911."

hunting is allowed in the park at certain times

fcc uls is working! yee hawr

wskf901 was the last new license that we dug up - that was on 9/27/2025

lets see if we can find that - and work back thru today - hopefully
there is nothing there

if this all sounds like non sensical gibberish - good

are you smarter than a 5 year old firefighter?

can you name 4 fire departments that did not respond on the first
alarm at the Palisades Fire - but should have?

note - we wont consider MRCA FD and ANF airtankers and Santa Monica
Mtn NPS and any private FDs and the Hells Angels and the LA County
Lifeguards and Los Angeles County Fire Brigade (whoever they are) and
any helos that could have carried water but didnt (police - media -
medevac - looking at you)

4 fire departments that should have responded - they are right there
on the map - we just spotted them - they are right there! -

1. santa monica fd

2. ucla fd

3. pepperdine university fd

4. corral canyon vfc

NOTE - there is no ground access to the fire area from the north -
everyone had to drive north from station 23 - this is what really
killed them - no access from north and no rigs on patrol up in the
fire area - it was a long run from station 23 - too long - that killed
them

Plus the fact was huge before 911 even got called - how did that
happen? thats unpossible - was everyone texting about the fire instead
of calling 911? yikes - what dumbies - that really killed them

plus they didnt put every firefighter on duty

there you have it - 3 striked and you are out - no patrols - slow
reporting - no real upstaffing - strike one - strike two - strike
three - YOU'RE OUT!

palisades fire - iaz vs radio comms

NOTE - we are still pulling together info - we will put up a post
later that covers everything and is full of brilliance

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

page 242 of 351 - figure 4.3.137 - initial ACTION zone map (IAZ)

( note - 'initial ACTION zone' vs 'initial attack' - similar terms but
different )

pretty sure that the solid line that goes zig zags thru the zone is
the city / county border - city fd cover the area to the right -
county fd covers area to left

looks like initially that the fire was not in the Initial Action Zone
- so the initial responsibility would be all on the City FD

and the city fd would use city fd radio channels at 800 mhz initially
(plus maybe 1 aviation band am channel for helo to helo comms) - plus
the city would have 154.83 available for air to ground police and fire
comms

plus la city fd helos all have 800 mhz radios - so they can do 100% of
their comms on 800 mhz if they want to - the city fd has at least 18
repeaterized 800 mhz channels - plus an nearly infinite number of
simplex channels at 700 and 800 mhz - plus probably the city trs on
800 mhz - plus maybe LA RICS on 800 mhz TRS

still not sure if there is a comm plan dedicated to that Initial
Attack Zone - maybe santa susanna comm plan - or is that for the
Pacoima area?

note - there must be a copy of the IAZ plan somewhere - we might
already have it - we will need to dig around

before we post this - lets look at the zerg90 map - yup - looks good
