Think About It


Watch the above clip (courtesy of www.statter911.com) of an explosion and fire that tore through six South Los Angeles buildings, spattering firefighters with molten chunks of titanium. The explosion also collapsed numerous walls and sections of roofs. Post as if you were a chief officer in command, company officer or just manning the line. Immediately after the explosion, what radio traffic, if any, do you transmit? Mayday? Priority traffic?

I don't think that there is a reason, just based on the explosion by itself, to transmit a mayday. One of the first radio transmissions that should be heard is Command initiating a PAR check.
