listening in via scanner app (the fd feed is down - but the police and fire feed is up)
"control" is the police dispatcher "fire alarm" is the fire/ems dispatcher 400 is the officer on Engine 4 today - tuesday - station 3 test alerted at 855 am yesterday - monday - station 3 test alerted at 832 am - address given as 268 boston post road wherever Eng 4 is based - they are very close to 420 maple st police cars have 2 digit numbers - yesterday morning they were very busy around 9 am taking prisoners to court "Squad" or "Squad 1" seems to be based at the same fire station as Engine 2 yesterday someone did a radio test at 1023 am - the dispatcher said that their ID showed as "Air 1" - no idea who that was - unknown if was on pd channel or fd channel - maybe we will go back and check the tape - we can probably figure out if it was FD or PD - maybe was a drone - maybe it was a FD SCBA truck FD channel sounded digital 1 minute ago - is the FD using P25 now? yesterday there was a mention of a fly car - maybe an ems fly car Eng 3 and Amb 4 went to an ems call yesterday they dont seem to be doing any radio rollcalls / tests maybe FD is running Eng 2 + Eng 3 + Eng 4 + Truck 1 + Squad 1 + Car 5 + (Rescue 1 as needed for major crashes) - Car 5 is the shift commander Squad 1 just went on the air to Sta 3 for training lets check firefandom and firenews and massFireTrucks for more details https://massfiretrucks.com/FD Info Pages/MARLBOROUGH FIRE.htm -squad 1 is a minipumper at sta 2 - air 1 is a scba truck - R1 is a huge rescue truck - Eng 4 is not a reserve engine as of today https://www.firenews.org/mass/m/marlboro/marlboro.html - maybe E4 is running in place of E1 these days - staffing is - 3 people per engine - 1 person on Car 5 - 2 people each on Squad 1 + Truck 1 + Rescue 1 - that sounds about right Medic 3 just did a transport to the hospital - so they are not a fly car - unless they strapped the old guy to the roof or hood https://fire.fandom.com/wiki/Marlborough_Fire_Department_(Massachusetts) - this shows Squad 1 at HQ but that might be wrong now most of the data from the 3 sources matches up - minor variations on reserve engines - stats on Squad 1 differ - etc "Support" are FD SUVs etc - did hear that term uised as an radio ID the other day blah blah blah blah blah lol "close the sallyport please" - radio messsage - PD must have a garage door controlled by the dispather firenews.org reports that the dispatchers are civilians and they operate from the police station have not heard anyone mention Ch2 yet unknown if 46.42 is still used repeaters seem to work good - most messages are static free unknown if dispatchers can transmit and receive at the same time FD does seem to use simplex on the main channel at time for field unit to field unit messages - or they use some repeater that the feed does not relay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
