM on TG 27 which is '1A
Dispatch' - M110 + ME110 (medic engine) + M102 + ME105 + M105 + M101 +
E161 (Fort Myers FD) + Bravo Eng 161 (Fort Myers FD) + EMS 101 + M109
- on box 30-105 act of violence - assigned to 3 Charlie - this was on
the Arlington County TRS
at approx 857 PM - on the Arlington County TRS - on TG 183 which is
Fort Myers FD - E161 Bravo told "Fort Myers" that they were responding
to the Pentagon or from the Pentagon - they wanted someone advised
that they were enroute - maybe they wanted the Pentagon PD to open a
gate and allow them to grab the crash truck at the Pentagon - Batt 46
came on the air and talked to Eng 161 B - he told them to report to a
certain location - 14th Street Bridge was mentioned - DC had told them
to send units there - Batt 46 asked E161B if they had been dispatched
by Arlington - E161B said no - Asst Chr 46 had told them to respond
========================
bottom line - initial dispatch for DCA FD (at 849pm) was 1 eng + 1 amb
+ 2 foam trucks + 1 fireboat - plus whatever DCFD sent
iirc DCFD initially just sent 1 fireboat - because DCPD Marine Unit
got the crash phone alert
question - where did the tape of the crash net comms come from?
11 minutes later - at 9 pm - Alexandria FD sent 5 engines (maybe all
ALS engines) + 4 medic units (ALS ambulances)
12 minutes later - at 901pm - Arlington County FD sent 2 medic engines
+ 2 military engines + 5 medic ambulances + 1 EMS supervisor
it is possible that prince georges county and fairfax county also sent
units to the scene early in the ballgame - need to dig deeper into
that - pretty sure that pg county got called for their fireboat -
unknown if any engines and ambulances were sent
we need to dig up that big dcfd dispatch also - they sent approx 5
engines and 2 ladders and 2 heavy rescues and maybe 3 ambulances and 2
fireboats
seems that dcfd fireboat 3 was first onscene at 2053 hr or 2055 hr -
cant read my own nore - one of the airport fireboats arrived 1 minute
later
pretty sure that everyone died nearly instantly or within 1 minute -
so there was not much that anyone could do anyhow
we have many major airports near bodies of water in the usa - boston -
kennedy nyc - laguardia nyc - lax - philadelphia - maybe jacksonville
- minneapolis is near a river iirc - san francisco - maybe all these
arff units need to have rescue submarines on duty 24/7

Re: initial dispatches for DCA plane crash
radio traffic from dc side of river
heard via openmhz
at 2049 pm - on Marine Interop 1 TG - somebody told DC Fireboat 2 that
they had received a report via the crash phone that a helo was down at
Regan Airport - that dispatcher might have been the DCPD Marine Patrol
dispatcher or maybe it was USCG
at 2051 - fireboat was saying something on the Main TG for DCFD - they
reported that FB2 and FB3 were enroute to Regan Airport
at 2052 - units were told to operate on Airport Channel 3 Lima
2053 - mention of a water rescue assignment - request for PG Co
fireboat and Alexandria FB 301
2055 - on DCFD Dispatch channel - multi units dispatched - sounded
like E7 E13 E18 Tr10 Tr7 Sqd3 Sqd1 HM23Foam 1 TCU Med Amb Bus 1 and 2
etc
2055 - DC Mike 1 underway - maybe dc pd police boat
2055 - DCFD E7 calls FB1 on DCFD Main Channel
you can see that it took 6 minutes for DCFD to get their main response
out the door
it seems that an alert 3 at DCA airport is pretty lame - just the
airport fd and pd units respond - and anyone else they think of asking
for - like random fireboats - maybe 1 fire truck comes from Dulles
Airport also
an Alert 2 at Logan Airport in Boston seems to get more of a response
than an Alert 3 at Regan - an Alert 3 is an actual crash - an alert 2
is a possible crash
Alert 2 at Logan gets all airport fire trucks plus 1 boston eng and 1
boston lad and 1 boston amb and 1 boston ems supervisor plus maybe 1
boston fd boat plus maybe uscg or boston pd boat
Alert 3 at Logan probably also gets 5 engines from boston and 2
ladders and 1 or 2 rescue trucks - maybe even a task force of heavy
rescue trucks
one thing that dampened down the Regan airport response was people
saying "a helicopter crash' - it was not just a helicopter crash by
any stretch of the imagination - but minimalization was running full
bore
heard via openmhz
at 2049 pm - on Marine Interop 1 TG - somebody told DC Fireboat 2 that

FD and Arlington County FD dispatch multi fire engines and ambulances
to the airport
note to self - pretty sure that the initial dispatch for the regan
airport fd was heard on TG3A on the wmaa feed - then enroute and
onscene comms were on 3L and 3M - the Arlington MCI Alarm was also
heard on TG 3A - maybe that was redundant actually - a function of the
CAD to CAD link perhaps - note sure about this - but anyhow - initial
dispatch at 2049 hours with big upgrade at 2100 hours
DCFD also had a full response - will need to check the times
technically speaking - per google maps - all of the potomoc river is
in washington dc - however dcfd has no units stationed on the west
side of the potomoc river - so its a legal distinction but not a real
operational distinction - technically speaking if the aircraft landed
in the river in DC - then DC should be the IC and run the show - but
the airport can get there as quick as DCFD and the airport might
actually have more boats than DC
unnown what assets the USCG has in the area - would be surprised if
they can get more than 2 thirty foot boats to the scene in under 30
minutes
2049 PM - regan airport fd sent to crash on an Alert 3
alexandria fireboat selfdispatched after receiving the call from DC M1
which might be DCPD Marine 1

boat in water
2052 - airport fd bat chief request fairfax and pg co fireboats
2057 PM - DCFD Fireboat 3 at scene (on airport 3M channel)
2058 PM - airport fireboat 378 at scene
(the Regan Airport PD dispatcher was notified of the incident via the
"Crash Net" - she stated this on the radio - we did not hear the crash

from openmhz
sounds like dcfd boat 3 got onscene first
before that 1 unit reported smell of avgas in the area
initial reports were 1 helo then 2 helos then 1 jet - this
minimization happens alot - people just dont want to think about a

very good info here - atc comms + crash phone comms + DCA ground channel comms

helo did see the wrong plane - it wasnt the departing plane however -
it was the number 2 plane lined up to land
also - per comments at yt -
As a non-pilot my guess is the cocky Army Pilots have been doing that
shoot across the landing path for years and it finally bit them in the

@thep751 The problem is this plane was landing so they're actively
changing altitude. However, they're over a freaking airport! Obviously
there's going to be a lot of planes changing altitude around. In fact,
on the video from the Kennedy Center, you can see that there's another
plane in the footage taking off.

Umm no. The helicopter was on the normal flight path for helicopters
passing through DC. But the flight path has a max altitude for
helicopters of 200ft. The radar log shows the helicopter at 300ft and
it was climbing.

about the dc air crash
it just occurred to me - even if the helo pilot fixated on the wrong
jet - he STILL was not supposed to fly thru the glide path / approach
path for the jetliners - you can be DAMN sure of that - you either
cross above or below the glide bath - you dont go thru it - ever
try to imagine what the approach and departure paths look like at
airports - big Vs that stick up out of the ground - you either go
around them or under them or over them - its not that terribly hard to
imagine - but you need to have the brain processor power to do it -
because there are no glideslope signs floating up there in mid air -
you would think that their electronics would display the glidepaths
and ground landmarks and even street names and flight obstructions

Neither pilot saw the other. Helo pilot was told go behinfd the jet
and prob was looking at that other jet taking off on 1, not the one

that is probably the helo channel - the controller was probably

there is a double on this recording - maybe at the time of impact
maybe the helo saw the wrong plane - and the crj was in his blind spot
- off to left - approaching at an angle - with lots of lights on the

this info is wrong / incorrect - somehow we screwed up - or something

as of today - apparently 11,681 homes were destroyed between the 2 fires
let me go back to the fema daily ops reports and grab their final
numbers - and the dates they were posted

difference between 'homes destroyed' and 'buildings destroyed'
bottom line question - did they beat the Camp Fire in Palisade CA in

laramie county fire station burns
https://www.fireengineering.com/news/three-brush-trucks-lost-in-laramie-county-wy-station-fire/
No one was injured, since the building isn't typically staffed,
according to LCFA Chief Jason Caughey. The fire did, however, cause
extensive damage and appeared to burn internally for a while before
external signs triggered the initial 911 call.
what - external signs? - you mean fire was belching out of the bld and
someone called 911 and the fire station does not have sprinklers or an
alarm system
my gawd - lol - 99% of fire stations in usa dont have alarm system or

how wrong is trump - let me count the ways
HOW WRONG WAS TRUMPLER - LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
what trump said
just remove all the vegetation - causes mudslides
turn on the water - the water was already turned on
rake the forests - well maybe he was partially right here - maybe some
vegetation management would helped slow down the fires - but once the
palm trees got blazing in the housing neighborhoods - its all over
==========
what trump should have said
next time we will upstaff the FD totally - I will pay for it out of my
own pocket
next time we will put fire trucks on patrol instead of hanging around
at the fire stations
next time we will put a cop next to every shrub to prevent anyone from
lighting them on fire
next time the electric company will kill their high tension lines or
clean out the vegetation
next time we will hire firefighters who live in the neighborhoods
next time we will get helicopter pilots who can drop water in the
right place - (assuming that lafd dropped all of their water in the
wrong places - or whatever they did with the first loads)
next time we will activate all 8 MAFFS 2 days before the fires instead
of 2 days after the fires - and this goes for most of the state and
federal; air assets - they were maybe very late to the show
next time the dispatchers wont take 15 minutes to come up with a comm plan
next time the alert system will work
next time there will be traffic cops to direct evacuees

next time we will put fire trucks on patrol instead of hanging around
at the fire stations
next time we will put a cop next to every shrub to prevent anyone from
lighting them on fire
next time the electric company will kill their high tension lines or
clean out the vegetation
next time we will hire firefighters who live in the neighborhoods
next time we will get helicopter pilots who can drop water in the
right place - (assuming that lafd dropped all of their water in the
wrong places - or whatever they did with the first loads)
next time we will activate all 8 MAFFS 2 days before the fires instead
of 2 days after the fires - and this goes for most of the state and
federal; air assets - they were maybe very late to the show
next time the dispatchers wont take 15 minutes to come up with a comm plan
next time the alert system will work
next time there will be traffic cops to direct evacuees

Pacific Palisades Fire: Correcting Misinformation About LADWP’s Water System
Pacific Palisades Fire: Correcting Misinformation About LADWP's Water System
this is the city or regional water provider
https://www.ladwpnews.com/pacific-palisades-fire-correcting-misinformation-about-ladwps-water-system/
iirc they filled all 111 reservoirs and tanks before the fire started
electricity was not lost at any of the pumps
iirc the 3 tanks had 1 million gallons each - so the water dept would
pump water up to the 3 tanks - and then it would flow downhill in the
street pipes to the homes and hydrants - it sounds like too much was
coming out of the tanks relative to what could be pumped up into the
tanks - maybe there were only 6 inch mains going up the hills to the
tanks - that might limit the flow to 1000 gpm or 2000 gpm max
try to picture the scenario - first the tank is sitting there full -
nothing is going out and nothing is going in - then the LAFD opens a
few hydrants and the water level starts dropping in the tanks - so the
water dept pumps kick on and start refilling the tanks - and at some
point the LAFD is taking way more out of the tanks than the water dept
can pump back into the tanks - then you have a problem Houston -
especially if there is only 1 pipe filling each tank
one solution could be to grab a hydrant in Santa Monica and get 5
pumpers to relay water up to Palisade Village - but maybe the biggest
hose they have in the area is 3.5 inch hose - and it has high friction
losses so you cant really pump very much water thru it - maybe 500 gpm
other parts of the USA have 4 inch and 5 inch and 6 inch hose to relay
water over long distances - here is over a mile of hose on a Georgia
fire truck in 2014 -
https://statter911.com/2014/10/31/dropping-6000-feet-hose/
another solution could be to pump water out of the ocean - it would be
salt water - so you might destroy some pumpers - maybe not
another solution is to do water shuttles with tanker trucks and drop
tanks - but no one in california seems to use drop tanks - and lafd
only has 2 tanker trucks - tijuana might have 30 of them however - anf
has 5 - la county fd might have 5 also - so of 1000 fire stations in
los angeles county - only about 15 of them have water tanker trucks -
we commented about this many years ago - its weird
if tokyo fd ran lafd - there would be cisterns and volunteer fire
stations every quarter mile throughout the city - but lafd is too
supreme to do that - so yeah - tokyo fd is laughing at lafd right NOW
another solution might have been to open some valves between santa
monica pipes and beverly hills pipes and los angeles city pipes -
unless they are all part of the same system already
another solution could be to pump water from a beverly hills hydrant
into a la city hydrant - that might totally foul your drinking water
supply for a week - but maybe only in the eyes of a health dept nerd

wh press secretary says drought caused by bad valves
https://www.youtube.com/live/PcLBtY1y_qo?si=tVBwzrffHgTvYYGu&t=5188
white house press secretary seems to be hugely confused
did she say that because the water was turned off it caused the
drought that caused the fires - which trump apparently put out by
turning 'the water' back on - ????
and I dont remember Palisades residents speaking at the round table -
seemed to me that just politicians were there at the round table at
station 69 - maybe there was some other roundtable also
it was peak gaslighting / trolling all around
off course Bass didnt help at all by saying that residents could go in
immediately - there was nothing to recover basically
lets return to a previous question - how did dry hydrants affect the
fire fight? when did this happen? where did it happen? what was done
about it? did anyone try to open some valves to get more water
pressure into the area? or to do some relay pumping?

fema daily ops brief - final entry on Palisades Fire
Palisades Fire - final entry - 23,448 acres - 90% contained - 5,561
homes destroyed - 1,275 other buildings destroyed - 11 deaths - 852
homes damaged - 168 other blds damaged
====================
looking at the fire damage map - 20% of homes were destroyed in the
Palisades Highlands area - where the fire was first reported - (we
might have the neighborhood name wrong)
fire was dispatched as 1195 Piedra Morada Drive, Los Angeles, CA,
90272 approx - you can find it on the damage map at -
https://recovery.lacounty.gov/palisades-fire/
fire then went south into Palisades Village and destroyed 100% of the
structures there - except for approx 200 homes near the intersection
of Sunset Blvd and Aimar Ave - the map seems to indicate that the fire
did not burn thru that area - need to figure out why

reality tv couple sue over palisades fire
https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/01/24/reality-tv-couple-sues-the-city-of-los-angeles-after-losing-home-in-fires/
Reality TV couple sues the city of Los Angeles after losing home in
Palisades Fire
====================
lets look at a possible timeline
fire starts at 1030 am
1035 am - 3 helos drop water on the fire - the fire does not go out
5 pm - couples house burns
6 pm - hydrants go dry
in this possible timeline you can see that this lawsuit (as it is
framed now) should fail - the failed hydrants did not cause the loss -
however if you want to sue the helicopter pilots - then maybe the suit
would win
this is the cold hearted 'legal' truth - reality or reality tv might
be very different

1035 am - 3 helos drop water on the fire - the fire does not go out
5 pm - couples house burns
6 pm - hydrants go dry
in this possible timeline you can see that this lawsuit (as it is
framed now) should fail - the failed hydrants did not cause the loss -
however if you want to sue the helicopter pilots - then maybe the suit
would win
this is the cold hearted 'legal' truth - reality or reality tv might
be very different

"We've got more than enough water in my opinion," Caruso, who served
on a city commission overseeing public works, told the Washington
Post. "How the water was deployed was the issue."

Re: trump is a national treasure
154 on tape - trump is told that 3400 of 18000 homes have been rebuilt
in paradise calif - fire was in 2018 while trump was in the white
house
158 on tape - 4 minutes later - trump is bragging that fema was great
under him - and - that paradise is doing great now - trump apparently
cant divide 3400 into 18000 - he has no clue what those numbers from 4
minutes ago were
note - the paradise fire started on national forest land iirc - so
thats under trumps command
note - the Paradise Fire was in 2018 when trump was in the white house
- so maybe fema was great under trump - but apparently they werent
THAT great - even if Paradise was not their primary responsibility;
apparently the fire was not afraid of trump's fema guys
note - if the paradise fire was in 2018 - and trump left office in
2021 - why werent all 18,000 homes rebuilt in 3 years? - trump said he
was a "great builder" - was that a LIE?
note - if Trump went to Paradise CA and saw the devastation first hand
- why didnt he speak up at least once in the last 7 years about it? -
in order to prevent the loss of 20,000 homes in Jan 2025? - maybe if
he had spent less time whining about the imaginary stolen votes -
Trump - can you name a single person who had their vote stolen?
note - 71% of Palisades voted for Harris over Trump - so Trump goes
there to spew BS and gloat over their pain - Trump actually had the
gall to proclaim that he was right 7 years ago about raking the
forests in California and diverting the water - you and 50 million
other people were right about it - but Trump actually had power to do
something about it - and he did nothing
note - bet you $10 that Trump has no clue that there were 2 major
fires in Los Angeles County - he probably thinks that the Eaton Fire
was the Eating Fire - when he heard mention of a black neighborhood,
his brain froze

zerg90 analysis of the socal fires
when ntsb does a crash analysis - they often come up with several
major 'causes' - lets keep that in mind
zerg90 analysis of the socal fires
Palisades Fire
call was dispatched around 1030 am iirc - maybe some teens caused the
fire - the fire grew rapidly in a brushy area near homes
approx 6 helos responded on the first alarm - each maybe had 800
gallons of water onboard - lafd helos came from an earlier brush fire
on North Queen St so they arrived before any ground units
unknow where the la county aircraft came from - maybe 1 helo from
malibu and 1 helo from pacoima and 1 helo from further out - maybe all
3 came from pacoima - we might have one of their response times on the
V1 tape
super scoopers came from van nuys - not sure if there was 2 of them or
4 of them - iirc at least 1 super scooper acknowledged the call via
radio - maybe that was on a lafd radio channel - but they arrived
after the initial helos it seems
the first ground unit from lafd had a 10 minute run over 3 miles all
uphill - up 1000 feet - apparently there were ZERO ground units
prepositioned in that upper neighborhood which is maybe called
Palisades Highlands
la county ground units had runs of 5 to maybe 20 miles - so they were
much slower to respond than lafd ground units
lafd requested 40 extra engines in the first 10 minutes of the fire -
so mobilization speed was not a real issue - but already it was too
late apparently
the game at this point is to kill the fire - by any means possible -
there were many active hydrants around the homes - it was a modern
neighborhood with wide immaculate streets and immaculate homes - no
graffiti - no trash - definitely upper class - see google street views
efficient firefighting would require the IC to know where the flames
were located - which way the wind was blowing - the lay of the land -
the type of fuel and dryness
first arriving aircraft would try to drop water on the head of the
fire or at the most exposed residences - those decisions would be made
by the first arriving pilots or by the heloc (who was in Fire 4 / a
LAFD helo)
the super scoopers would try to drop while avoiding the helos and the
ground units - that would be coordinated by helco and/or by the first
arriving pilots - they do that all the time - it is rehearsed and SOP
coordination between aircraft and ground units can be hard - there is
just 1 a/g freq for lafd (154.83) and 1 a/g freq for la co fd (154.40)
- but if there is no one to talk to one the ground - then the channels
are useless essentially - and this happened at this fire
in fact Fire 4 can be heard calling on V1 looking for ground units -
he finally got thru to some BC who was still enroute to the scene
each fire pumper / engine has 500 gallons of water on board - hydrants
can supply 1k gpm to maybe 5k gpm - a ladder pipe can flow 1k gpm -
have not heard of any ladder pipes being used - the back yards can not
be seen from the street on Piedra Morada (St)
so how do you put out a fire if you cant see exactly where it is
located? how do you know which street to take to reach the fire? can
the helos send you some lats and longs? maybe - does the fire truck
have a GPS to enter the lats and longs from the helo? good question
when the smoke is billowing and the neighbors are screaming - its a
little late to be dealing with lats/longs/tom toms / gps etc
we never heard any helo giving any lats/longs - Fire 4 first mentioned
that the fire had already crossed Palisades Drive iirc - so that was
maybe a1/4 mile run or 1/2 mile run in the first 15 minutes of the
fire - ish
itw as avery dynamic high stress situation - their voices reflected
that - they knew what they were up against
too late to worry about reservoirs and smelt and fuel management and
emergency generators for water pumps at that point
note - possible los angeles water comes in via aqueduct from north to
reservoirs in Pacoima - then is sent to reservoirs and water tanks
throughout the city of Los Angeles
=========================
EATON FIRE
not sure where the fire started exactly - looked like it was under
high tension lines - maybe on the banks of a river / stream - maybe in
a Canyon - the fire started at night - the FD was very busy in the
area with wire down calls etc - not sure what the initial response was
- not sure where the initial units were sent - not sure if hand crews
and bulldozers were the initial attack units - not sure if there was
good coord between LA co FD and Pasadena FD and ANF
note - LA Co FD protects Altadena - Pasadena FD protects Pasadena -
ANF protects Angeles National Forest - NASA JPL FD might have been
nearby also - in other words - the initial dispatch maybe got units
from ANF + Pasadena FD + LA County FD + JPL FD - it was probably a
mutual threat zone and there were probably written mutual aid
agreements and SOPs in effect for all of the FDs - typically they have
full boundary drops in LA County - maybe not in every location - but
in many of them
if the fire was under high tension lines - maybe the FD could not get
close to the fire at all - and maybe it had spread to too large of an
area by the time the first responding units got into position
obviously something very bad happened because this 1 fire that started
as a small area (maybe 100 feet by 100 feet was first spotted)
managed to take out 6,000 homes
maybe when they got around to asking for 100 engines, they were told
that most of the units were at the Palisades Fire - so they would have
to wait for units to arrive from Sacramento or Las vegas - which is
wild - maybe Tijuana FD should have sent some engines
questions - what sparked the fire? was the power off? why was there
fuel under the electric tower? why was there fuel in the area? had any
retardant been applied to the area before the red flag? isnt there a
new retardant that can be applied once per year?

If they had done their jobs, they wouldn't have to sit there listening
to Trump because the fires would have been put out. They can't win
because they already failed on the job.
========================
(thats a huge 10-4)
all the controversy has been to protect the firefighters - because
they are a big political force - because they have lots of money and
free time - if 20K homes burn down - tough crap - suck it up

138 - coastal commission is out of control
156 - half pipe has been built - was built a long time ago - was never
used - ??? - (no idea what he is talking about - maybe some tunnel to
carry water from delta region to los angeles)
202 ish - lawyer lobby is the most powerful lobby
204 - special german shepherds found the bodies in Paradise
210 - we were right -(vegetation needs to be reduced - enviro lawsuits
slow them down - 18 months to get a review - they must have slow
reviewers on staff)
211 - get the cleanup started - IT WILL GO LIKE WILDFIRE - lol lol
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol - (bet ya that Melania or Melania

note to self - need to confirm when water problems started - probably
was around 8pm because they seemed to have plenty of water at

Hadley Mass FD wants to upgrade to ALS
https://www.gazettenet.com/Hadley-fire-chief-outlines-demands-on-ambulance-service-59075967
article has several problems - doesnt differentiate between FF and EMT
and ff/emt and ff/pm - doesnt list the cost of the Action EMS contract
- isnt clear on the Action EMS revenue - is it $700K each year over
the last 3 years for a total of $2.1M over 3 years? - was Action EMS
running a ALS ambulance? - just 1? - what other mutual aid is
available?
bottom line might be - the town will save money but not paying for
Action EMS's profits - will save money by having lower fire insurance
rates - town will earn more money by doing more EMS transports - town
will save more lives maybe by having faster EMS responses
if they have a 15 man paid FD plus a 15 man oncall FD - and the paid
guys also have pagers - and the paid guys all live in town - then they
can probably staff 2.5 ambulances
note - the ambulance that transports the patient tp the hospital is
the ambulance that gets the money for Medicare etc - if a mutual aid
ambulance goes into Hadley and picks up a patient - then the mutual
aid ambulance 'makes the money' on the call
note - each ALS call gets $1500 - its like free money for the town -
the town does not get any money for responding to police calls or fire
calls

in any case - shouldnt the emergency generators be in place before the
