      J. Bman Boston’s Fire Alarm Office is within walking distance of the scene on Beacon Street. This had to be gut-wrenching for them knowing how close they were.

    I always thought when a MAYDAY was broadcast from an active scene, dispatch was supposed to alert all other radio traffic that a MAYDAY had/has been received and that all other radio traffic was to cease, except for that directly involved with that MAYDAY scene(?).

    • @aarontallman3876
      @aarontallman3876 3 роки тому +4

      It all depends on SOP/SOG’s and what the county/city dispatch system decides to do. Sadly incidents like these normally are the ones that lead to changes.

    I , or we should know that our brothers are in Heavan, kickin the shit outta the big ones !!!! I sat here listening to the audio, and shakin like a leaf. I had the same experience in my years doin it. The there is no way to describe the feelings you experience during that terrifying time in your life. The only thing that keeps you together, and not losing it is i knew they were coming for me. For u brothers out there, never take things for.grànted. train again and again. And when you are done, train again. Learn from your veterans. Keep safe and God bless.

    Great work by the dispatcher, but this was a comms mess. I lost the number of times command & other units stepped on Engine 33 screaming for the line to get charged, guessing the line was burned through going into the basement?

      That’s just disrespectful! You don’t understand what happened: This dispatcher was trying to account for two firefighters who were in serious danger after issuing a mayday while being trapped in a basement as their attack lines burnt through. As a result, the two firefighters I had mentioned died in the line of duty. How would you like it if you were trapped in a fire and someone said that about your dispatcher? Grow up! 😤
