The Orange Lemon
WTF, it is a rainy Thursday and we are looking for ice pellets to start falling. What-a-day ! For those users of our Westmoreland County Emergency Management 800 Meggy Hurts radio Cyst-em look out for “changing radio conditions” which will happen when we have major events such as SLEET.
Honest !
Have I EVER LIED TO YOU ?
Ok, time to KISS !
I have a few items that must be posted today as they are Breaking News stories. Both deal with the 911 equipment and dispatchers. No one ever gave me a full tour of the new equipment so I don’t know who to blame, just read on please.
FIRST, Slickville Fire Capt. 59 was involved in a traffic accident Tuesday night when all the roads were a shite of ICE. Since he is a user of this Radio Cyst-Em AND he had a radio with him AND his wife was injured… HE PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BUTTON on his radio.
GREAT, finally a purpose for those damn buttons and it was used properly !
The bad part is 911 didn’t do anything about it !
After the button press, and a few moments of tense PAIN for his wife, he called the accident in himself. He was very calm and gave the directions the best he could under severe conditions.
911 ask him several times about the accident. Like where it was, how many vehicles involved, how he received the information… FINALLY CAPT. 59 SAID THAT HE AND HIS WIFE WERE THE ONES IN THE ACCIDENT AND THAT HIS WIFE WAS INJURED !
911 ask again if there were any injuries ? Huh ??
THEN, 911 ASK CAPT. 59 WHY HIS EMERGENCY BUTTON WAS PRESSED !
Give me a damn break. Capt. 59 said the whole thing over again… he and his wife were in an accident and his wife was injured.
911’s answer was “CAN YOU RESET THE EMERGENCY BUTTON” ….
Holy Bullfarts Batman !
The next issue deals with someone in the Medical Profession. This person, who happens to be a “ Professional Medic “, was being chased by a CRAZY person.
An ambulance call that went haywire !
While this person was running from HARMS WAY, he pressed the EMERGENCY BUTTON on his radio.
GREAT, finally another purpose for those damn buttons and it was used properly !
911 NEVER ANSWERED THIS PERSON, NOR DID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THE BUTTON WAS EVER PRESSED.
This incident is now being REVIEWED at the HIGHEST LEVEL at 911, or in other words people are talking about it at lunch-time and in the John.
Eventually I will tell you who this person is ( yes I know who it is and THANKS to all my insider contacts ) but I am withholding that info for now until the incident is reviewed by 911.
This Blah-ger can tell you what happened, or at least what my PROFESSIONAL GUESS is to what happened.
When this Medic pressed his EMERGENCY BUTTON, he was in a DEAD SPOT. The radio was NOT receiving information from ANY TOWER SITE, nor was it able to send any information to ANY TOWER SITE.
Thus, his radio was a worthless piece of super expensive crap.
So, what good are these radios with all their great features. Wouldn’t it be better to give OUR FIRST RESPONDERS radios that work instead of PRETTY ONES that don’t ?
Ok, those are the two BIG items I have as breaking news for you.
I did want to alert SCANNER LISTENERS that Stat MedEvac has a new Frequency you might want to program into your scanner.
The frequency is 159.480 Mhz. (see, a non-800 Meggy Hurtz system that I bet works... Richard Matason and Mark Brammell could take a lesson from STAT ! IMO, those two could take a lesson from Betty Crocker and nothing would improve... not even their cakes !)
The new frequency information was provided to me by Scotty J., remember him ? He is Westmoreland County’s # 1 available bachelor ( I will soon be # 2, but that is another subject ). THANKS SCOTTY J.
Oh, oh, OH !!!
Since no volunteers offered to HELP pick out a winner for the Blah-ger Monthly Tips Contest, now in it’s sixth month… I put all the names in my PA LOTTERY HAT from January 17th until February 28th and pulled a WINNER myself (new drawing date will be the last day of the month).
I will be sending the winner an email this morning and will post his or her name on the next Blah-g. I always do it this way because some people do NOT want their name mentioned, after all most tips come to me ANONYMOUSLY you know.
I know who they are, but you don’t.
That’s why I say all your tips are reported to me anonymously … THEN and only then will I use your name if YOU wish.
That’s it for now except NEW AUDIO CLIPS are being posted regularly ! Keep checking !!! You just might hear your voice if you are a Dispatcher, Cop, Medic or Fireman.
Have a glass of Moose Milk on me, keep your Johnson where it belongs, count your calories before giving them away, Mutual Aid Ambulance has been tripping out too much lately, remember to always look to see if there is enough toilet paper in the stall before opening up your internut connection, camping in the middle of the ocean without matches might make rescue impossible, AND finally… DO NOT ACCEPT RIDES FROM STRANGLERS !
