we have listened to the dispatch channel and the Tac 3 channel that are available via Broadcastify Calls need to double check the paging channel to see what time the very first alert was at - but in any case - this is what we have heard so far 217 pm - Engine 65 calls off in quarters - apparently they had been out on a previous call - heard on the "Dispatch" channel the rest of these messages were heard via the Tac 3 channel (except as noted) 230 pm - Tanker 56 + T58 + T10 + Eng 56 + Tac 58 + DC2 + DC 4 - deck on fire and woods on fire - by25 Juneberry Lane - (not really sure what we are hearing - both sta 56 and sta 65 are in the area - apparently both were sent) - (looking at the zerg90 map, it looks like all active stations in the area were alerted between first and 2nd alarms) - not sure if this is the initial alert or not - would be interesting to see when 911 was called and how long the call processing took 232 pm - code 1 Eng 65 - (pretty sure this is Eng 65 rolling out the door) 233 pm - E65 asks if DNR has been notified - dispatcher says yes 233 pm - update by caller - explosions heard - 2nd alarm ordered by E65 235 pm - Tanker 65 responding 236 pm - Eng 65 at scene - working fire - home and trees on fire 238 pm - mention of T10 T58 T11 E65 E8 not really sure what the difference is between Engine and Tanker - maybe a Tanker has a little larger water tank - obviously both are going in nearly equal proportions "Engine 65 Operator" is the driver / pump operator of Engine 65 Engine 65 did a great job on the radio - he immediately reported 3 to 5 homes burning - and gave orders to head of fire for 2 units 239 pm - DC2 requests 3rd alarm - units stage at rink / arena 240 pm - Eng 65 tells DC3 that 3 to 5 homes are on fire - DC3 says OK 3 to 5 homes in jeopardy 241 pm - E65 requests DNR helo 241 pm - E65 has quarter tank of water left - conserve water till tankers arrive 242 pm - fire jumped Westwood Blvd - evacs mentioned 243 pm - T65 and T10 approaching scene and given directions by E65 to the intersection of Westwood at ??? 247 pm - Rescue 65 responding to fire in Westwood Hills - heard on Dispatch channel 251 pm - 10 alpha - thank you for coming inservice - stay where you are - not going to use you to backfill a station right now - heard on dispatch channel ------------------ note - this is the info I wrote down while listening to the radio tapes - cant always read my own writing - if you want to hear the exact words and background noises, you can listen to the tapes yourself - they are available at broadcastify calls - and probably at regular broadcastify also bottom line - looks like first unit (Eng 65) arrived in 6 minutes at 236 pm - and at least one home and trees were burning at that time - Tanker 65 and Tanker 10 arrived at 243 pm which would be 13 minutes into the fire bottom bottom line - if you have a bunch of fire trucks in fire stations - https://fire.fandom.com/wiki/Halifax_Regional_Fire_and_Emergency_Service - and the wildfire danger is very high - and you dont put any staff on those fire engines - then you lose 100 homes - nothing new here - ask Paradise CA - ask Gatlinburg TN - it keeps happening over and over and over and over on the other hand - if you spend $100K to staff the stations on one bad day - and there are no fires - then the news media and public will be OUTRAGED!!!!! *&^%%!!!! - of course you could use that day to do a bunch of training and maintenance and prefire planning - except on holiday weekends - oh wait ..... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
