The Logan Airport Disaster Drill The drill started as a normal Alert 2. When the plane "crashed" into the Boston Harbor with 335 souls on board, "Logan Command" (the Logan Airport OIC), requested that Logan Fire Alarm do the following - upgrade to an Alert 3, request that Boston FD transmit Box 763 (Boston Outer Harbor), initiate a full Logan FD recall, do a statewide notification, and notify 102 and 107. (102 and 107 are presumbably Logan FD Chiefs or airports bosses).
Then I heard the Boston PD Tango Harbor 1 (harbor patrol boat) being dispatched to Anchorage 1 via 460.45R. At the same time, Boston EMS dispatched multiple units via 462.975R to the airport for an "Alert 3". 453.10 R was used by Boston EMS to poll local private ambulance companies for their available resources. AMR had 2 units available - Pro had 2 ALS units available - etc Boston EMS units moved to BEMS Channel 12 (460.55R) for ops on the airport. Boston FD used Channel 3 (483.2125R) at the airport. Boston EMS had Harbor Unit 2 and Harbor Unit 3 responding to the incident. (These were apparently Boston EMS EMTs on Boston Police boats - they were heard on 460.45R and 460.55R). A "Phase" was never declared by the Boston EMS OIC, so I dont think that any hospitals were ever notified of the drill. There was also mention of a CMED malfunction which might have played a role in the lack of a Phase. (Phase 5 apparently means that all hospitals in the city and area have to activate their disaster plans - Phase 1 might just be a heads up to hospitals via 155.28). I never heard any comms on BAPERN 3 nor BAPERN Central about traffic control. Peter Sz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
