Logan Airport

MassPort FD covers Logan International Airport in Boston

listening to them via 453.90R over the last couple of days - this is

what we have dredged up

Rescue 1 is the primary responder to EMS calls - if Rescue 1 is not

available, then Engine 1 or Ladder 1 is sent

Possibly - if Rescue 1 is out of service for mechanical reasons - then

Eng 1 is primary for EMS calls on rampside (airfield side) and Ladder

1 is primary for EMS on streetside

Responding to rampside calls - units leave HQ and drive directly onto

ramps, aprons, taxiways, runways etc afaik

Responding to streetside calls - HQ units turn left out of HQ - go

thru south security gate onto Harborside Drive

fire calls in the terminals and airport buildings are responded to by

Engine 1 + Ladder 1 + Rescue 1 + C5 - (such as pull station activation

or odor of something burning)

it seems that mention was heard of Engine 5 on the fire calls - but I

am not sure about that - there is no Engine 5 on the radio tests

If E1 / L1 / R1 are busy, then E17 handles EMS calls in the terminals

The lineup (by station) is -

HQ - C5 (duty chief) + E1 with 3 people + L1 with 3 people + R1 with 2

people + E17 with 2 peoples + E3 with 2 peoples

Sta 2 - E21 with 2 people and E23 with 2 peoples

the staffed crash trucks are E17 + ? E3 + E21 + E23

fire calls in the terminals (the piers maybe) are apparently

approached from rampside (airfield side) - ems calls are probably the

same

HQ would take the streetside approach for incidents at the 'front' of

terminals or on the terminal roadways and parking lots

probably all units respond to Alerts 1 + 2 + 3 - by 'all units' we

mean all "staffed units" - which would be - Marine 32 or 31 + E1 + E3

+ E17 + E21 + E23 + L1 + R1 + C5 - maybe the Stair Truck goes for

large aircraft - Foam 1 and HazMat 1 do not seem to respond regularly

to calls

Foam 1 - is it possible they have a mobile radio on a foam trailer? -

or maybe they have a pickup truck dedicated to hauling the foam

trailer? - do they still have a foam trailer? - I thought that was a

MetroFire asset?

so sayeth us all

to firealert, usafire, firerad2, firerad2, sonofrcma, sonofrcma, sme2, sme2, massfire, massfire

heard this afternon -

325pm ish - Rescue 1 out of service - E1 take rampside - L1 take streetside

447 pm ish - rescue 1 back in service

447 pm ish - Engine 17 is taking Engine 3 calls - Engine 3 is out of

service for 1 week - Engine 6 is in service

(I am not sure what calls E3 gets - have not heard them on any calls yet iirc)
