london video - multi responses
https://youtu.be/Z0HyH33Ymeg?si=vx73d-TD-7xGX6vU
firemen keep their boots in the truck - they put them on before
getting in the truck
turnout times around 1 minute perhaps - we didnt time it but there are
several turnouts here that can be timed (from when the doors open)
pretty sure that the engines and rescues have 4 people each - the
ladders and command posts have 2 people - iirc they run 150 engines
and 12 ladders and 8 rescues and maybe 4 command posts - approx 100
stations total - average time for first unit is 5 minutes to arrive
and 6 minutes for 2nd unit - but thats the average iirc - not the 90%
value
yes - 6 minute average for first engine - per
https://share.google/aimode/r2kPRZK5ufSw9z06g
fdny averages 5 minutes for structure fires -
https://share.google/aimode/XCw5jT4G7HyeMP2En - but london probably
lays out hose quicker so its functionally equivalent between the 2
cities
hazelhurst ms is interesting
zero stations ?
per eDispatches - there are 2 different FDs at Hazelhurst - and both
of them are receiving calls as of today - 'HzlCity' which is Hazleton
City FD - and 'Hazelhurst' which is Hazelhurst VFD
there are 2 fire stations there in Hazelhurst - with vague signs
we need to check the county gis and see who owns those stations
per info online - the city fd does have 11 paid guys and some vols -
the VFD just has 25 vols ish
lets check fire fandom -
https://fire.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Copiah_County - does show 2
different FDs - the vfd is the north station
this 2009 cwpp also hsows 2 FDs at Hazelhurst but sorta comingles them
EOC dispatches both of the FDs
gonna guess that the north sta is the vfd - but they could be running
both FDs from both stations - with the paid guys just going to calls
in the city - and the vfd going to calls just outside the city (like a
Rural FD in Missouri)
lets hope they have automatic aid agreements with each other
looks like the fcc uls just did a nosedive
lol
yo mamma
sebring fireman inc - new radio license
we just report what we find
we dont make this up
Macon County GA - new radio license
issued today
FCC you working today on a sunday - arent you supposed to be in church?
ogden ut security company radio license
control point is in tempe arizona
??????
Hughes County SD radio license
this configuration probably goes back to the 1970s
note - 2 output freqs - 2 repeaters on each output freq
but only 1 input freq
seems that we have seen this setup across ND and SD from the 1970s -
multi repeaters with 1 input - or maybe even 1 repeater output but
many different inputs - in fact - that probably goes back to 'pre PL'
days - if you have more than 1 repeater - but want both of them on the
same output channel - you can use 2 different input channels
iirc - SC was mostly on low band - maybe 39.10 and 38.18 - maybe 39.82
also - but ND had a vhf highband repeater pair per county - shared by
police fire dpw everyone - thats 1970s info

all you need to know is that they dont have any real mutual aid with
washington dc fd - unless I am wrong - unless things have changed
dramatically in the last 50 years - dont think they have - will need
to dig into this report and see what they have to say about that
they list around page 30 all the recent changes to ems units
note - fire station 3 is owned by the rockville volunteers - there
probably are several other stations that are not owned by the county -
which makes for an interesting dynamic
note - all career staff taken out of station 9 in 2025 - ish - one of
the career stations was dumped - think it was 9 - prince georges
county done the same thing in recent years - not sure how it plays out
- replacing a career crew with a volunteer crew sounds like a risky
move - but if they have enough vols who are willing to serve - its a
great way to save money

15 hp level - 60 hp steeo grade
a car might require 15 hp to travel on level ground
but on a 8% grade the car will require 60 hp
so 15 horse can pull you on level ground but 60 horses are needed to
pull you up a steep grade
and - yes - 1 HP means exactly what it sounds like - sorta -
https://share.google/aimode/ukVMwPfp3AlqIvzR9
humans can produce 2.5 hp on a good day - horses can crank up to 15 hp
- but 1 HP is their typical output averaged over an entire day
a human can usually do 1 HP - so lets see if we can remember that - 1
HP actually equals 1 humanPower
why do motor vehicles and trains slow down when going uphill? Q and A
we have seen big trucks slow from 70 mph to 50 mph on hills on

and grade?

TASK FORCE ALPHA !!!
the manila volunteers are drooling now lol
btw - we dont really know what Task Force Alpha would be - but it
sounds good - if you put the 2 tt tankers and a pumper and the snorkel
together - they could respond anywhere in missisiippi in 2 hours and
put the hurt on a interface fire - just saying
in fact - if you put a couple of firefighters trained as electrical
linemen in the bucket truck - they could probably cut the Task Force
Alpha response time by 2 hours - because you know there will be power
lines down all over the place when the big interface fire hits
