https://youtu.be/ZN--snbkEEM video show fire development before FD arrives 20 years ago there was a volunteer fire station on Plum Island - but they are long gone >From the radio tape - 1935 PM - Newburyport E1 E2 L2 sent - (fully staffed career FD) 1935 PM - Newburyport FD sends out pager tones for structure fire - I assume that was to alert the chiefs and off duty guys 1939 PM - E1 sees smoke from the Boulevard - "transmit First Alarm" - pager tones transmitted again - broadcast as a "first alarm working fire" 1939 PM - dispatcher tells E1 that PD says the bld is fully involved - E1 requests 2nd alarm - pager tones transmitted again - broadcast as "2nd alarm working fire assignment" 1939 PM - Salsbury Eng 201 sent to fire 1940 PM - E1 at scene - heavy fire on 2nd and 3rd floors 1941 PM - Salsbury FD sends pager tones twice - box 222 for mutual aid to Newburyport - 3 (off duty) men needed - both Fds share 158.955 R but on different repeaters - maybe different input channels also - I did hear them double (the 2 repeaters - but just once - no one sesmed to notice) 1941 - Newbury Eng 10 responding feedback 1942 - Ladder 2 at scene 1942 - "Salsbury 210 on to Newburyport" 1942 - c1 on (Newburyport Chief) 1945 PM - E4 on (spare Newburyport Engine apparently) bunch of chirps - maybe units using direct also 1949 - guy yells - "C1 at scene" --------------------------------- bottom line - at least 6 or 7 minutes until first fire engine arrived at scene - you can keep that in mind as you watch the video - which IIRC - seems to start about 5 minutes before the FD arrives -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
