Boston FD was busy on 453.65 (station paging channel) today around 5 PM around 1730 there was a box struck on Ch 1 for Williams St in Jamaica Plain - shortly thereafter, seperate alerts went out for E24 + E53 + L16 to structure fire - each alert gave the address, 2 cross streets, and the time - each alert was given just once
at 1751 - IIRC - an alert went out on 453.65 for a jumper / tech rescue on the Tobin Bridge - I heard Special Unit and Rehab Unit mentioned I am pretty sure - I missed everything else at 1818 Car 12 ordered a 2nd alarm - one big long alert went out seconds later - I think maybe at the same time as the beeps on Ch 1 or just seconds after - the alert went something like this - 2nd alarm for (maybe address and box number) Eng 28, Eng 52, E49, Ldr ??, Car 7, Car 8, C6 (maybe C7), Special Unit, Air Supply, C22 - the alert probably ended with cross streets and time - it was kinda hard to write all down In any case - it seems that sometimes a bld fire will get multiple alerts on 453.65, other times it gets one alert - I dont know if this is a matter of first alarm vs 2nd alarm - or maybe the box at 1730 required three units from the 2nd alarm line on the run card Note - definitely just one Ladder was given on the 2nd alarm on 453.65 at 1818 - I think that L29 was sent much later via Ch 1 - at 1832 actually - after they bugged the dispatcher about going on a cover assignment - and told to go to Engine 30 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
