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 -
YIKES
