Looky Mommy, Pictures !
Short one today but like my old menu’s, this one has some meat !
Not only did Rillton (Fire Station 14) get the new digital siren activation set up on Monday but so did Westmoreland City (Fire Station 3), Shafton (Fire Station 5), and Fairmont-Hahntown (Fire Station 6). At least they were in STALEY’S log book under "things to do".
Coming up for digital siren activation are the following Fire Stations: Hartford Heights (Station 4), Larimer (Station 1), Strawpump (Station 2), Circleville (Station 8) and Herminie (Station 15) HAS had the decoder for some time but word has it that several fire members have attempted to flush it down the toilet due to false activations and not activating when it is suppose to… AND I UNDERSTAND those things go for about $1,000.
Another $1,000 blunder by the Blunder Boys. I was asked the other day if I could say anything nice about the current 911 management. After thinking about that over the weekend I can honestly say ONE THING popped up.
THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF THROWING AWAY OUR MONEY ON NEEDLESS PROJECTS AND TOYS FOR THE BOYS AT THE TOP.
I use to give out Bad Boogie Awards however I used the last of them when Richard Matason announced ANOTHER A-TEAM VAN with high tech toys. No one has ever answered me when I ask the question “If this new van is suppose to act as a relay in areas where there are DEAD SPOTS” like R. Matason said, WHERE ARE THE T1 LINES going to connect to the van and where are we going to find a LINE LONG ENOUGH that will connect to the van that will enable it to go all around the county.
Oh course I'm kidding about the long line, however you see all the towers are connected together via ONE single T1 line to each ( NO BACK UPS ), so if this new $600,000.00 Van is going to act like a MOVING TOWER then it NEEDS a T1 Line.
Plus the van isn’t going to have much of a signal coming from it sitting on the ground, you know. We are going to have to tie the van to a Hot Air Balloon… something else that needs to be put in the budget alone with a new fishing reel for Mark.
Ok, that’s it. I leave you with PHOTOS of the NEW DIGITAL 800 Mhz Siren activation module and the Installation there-of, there-for, and there-goes-more-money-down-the-drain.
That's it folks, $1,000 radio add-on that takes the place of a 33.70 Mhz tone activation. Look CLOSELY for the words "MADE IN AMERICA" stamped on that module !!
Ahh, how much is the LABOR to connect this baby up. Notice it's huge size !
Do the fingers stay with the siren module ? Let's see, which wire gets cut first ?
Couldn't pass this one up... a RARE VIEW of the inside of a STALEY TRUCK !
Can you find the 800 Mhz Radio we bought them ? (HINT: Near the 2x4 used to knock sense into unwilling customers who hate 800 Mhz.)
Tinted windows are NOT legal in PA. How many "L" are in Stalley ?
Rare photo of a radio technician !
