Cambridge MA PD had a "call box alarm"

510 pm today - they sent 1 police car to 134 Allston Street, Call box
52, David Yunez Park - dispatcher said "no one on the line that we
heard"

we did not notice any strange talkgroups show up on the cambridge trs
around that time - so apparently the call boxes do not transmit via
CoMIRS - not sure if they would have showed up on the openmhz feed
even if they were on the TRS

apparently the call boxes should allow 2 way comms - or they should
allow the dispatcher to hear anyone who is speaking

Re: No bfd feed at broadcastify now

followup - no boston fd feeds at broadcastify today (Saturday 5 pm et)
- but broadcastify calls does have ch 1 to ch 4 listed - openmhz does
not have any working bfd feeds either it seems - bfd is listed on the
cambridge comirs feed at openmhz but it does not see to be working

boston mass fd info - probation period

note - everyone is a EMT and FF 1/2

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

The next step is the screening process. Our screening of potential
candidates includes:

a character background check
a medical fitness screening
a drug test, and
a psychological exam.

Based on the results, we add you to a class at the Boston Fire Academy.

If you join the Boston Fire Department, you'll have to go through a
probation period of one year. During this time, you will:

finish your work at the Firefighter Academy
get your Firefighter 1 and 2 certifications, and
get certified as an Emergency Medical Technician.

Once you get through your probation period, you become a member of the
department as a Boston firefighter.

Re: arlington is no longer on the boston 10 alarm card

mutual aid does not do covers in boston until the 6th alarm now - used
to be 5th alarm

if milton or dedham are at boston line boxes they cant send any cover
engines - right? unless milton and dedham dumped all of their line
boxes with boston

metro massport FD 5 and north district is the primary FG channel - not
sure what massport fd5 is - maybe that 460 channel - or some 800
channel - or the 800 trs - or comirs

hanscom afb fd is all over the run card - but no phone number is given for them

masspport ftf3 might come from logan airport

not sure if armstrong or action is the afb ambulance right now

notice that ambulances go right to MCI on 2nd alarm

no coverage is listed

cambridge rescue is on the 3rd alarm - thats interesting

you can ask lousiville about striking a 3rd alarm

apparently there are lots of Epsteins out there

boston fire buff newsletter from 2021

http://box52.org/NLFeb2021.pdf

1978 - arlington had 2 big fires at same time

1932 - west concord fire station burned - no mention of hanscom fd

no hanscom on the arlington fd 10 alarm card

https://metrofire.us/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Arlington-Run-Card-2025-2-approved-01272025-FG_page-0001-1.jpg

arlington and lexington must jhave a new deal - both show 1 engine on
working fire to each other

which is very strange - cant imagine lexington going to a working fire
in east arlington where cambridge and somerville can both beat them
with 5 engines and 10 ladders or whatever

lexington took 10 minutes to travel 1 mile to the working fire on
appleton place in arlington the other night

lincoln mass - 10 alarm metro card from 2013 - and more

https://web.archive.org/web/20150912074040/http://www.massmetrofire.org/images/RUNCARD.LINCOLN.xls

there is a word document run card that downloads

2013 - hanscom engine to cover lincoln on 3rd alarm - and to the fire
on the 4th alarm

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

back story - hanscom afb has had a fully paid FD probably back to the
1940s - they also went to calls on the civilian side of the airport
and into north lincoln - dont think they ever went to ems calls in
north lincoln though - even though that was a 8 minute run or more for
the lincoln fd ambulance

for many years - in the 1970s - lincoln would send 1 firefighter with
the ambulance - and 1 cop to drive

massport put a dry chemical truck at hanscom sometime in the 1980s -
not sure who staffed it - maybe 1 massport mtnce man or maybe 1
massport firefighter from logan airport

many new blds went up in northern Lincoln thru the years - and the
military stopped flying planes out of Hanscom - but the Air Force
keeps the base open to run reasearch programs for electronics and/or
coordinate with MIT Lincoln Labs

MIT has never had a FD at Lincoln Labs afaik

Hanscom used to have a clinic ambulance - but that probably went away
in the 1980s - local private ambulances have been hired to cover
Hanscom AFB since then

first save at wayback machine

Hanscom Mass - info

we noticed that the (approx 2021) dispatch manual for D5 D6 D14 D15
listed Hanscom AFB approx 4 times - once under D6 and once under D14
and once with foam trailer and foam truck

neither massfiretrucks nor firenews.org shows any crash trucks nor
foam trailers at Hanscom AFB FD at this time - we believe they have
been all removed within the last 2 to 5 years - maybe shortly afetr
MassPort moved 2 of their crash trucks to Hanscom

Hanscom AFB FD operates two 4 man engines and a 2 man rescue and 1
chief officer 24/7 per firenews,org

no Hanscoms FDs were called on the D14 rollcall today nor yesterday

presumbably the Hanscom AFB FD operates on the Hanscom AFB TRS at 380 mhz

presumbably the Massport Hanscom FD operates on the new Massport 800
mhz TRS at Hanscom

Hanscom AFB FD has regularly shown up at multi alarm fires in nearby
towns over the past 50 years - they used to cover several line boxes
in the north end of Lincoln also - plus probably Concord and Lexington
line boxes also - plus maybe Bedford line boxes - they have also sent
their heavy Rescue truck to major Route 2 crashes iirc

essex county mass - switch to FG on w/f

In general, shifting to a Fireground Operations Channel is
recommended whenever "All Companies Are Working" (Working Fire or
better). This practice ensures against confusion on the fireground
from other dispatch activities simultaneously occurring

logan rockport nahant aquinah provincetown have 1 neighbor each

AI tells us that Hull borders on Hingham and Cohasset - and the state
map below confirms that

chathm borders on 2 towns - but just barely - harwich and a bit of orleans

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

this is crazy

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-municipalities

map of city and town borders in massachusetts

it has been updated approx 100 times between 2004 and 2024

OMG!

not sure if it really affects anything - maybe just 1 or 2 parcels and
islands changed hands - maybe some parcels boundaries changed by 5
feet - not really sure - does not seem like any major changes -
unknown if any boston harbor islands are involved - we have not looked
at the map yet

map shows the bewster islands as being in hull in plymouth county -
those islands are north of the hull peninsula

deer island is in boston - but snake island and logan fire sta 2 are
in winthrop - ta da!

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

why does ipswich look like 3 towns?

plum island covers 4 towns - newburyport + newbury + rowley + ipswich
- hope they have some sort of mutual aid agreement to cover that

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

ok enuff of this crap

Re: gloucester mass had a fire at 5 pm today

we just listened to the beginning of the fire - it must have been
right next door to HQ - C6 reported fire showing before Eng 1 even
arrived

first alarm was E1 E2 L1 R1 Car3 - for the reported "structure fire" -
with Eng 3 moving up to cover HQ

Engine 1 went onscene and immediately declared a 'working fire'

Engine 3 then rerouted themselves to the fire - and Eng 4 started to
move up to HQ - and Rockport Eng 3 and Beauport 93 mah=gically
appeared

not sure why "County Red" was mentioned as FG channel - they did not
go to a 2nd alarm - unless they secretly call a 2nd alarm for a
working fire - damn - now we have to check the county freq and see
what they said

Car 1 i apparently the Big Kabola - whatever that is - assuming its a
good thing - DA CHIEF

essex county mass - radio SOP

https://essexcountyfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/SOG-802.01-Interoperability_V1.pdf

bottom line - first alarms and line boxes stay on local channels

2nd alarms and higher switch to the county FG channels

note - emergency buttons might not work at all on the county FG channels

YIKES YIKES YIKES

also - undefined - what channel are units supposed to be on when they
are halfway thru a long moveup?

Re: gloucester mass had a fire at 5 pm today

the essex county fire sop from 2025 / 2021 calls this freq FG 1 U

but sne calls it FG red

rrdb calls it - Essex County Mutual Aid Fireground Red CH 14 UHF

so which is it?

during the Gloster fire - both Beauport Medic 93 and Rockport Eng 3
were talking with the Gloucester FD dispatcher - they seemed to be on
Gloster FD Ch 1 (470.40 R) - we were listening via Broadcastify so it
was hard to determine exactly what channel they were on - but it
sounded like a digital channel - and it sounded the same as all the
other comms that we heard from the Gloster FD dispatcher when talking
to his Gloster units

other radio traffic heard - "C6 to Headquarters' - fire is knocked
down but continue the working fire assignment - "Engine 3 reponding" -
"Car 3 at scene, C5 in command" - Engine 2 - "Deputy" - Engine 4 to
cover - C8 was female on Engine 3 - maybe a captain - Car 1 - maybe
the Chief - Rescue 1

we have not listened to the very beginning of the fire yet - we should
probably do that - first alarm might have been E1 E2 L1 R1 - and then
1 engine to cover - and then working fire got 1 more engine and
beauport and rockport - something like that

yes - lets make a mtn out of a molehill - lol

Essex County Mass has 4 crossband repeaters

https://essexcountyfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/SOG-801.00-Cross-Band-Repeaters_V1.pdf

one of the freqs is aways 153.83

the other freq is a UHF FG channel - apparently either 487.3875 or
460.6125 or 465.6125

Rehab 5 and Georgetown FD have 2 of the crossband repeaters - not sure
who has the other 2

they are dispatched on all 2nd alarms

we have never heard them mentioned or used

2024 SOP

if everyone in Essex County has dual band radios now - then these
crossband repeaters are not needed

FCC designation for these reoeaters is either MO3 or FB2T afaik - not
sure what the difference between those 2 are - maybe FB2T can have a
higher antenna

if there is a huge fire in boston and a huge fire in springfield mass
- who gets to decide if all the mutual aid should go to boston or
springfield? is the state fire marshal the final abritrator of
resource allocation? or is it first come first served?

what if a huge fire breaks out in boston and worcester units are sent
to boston - and then 15 minutes later a huge fire breaks out in
springfield - at that point - the worcester units should obviously be
rerouted to springfield - and cape cod units should be sent to boston
- but who makes that call? the state fire marshal?

Massachusetts now requires mandatory licensing for standalone urgent
care centers, a new regulation effective October 1, 2025, which
includes stricter reporting and oversight from the Department of
Public Health (DPH). The law also expands the authority of the
Attorney General and Health Policy Commission to review healthcare
market activities, such as mergers and acquisitions, and includes new
disclosure requirements regarding ownership and private equity
involvement. Hospitals, hospital affiliates, community health centers,
and limited service clinics are exempt from this new licensing
requirement.

The Hukou system in China

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou

basically a system of governmental control based on the location where
a person was born

if that system was used in the USA - it might go like this - if you
were born in Florida but retired in Massachusetts - you could only
collect retirement benefits based on the income of an average worker
in Florida

thtas a highly hypothetical siutation - but you can see how certain
benefits can be tied to the place where you were born

its only 20 air miles from plymouth to provincetown

its only 50 air miles to boston from provincetown

therefore - they can fly plymouth to ptown in 7 minutes - then can fly
ptown to boston in 13 minutes - for a total flight time of 20 minutes

damn - they can have someone in boston before we can ever get a medic

omg - did ang fd wait 7 minutes before responding ? why? dont they
respond with the airport fd day in and day out? or do they just work
on holidays? or something weird like that

there are 3 fire stations at the airport - airport PSP crash station +
ang FD + Louisville FD Engine 1

the PSO FD might not have any structural units - they might hjave 3
arff units and 1 heavy rescue

ang fd apparently has 1 heavy recue + 1 arff + 1 tanker + 1 mobile command post

lousiville sta 1 just has engine 1 - a structural pumper

would be interesting to see who responds to medical; calls in the area
- would be interesting to see who responds to fires at the terminals
and airport blds

any chance that UPS has their own FD hidden away somewhere? that would be crazy

Re: some airport radio traffic from the louisville crash

best case scenario - city fd + subruban fds + airport pso + ang fd
were all alerted at the same time

we have heard the city radio traffic and the county radio traffic -
city initially sent 1 engine and 1 ladder - county initially sent 3
engines and 2 ladders approx - airport psd sent at least 1 crash truck
(crash 49 iirc per ground control freq tape) - and ang fd apparently
sent 4 rigs and 8 people

one major issue here is that all 4 agencies apparently operate on
different radio channels - and not all units have AM aviation radios
of course - maybe just the airport authority fire trucks and the ang
fire trucks have AM aviation radios

so maybe 2 or 3 major issues here - 4 different dispatch systems -
multi different agencies on the first alarm - multi different radio
channels - (Fire 1 TG + Fire 5 TG + airport pso freqs or TGs + ang
freqs - plus - ground control channel plus tower channel plus maybe
departure channel) - plus airport ops chanels and UPS channels and PD
channels and ambulance channels - all in use on the initial dispatch -

134.05 is not the normal Tower freq. 134.05 is the 'Discrete Emergency
Freq'. 134.05 might normally be the Logan ramp controller frequency.
So this radio procedure is a compromise between following 'normal
procedures' - and - using a dedicated single channel for emergencies
at Logan. The procedure is not overly burdensome on anyone. Right?

traffic lights at fire stations

if they put a traffic light at a fire station or ambulance station -
maybe it should be totally off - then flashing green and yellow - then
flashing yellow and red - and then solid red - 11/10/2025

maybe they typically in the USA are - flashing green - then flashing
yellow - then red - which isnt a bad scheme

maybe the best scheme would be - flashing green usually - then on
activation for an emergency departure - go to flashing green and
yellow - then flashing yellow - then red

or maybe - (off) - then - flashing green - to - flashing green and
yellow - then - flashing yellow and red - then solid red

seems that going from 'off to green to yellow to red' might not catch
anyones attention - especially at night

is there are any rule about this?

FY2025 budget for woburn mass

https://woburnma.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/FY2026-Submitted-Budget.xlsx.pdf

all cops and firefighters are listed

PD pays 15K to NEMLEC and $5K to Tactical Force ???

FD has 3 captains who are mechanics - really?

FD will earn $9.7M in ambulance fees (maybe that is 50% shared with
Armstrong - maybe not)

FD spends $130K on apparatus mtnce and $150K on ambulance mtnce - really?

MetroFire fee is $5K

DPW has 2 mechanics also

Cemetery Dept has 5 FT staff plus 3 summer helpers who get $4K each -
dept also spends $100K on landscaper services

PD budget has no dispatchers and no mechanics - but there are approx 5
clerks - are they really dispatchers? or does PD use Captains as
dispatchers (150K each)?

FD budget has no dispatchers - they must use firefighters to work as dispatchers

woburn mass als rfp from 2023

https://woburnma.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/RFP-24-04-ALS.pdf

nov 2023 to nov 2026

each unit must have mobile and portable radio and avl

response time info looks bad - terminology looks bad - dont think they
want an average of 8 minutes 90% of time - what they really want is -
for 90% of all calls the response time should be under 8 minutes

think of it as 2 bell curves

one would have its peak at approx 7.5 minutes

the other would have its peak near 4.5 minutes

those are 2 very different bell curves

one of those response time statements is pure gibberish with a
whopp[ing honking typo right in the middle

newton mass fire box 232 in 2022

https://maps.app.goo.gl/HByRM9E74pQRRZcS6

craft street by DPW

to activate - pull the top of the little clear window toward you - it
arcs down / there is a hinge at the bottom of that white piece - then
pull the little white hook inside straight down - ( you can barely see
the little white hook in this photo )

you should hear the box start clicking - and then a couple of minutes
later you should start hearing some sirens - a cop car might pull up
first - if they still respond to street boxes in Newton

some airport radio traffic from the louisville crash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hE8YDZ9dks

rescue 46 and chief 3 are apparently fire units - (going to battle)

would be interesting to see exactly what time those messages occurred

air 30 is the louisville pd helo from bowman field (per comment) -
about 5 miles to NE iirc

august 2025 article on airtanker drops

https://www.iawfonline.org/article/united-states-evaluating-the-effectiveness-of-large-airtanker-drops/

airtankers are 12% effective - or something - (how did they get that number?)

maybe their analytical framework fell completely apart

the bottom line question is - is it worth it to use airtankers?

if they only work on shrub fires - then why use them on forest fires?

the airtankers might be a 100% total waste - we have talked about this
before - if you can only do 1 drop per hour - and the fire completely
rebuilds its fire front every 30 minutes - then the tanker drops will
never accomplish anything useful - its called REALITY

Berkshire County map has been updated

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1VIqsRirGVhOn0rI0TNjrXIkAqAU&usp=sharing

added a bunch of stuff

Berkshire School really needs to get a minipumper and/or ambulance -
they have plenty of staff etc - they are approx 3.5 miles from any
fire station and they have 450 high school students - damn they could
be first due in half of the county on a Monday morning - buffys mom
and dad would never allow that - they could let all the hispanic
custodians staff the fire truck - lol - that would be cool

info about san bernardino county fire alerting system

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/sbco-fire-avd-system-tones.493312/

the system automatically switchs back and forth between 'IP' alerting
and 'over the air' alerting as needed

we think of it this way - there are 2 ways to get a message from the
dispatch office to the various fire stations - the first method is the
IP system - the IP system can use fiber optic links or maybe microwave
links to move dispatch messges from the dispatch office to the fire
stations - the 2nd method is the 'over the air paging' method - this
second method uses tones or data blurps that can be heard going over
various channels (perhaps at 150 mhz or 450 mhz or 800 mhz) - folowed
by a voice message

southern california

not sure what westnet is exactly - maybe the county dispatch center is
split into 2 parts - east and west - maybe thats it - maybe they
actually have 2 dispach centers operating as 1 combined dispatch
system
