I know Langdon is on scene of a large tanker full of diesel on fire and that crews from 59 and 72 are on scene.

Tender 25 from Calgary was called out for mutual aid. Once on scene, Tender 25 called into dispatch wanting an immediate call from South Chief and mentioned that due to liability he was staying away from the scene and not approaching. His voice really did sound like he was concerned with how things were being handled and wasn't getting as close as other crews. (but that is simply my interpretation)

Anyone closer have any other info? ]]> Western Canada Radio Discussion Forum MrVelvet http://forums.radioreference.com/western-canada-radio-discussion-forum/164042-diesel-tanker-fire-near-langdon.html http://forums.radioreference.com/western-canada-radio-discussion-forum/163974-kananaskis-rally-2009-a.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:55:14 GMT For your Calgary & Area monitoring enjoyment! :) Today the Kananaskis Rally 2009 is in progress, comms are on VE6MX 146.7300MHz

I am new to radioreference and the world of scanning! I have been going online and learning as much as I can in regards to scanning, and I would like to purchase a scanner for myself! My only question is that I live in British Columbia and am curious whether I need to purchase a trunking and digital scanner or whether I can still get away with regular analog scanners? I would like to use the scanner to monitor Law Enforcement, and Emergency services but I am just unsure whether I need the digital and trunking systems! I would like to save some money if I can, and so if a digital and trunking system is not needed then that would be great!

First, I have to give credit where credit is due. I found this off a link on EdmontonFireRadio's recent post.

STARS is apparently posting regular updates about missions on their Twitter feed. Things like "STAR-3 going for a mission in Fort Saskatchewan", "STAR-1 returning to base, now flying along Highway 1 near the Springbank Airport at 3000 ft eastbound at 150 knots", etc.

I figured this would be the best place to introduce myself.

I'm just getting the bug to get back into scanning. I have a Rat Shack Pro-51 from my
flight school days but I'm obviously looking to get something newer. So I'm reading the
forums here and trying to make sense of it all.

I was thinking maybe something like a BCD996XT or similar?

Not sure where to shop around Red Deer other than KoHen Electronics? Online? Edmonton or Calgary?

Any help and/or guidance is always appreciated. Hopefully this forum is newbie friendly. :-)
