Listening 5 Sept 2013

listening to the tape for the last couple of hours of radio traffic

A Captain's portable might have been wrongly programmed for ops on Ch 2 - Ch 2 was used for training - dispatcher could not contact unit at

training

Car 7 might be the Training Officer

Car 3 was testing fire box at American Insulated Panels at 75 John Hancock Road - his portable radio could not hear the dispatcher in the

building

Some radio box was having a problem - dispatcher was not receiving any signals - possibly an invalid code - dispatcher was asked to check his screen for any invalid codes

AMR Medic 1 went to a private call that the fire dispatcher did not know about - Eng 3 was sent later - Medic 1 cancelled Eng 3 saying that they got the patient outside already - was call for disoriented party

Dispatcher sends 3 attention beeps before sending station pager tone sets - all calls are dispatched via Channel 1

Eng 3 might be based at Weir Station

Eng 4 to HQ for repairs - "Engine 4 retuning to Bay" (Fire Station)

"Unit 4 radio check" - possibly the portable radio for Eng 4 Officer

Ladder 2 to Central for equipment

Dispatcher is called "Dispatch" or "Fire Dispatch" or "Taunton Fire Dispatch"

"Unit 9 to Engine 9" - I think that was the Engine 9 Officer calling the Engine 9 Driver

"Engine 9 off at East Taunton (Fire Station)" - same as it ever was

"Engine 5 off at Oakland" (Fire Station)

Last night - smoke in home at 148 Rachel Drive - E4 & E1 & E5 & Snorkel & Rescue & Car 2 - street not listed in Engine 4's Roladex - 2041 time out - 2048 E4 at scene - 2049 Car 2 and Rescue at scene - guy next door had small fire on his deck
