LFD including a decon truck (Hazmat 8) called to Beer Store distribution facility on Sovereign rd. Strong chemical smell coming from the battery recharge area (for forklifts?). This was a nothing-burger. They might was well pick up a 2-4 while they're there.

Thank you SumGuy, thats what I figured. I do pick up the London airport and ofcourse weather. I'll try the LFD and EMS and see what that picks up. I should have splurged and got the Homepatrol 2 lol. Regardless, I have a Pro 2045 scanner for sale if anyone is interested!

The radio shack 2045 scanner is probably 25 years old, and I don't think it can decode digital broadcasts, which I think the OPP uses. It probably also doesn't do trunking, which means it can't follow conversations easily between channels. I think you'd be able to hear EMS and LFD broadcasts, and the airport, but not opp, and also not LPS.

Some sort of MVC happened on Riverside east of Wonderland, maybe around 10 am. Everything is re-routing around it, they say will be closed all day? Both directions from Wonderland to Wharncliffe might be blocked right now.

Helicopter took the girl to Vic, was on the ground at the accident site for 1/2 hour, got to Vic at 10:16 am. I don't know how many EMS trucks were eventually called there, but I would imagine they all would have gone to the closest hospital, Wingham hospital is close by, would be easist for the parents.

Anyone know what is happening at rectory and little grey?
Random Avatar
SumGuy - Sat Nov 25, 2023 10:40 am
It's on Shaw rd, south of Gore on the west side. It's at least a 20 acre farm property, with a barn and large garage which is presumably burning and will be a total loss, surrounded by hundreds of acres of crop land. The controlled destruction of agricultural infrastructure continues.

Sounds like a pretty large shed / workshop going up in flames, Gore and Shaw rd.

The number of false fire alarms caused by people pulling pull station alarms is climbing. It's time they removed these things, at least on the ground floor. I wonder when was the last time an actual fire was alerted by a pull station.

News reports say the structure that burned at 30 Baseline was a small building (or maybe old variety store?) owned or used by an organization called "Caring Cupboards" that stored donated food that is given to senior citizens and other disadvantaged people. So it's badly damaged, 2 freezers destroyed, all the food destroyed.

30 Baseline was a shed on fire, must have been really close to the appt building they were checking for fire extension into the building.

Fire on the 1'st floor patio of appt building 30 baseline rd (LMHC). Not sure if this is a patio of an individual unit or some sort of common outdoor patio.

LFD is responding to a "high angle tech rescue" at 300 King st, a male is climbing the side of the building. This is the Double-tree/Hilton hotel, 22 floors. Do fire departments ever deploy nets to catch people like they show in the movies?
