Occuring this Saturday 6-20. MABAS, IMERT, CFD, CPD to name a few , will be involved. I'd expect Starcom to be very active. Would be a good time for some frequency/talkgroup finds. If i'm home, i'll be tuned in...figure being a few blocks away with outdoor antennas, shouldn't be a problem..

Started at 1000 Hrs...concluded about noon. A 737 was burned in the November Triangle (55th Laramie). No special Talkgroups found on Starcom. CFD Fireground and EMS Command were the primary frequencies used. I didn't have any of the MABAS Fireground frequencies on, so can't say for sure what was used there. At the beginning of the drill, a firefighter fell backwards off ARFF rig 6-5-1, sustaining a head injury. Amb. 54 transported him to Christ Hospital in serious condition.
