changes to new engand freight trains
https://youtu.be/Ybl8mtaLEvA?si=Izs-W1dTzDRQYI4K&t=132
212 on this video - cued up
we think the jist of this video is that stacked freight trains will
now run thru the hoosic tunnel instead of running thru chester mass
and westfield mass etc - or in addition to
mot of this particular video shows trains in operation
but there might be a detailed explanation of the changes somewhere on the video
bottom line - the northern route will maybe be getting busier - thru
greenfield and orange and athol and fitchburg etc - (kinda guessing
what that map at 212 shows) - maybe there will be less traffic going
north from worcester to ayer
apparently the major switching yard or intermodal yard is at ayer
the chester cam shows maybe 1 train per hour - so they seem to have
plenty of tracj capacity on both routes - not sure if this will make a
major difference in new england or not
more changes are likely to occur
this is a joing venture between several railways
at end of video - 151.25 - train going too slow - ( maybe a joke )

bia - maybe 200 engines (TY3 and 6) and 5 helos and 10 hand crews -
Bureau of Indian Affairs under DOI - possibly most of these units are
operated by the local tribes but funded by DC
these are all very rough numbers meant to show the relative size of the agencies
TY 3 engine = 125 gpm and 500 gallon tank
TY 6 engine = 100 gpm pump and 250 gallon tank of water
TY 4 engine = 50 gpm pump and 750 gallon water tank

blm cover rangelands
usfws covers swamps
bia and nps cover a mixture of forests and rangelands
most of the large airtankers are controlled out of boise by NIFC -
they are shared among all federal wildfire agencies - some smaller
airtankers are operated by BLM in Nevada and elsewhere
state forestry agencies also operate a multitude of helos and some
smaller air tankers - they are NOT a part of this new federal fire

Medford Mass ambulances - far more screwed up than we realized
https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2026/01/medford-signs-contract-with-cataldo-ambulance-service-ends-25-year-deal-with-armstrong-ambulance
Medford signs contract with Cataldo Ambulance Service, ending 25-year
deal with Armstrong Ambulance
Residents, Armstrong's union and city council voiced concern over how
the change was communicated.
Lungo-Koehn noted that mutual aid — which require emergency services
to assist neighboring communities — often resulted in Armstrong
ambulances being dispatched outside Medford, stretching local
resources thin.
=========================
lets explain how ems works in arlington and medford
medford - 6 fire stations plus 1 Armstrong ambulance station
arlington - 3 fire stations plus 1 Armstrong ambulance station
The first ambulance call in Medford is handled by one Medford fire
truck and 1 Armstrong ambulance
The second ambulance call in Medford is handled by a second Medford
fire truck and the 2nd Armstrong ambulance.
3rd ambulance call at roughly the same time is handled by 1 medford
fire truck and a armstrong ambulance from medford or arlington or
stoneham
for arlington
first ambulance call is handled by 1 arlington fire truck and 1
arlington fire ambulance and sometimes 1 Armstrong ambulance from
Arlington.
the 2nd ambulance call in arlington is handled by 1 arlington fire
truck and maybe 1 ambulance from armstrong or pro or belmont or
winchester or lexington
the 3rd ambulance call in arlington is handled by 1 arlington fire
truck and an ambulance from gawd knows where
(note we are skipping over the difference between ALS and BLS here -
but the basic explanation is sound / firm / based / acid / whatevere)
The major problem recently is that armstrong never seems to have a 2nd
ambulance available in arlington on the weekends - so the 2nd
ambulance usually ends up being an Armstrong ambulance from medford
so that 2nd arlington patient gets screwed waiting for a very late
ambulance to show up - and apparently people have been getting screwed
in Medford also due to slow ambulances (that are over in arlington
chasing calls)
keep in mind - whoever transports the patient to the hospital gets
approx $500 from Medicare / Medicaid / health insurance companys
Perhaps the root of the current problem is the basic understanding of
mutual aid - it has to be mutual - if arlington spends 100 hours in
Medford every month covering fire calls - then it should be reasonable
to expect Medford to spend 100 hours in Arlington covering ambulance
calls - but it needs to be balanced - (maybe its a little unequal in
this example since an ambulance has a crew of 2 people - and a fire
truck has a crew of 3 people - so the manhours are different)
capiche?

other aircraft should stay 15 miles from any fires - most fires are
reported / spotted quickly and there really is no need for general
aviation aircraft to scout the fire - (not my words - their words)
seems they could specify a typical altitude for emergency aircraft
versus a typical altitude for general aviationa aircraft - maybe not -
maybe its too complicated in mountainous areas
all aircraft share common radio channels - but they were 15 minutes
late setting up the radio channels on the Palisades Fire - right?

versus a typical altitude for general aviationa aircraft - maybe not -
maybe its too complicated in mountainous areas
all aircraft share common radio channels - but they were 15 minutes
late setting up the radio channels on the Palisades Fire - right?

lafd commanders lacked basic wildland firefighting knowledge - really?
Goog AI you so funny
3. Operational and Leadership Challenges
Communication Breakdowns: Crews faced unreliable cellular
connectivity, "excessive radio traffic," and confusion over which
radio channels to use, hampering coordination between different
agencies.
Command Experience: An after-action report noted that several
high-ranking commanders lacked basic wildland firefighting knowledge
and "fundamental knowledge of suppression techniques" required for
incidents of such complexity.
Gridlock and Evacuations: Critical escape routes in the Palisades were
gridlocked 40 minutes before official evacuation orders were issued,
with abandoned cars further blocking first responders.

no mention of initial attack by helos however - where did they drop
their water?
=========================
Recent deployment analysis of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD)
reveals critical gaps in staffing, deteriorating response times, and
ongoing scrutiny over pre-deployment strategies during major wildfire
events in 2025.
Staffing and Infrastructure Gaps
Understaffing: LAFD is currently operating at approximately half the
staffing levels recommended by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) for a city of its size. It staffs roughly 0.91
firefighters per 1,000 residents, significantly below the national
average of 1.54 to 1.81 for densely populated areas.
Station Decline: Despite rapid population growth, the department
currently operates fewer fire stations than it did in the 1960s.
Fleet Readiness: As of early 2025, only 78% of the department's fleet
was operational, falling short of the 90% target. This is attributed
partly to budget cuts that eliminated 50% of the department's mechanic
positions.
Response Time Trends
Analysis of response data from 2018 to 2022 shows a significant
decline in performance metrics:
Increase in Response Times: The 90th percentile response time for all
incidents increased from 6:51 in 2018 to 7:53 in 2022.
Medical Travel Times: For emergency medical incidents, the percentage
of calls failing to meet the 4-minute travel time standard rose from
49% in 2018 to 61% in 2022.
Operational Efficiency: While call processing and crew turnout remain
strong (averaging 1:08 and 0:47 respectively), actual travel times are
hindered by Los Angeles' traffic congestion and complex topography.
Wildfire Pre-Deployment Controversy
The LAFD faced intense scrutiny regarding its deployment decisions
during the January 2025 wildfires, specifically the Palisades Fire:
Pre-Deployment Failures: Reports indicate the department failed to
pre-deploy roughly 1,000 available firefighters and dozens of
water-carrying engines despite dire wind forecasts.
Strategic Delays: Only 5 of more than 40 available wildfire engines
were readied before the fire started.
Report Revisions: An after-action report author rejected a final draft
in early 2026, alleging that significant findings—such as violations
of national safety guidelines and delays in crew assignments—were
deleted or softened by department leadership.
Strategic Improvements (2023–2026)
The department is currently implementing its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan,
which focuses on:
New Wildfire Teams: Deployment of "Crew 4," the department's first
paid hand crew specifically trained for cutting fire lines in extreme
heat.
Advanced Medical Units: Expanding Advanced Provider Response Units
(APRU) and Fast Response Vehicles (FRV) to treat patients on-scene,
which aims to offload volume from heavy suppression apparatus and
improve overall availability.
Predictive Analytics: Increasing investment in FireStat to transition
toward AI-driven insights and predictive modeling for more proactive
resource allocation.
What improvements to wildfire pre-deployment are being made?
What staffing levels do LAFD's APRUs and FRVs use?
What obstacles did LAFD face in preparing for the 2025 wildfires?

updated map for Oxford County Maine
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1C2BzxHmPp7me-EwdWQopRfzHM90uWEP2&usp=sharing
overview - several local PDs + sheriff + state police + probably game
wardens - several paid ambulance services with ambulances staffed 24/7
- most of the FDs do NOT have staffed stations - maybe just mexico and
rumford have staffed fire stations - everyone else is paid on call
firefighters
radio comms are simple - 155.07 R - police - 154.07 R - fire /
ambulance - countywide - and its a big mountainous county
we finally got around to updating the ambulance layer
you can see many towns that dont have ems first responder squads
however it is possible that the ambulance services have their own
first responders such as volunteers or off duty paid staff
it is 85 air miles from maine life flight in lewiston to that FD way
up north - so approx 30 minutes flight time - which is not too bad
actually - they could possibly get a serious trauma patient or medical
patient to an OR in under 1 hour

Lots of 25 year old fire trucks in the USA but ten years might be better
