A headline that I stumbled across today -> NYC To Start Involuntarily Hospitalizing Mentally Ill Homeless People. Sounds like a good idea - would free up half our police and emergency services.
Is the recreational use of "laughing gas" (nitrous oxide) happening here in London (or Canada generally) ? Apparently it's becoming huge in europe. In the UK, nitrous oxide is now the second-most-used drug among 16- to 24-year-olds.
@sumguy fire and PD does too, they hand write all info and even back when I did police foundations the #1 thing we were told was“whether your in the class or on the job if it’s not in your duty book it never happened”
Is there another spectacular freedom convoy on the 401 today? I hear OPP referencing a convoy at Flying J. OPP says that the convoy is now going "10-8" (ie - in service) westbound from the flying J. 60 vehicles? Highbury and wellington 401 cameras are down. Convoy has now fully exited flying j. I believe that the vaccine mandate is still in effect for truck drivers in Canada. The next camera west-bound (southwold) is frozen and not updating.
It just seems like a waste of time and money to have EMS crews set up to document their own work when dispatch is ALSO doing it - AND there will be an audio recording of all calls that can be referenced if there's uncertainty as to what actually happened.
@ SumGuy, likely for the same reason police do. Accountability. They won't remember everything they do, so they log it in books so if they need to reference a past call they can recall the information they need
Its absolutely nuts that the same information about EMS runs that dispatch is recording and tracking is also being recorded by EMS crews for god knows why. Dispatch knows all the info about each run so why do EMS crews also have to be troubled to record the same info?
news report that software used by EMS crews (imedic) in Ontario has been hacked and taken off-line. If you want to know more about this software, see here: Login or Register for the link
Some sort of situation happening Viscount and Notredame, staging on Belmont (no lights / sirens) a bunch of LFD attending to assist police, air-light not available. Sounds like someone on a balcony? A jumper? Edit: Person in custody.
The COL has a tender out right now for fully encripted two way radios for the fire department. Wonder if they are going to switch them over to P25 and well loose the ability to listen to them
@SumGuy it is because with dfib FD is called to assist EMS in case compressions and ventilation is required. It is not uncommon for 1 or 2 FF to go in the Ambo with medics in order to assist
I have heard LFD being called for TWO defib-VSA's tonight. Why would they keep a patient on-scene (and apparently VSA after being shocked) and call a fire truck instead of transporting the patient to the G-D hospital?
What happened at or near Grahm (sp?) road and a highway (401 or 402?) OPP dealing with some sort of shutdown for a while now. 401 traffic maps show a problem in West Lorne.
Is there a way to tell the time of each archived fire? I’m looking for around 8:30-845am yesterday (Oct 22) I can tell the date but hard time making out of each archive has the time in the title. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!
People say that fire arrives on scene faster than EMS but I regularly hear the call go to fire first, a good minute before EMS gets the call. So fire usually gets a head start.
I'm wondering why fire would be called to an unconcious (not VSA) in a nursing home. What can fire do in that situation? Give oxygen - and nursing home staff can'd to that? EMS is also naturally called and presumably would be there in minutes so again what can fire do there in that situation?
@ SumGuy, Generally the municipality decides on responses and tiered response agreements between services. Fire is guided by insurance policies and NFPA standards in the states (ie x# of personnel and apparatus to a fire within x# of minutes).
What body, group or organization determines what emergency service is deployed for any given 911 call (In Ontario)? I'm looking for who creates or the "SOP" (standard operating procedure) for deploying emergency services for 911 calls. Would this be a federal, provincial or municipal responsibility? Is there enabling legislation for this?
Surprising that EMS is calling LPS to break down appt door for unresponsive patient instead of LFD. I always get the sense that LPD is the most tardy or unavailable of the services compared to fire.
Is car 1 active again? I've either seen car 2 at station one a lot the last 2 days, or they're using a F250 for car 1 again instead of the Explorer they purchased early 2020
Does anyone know if the Churches Chicken at Westmount mall (formerly the TD bank) is still going to happen? It's still not open, still has a sign that says coming soon and also still has a for-lease sign in the window.
OPP doing a vehicle take down, sounds like collision, dogs in suspect car. Government rd, Grand Bend. Car had Mich plates, 2 or 3 (large) dogs, female driver on coke, 2 OPP cruisers damaged.
Heard ambulance say they are staged at entrance waiting for police to give go ahead “someone shot in the air” not sure if that was related. I didn’t hear a gun shot
Fire has been dispatching various vehicles over the past 15 minutes to Vic hospital, being cagey about what's going on (see your print-out). It's some sort of "tech rescue". Any idea what's going on? Might be on the roof of the parking garage.
Fire dispatched to pedestrian mvc - "see your printout". Car 6 said "I have no printout", dispatch asked if wanted address over the air, car 6 said emphatically "yes". Why all of a sudden is fire dispatch not putting out location info over the air for vehicle incidents?
OPP is doing radar right now. Anyone know where? Tesla doing 131 just caught. I wonder if anyone's ever asked Musk to put radar detectors in the Tesla.
3 people were arrested southwest of London Wednesday night after a break-and-enter was reported in progress. Middlesex County OPP called to a home on Bells Road near Southwold after two masked men broke in with a gun and a bat. The homeowner confronted the intruders and fled the home. Canine teams found and arrested the two men on foot close to the home.
OPP are tracking a male, believed to have fired shots at a person or a home to the east of Muncey, tracking happening in a woodlot carriage rd / little church rd.
If anyone has the clip to this afternoons call to 693 Talbot i would appreciate it if it landed in my email. time is between 1310 and 1340Thanks. I seem to have left my membership unchecked for a bit. i will need to catch that up LOL
EMS is bringing a 40's male to St thomas hospital code 1 VSA. They're doing cpr and say they haven't shocked him. I have to ask why. Why do cpr? You're not going to bring him back by doing cpr. Too bad he's going to die because they're not going to defib him.
I think they are at the movie theater at westmount mall for a burning smell that they now think is coming from a neighborhood bbq that got pulled into the theater air system.
Can't find "Van Bobbles" towing anywhere. This is the towing company that is almost always dispatched by OPP for cars caught stunt driving, but I can't find them anywhere on the web.
it’s just awful that someone broke into smileys pizza shop last night. they are going through so much right now because the owner is in a coma in the Hospital
I would imagine there would have been a lot of noise, sirens associated with this police call (?) on morning of Aug 5 -> Login or Register for the link
A few things from tonight. 4-year old punched in the face at Timmy"s Adelaide and Oxford. Someone stabbed in the chest at Dundas and Richmond and another stabbing at the Saly Ann. I bet none of these will be in the news.
EMS has called Fire for unconcious (I believe, not VSA). EMS has given 2 doses of narcan, but has still called Fire. No idea why. Why wouldn't EMS be bundling the patient up for transport to hospital? Fire get there, 3 story walkup, but patient is outside, in green space behind building. Fire then is told by EMS on scene that patient got up and ran away. It still baffles me why fire is called to stuff like that.
Tow trucks are going to hear the EMS dispatch location, so it doesn't matter if Fire doesn't broadcast it. I think for same reason Fire doesn't broadcast suicide calls (it's "see your printout" for those). If extracation is needed I think that's why they don't broadcast the location.
one reason the fire are getting see printout for the MVC are that two many tow trucks are listening to the scanner and showing up and are just getting in the way
Interesting. Fire is responding to I believe an MVC, with extracation, but dispatch won't say where it is. They are saying "see your printout". I've never heard them not broadcast the location before. It is a car, on it's side. Engine 2 / Car 2 is dealing with it.
