we just did a 10 minute check of the document 18 minutes to get first unit onscene - OMG 15 minutes to get LA County FD dispatched - OMG 15 minutes to get the radio plan / comm plan figured out - OMG =============================== this other document does not jive with the previous document - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xna6okyL59bk3m6oHphZrN-RWWxOtnBIL0R5EpaZ__4/edit?usp=sharing this document says that the LAPD after action report says the fire started at 1023 - also says that neighbors swapped photos of the fire at 1025 am - also says that county fd and city fd both dispatched first alarm at the same time =============================== note - first alarm by city fd and county fd is essentially the same - 5 type 1 structural engines plus 2 helos plus 2 hand crews plus assorted goodies - this is a "vegetation fire" response - they also have "grass" fire and "outside" fire and maybe "trash" fire response levels - maybe 1 engine or 2 engines only - no helos and no handcrews not sure how the comm plan works in the initial action zone - but pretty sure that they have a predetermined list of vhf channels that they use - but its only 16 channels - so if 8 channels were already in use at the sunset fire - then houston we got a problem - however would be willing to bet that all of their radios are 'all-band' and can do trunking and conventional channels - but vhf is their preferred band for wildfires - since the feds typically dont have TRS radios (this is pretty much standard info for all of southern california - except that fires deep in the national forests will be handled solely by USFS since there are no local or CDF stations around - but this is rare - probably 90% of all wildland fires in southern california get a joint response from multi agencies) - this affects the radio channel usage of course - if just usfs units are going to a fire - then they can typically get away with just using usfs freqs - since they have enough fed freqs to handle a couple fo fires in any county someone who works in the business in southern california would have better info than me - maybe 10% better lol maybe 20% -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
