http%3A%2F%2F1.usa.gov%2F1ubZYrj - 37 page report from DC - includes transcripts of 911 calls and timeline - no transcript of radio traffic - MetroRail Unit 22 was apparently a subway dispatcher - note that the FD was in the tunnels while they could still hear trains moving
Boston has changed their procedures recently - now the FD calls for either "immediate" shutdown of power, - or - "delayed" or "tiered" or "staged" (something like that) shut down of power in the subway - in the past, they only said "shut down the power" and it was kinda assumed that the subway people would kill their power immediately I guess a good procedure would be for the dispatcher to immediately talk to the train dispatcher and ask if all trains were in safe locations - if not, there would have to be very close coordination between the fire dispatcher and the subway dispatcher - with some really precise and accurate wording about the situation http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_142152060357810&key=7727ddee0cf08abd8368629a3842d590&libId=6a1ad8fc-b0c4-4547-a1ec-f91a6dc75a17&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.radioreference.com%2Fcommunity-announcements-news%2F305707-washington-dc-firefighter-radios-did-not-work-tunnel-during-metro-smoke-incident-4.html&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2F1.usa.gov%2F1ubZYrj&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.radioreference.com%2Fcommunity-announcements-news%2F305707-washington-dc-firefighter-radios-did-not-work-tunnel-during-metro-smoke-incident.html&title=Washington%20DC%3A%20Firefighter%20radios%20did%20not%20work%20in%20tunnel%20during%20Metro%20smoke%20incident%20-%20Page%204%20-%20The%20RadioReference.com%20Forums&txt=http%3A%2F%2F1.usa.gov%2F1ubZYrj no one actually cares - so la la la - everything is just dandy On Sat, Jan 17, 2015 at 11:35 AM, Peter S <[email protected]> wrote: > look at the first public comments about this article - wow! > > On Sat, Jan 17, 2015 at 11:28 AM, Peter S <[email protected]> wrote: >> http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/2015/01/17/3b245fe0-9e54-11e4-96cc-e858eba91ced_story.html >> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
