Frenchville Maine - July 25 2021 - school fire
reviewing the Broadcastify tapes
"Frenchville Fire" was paged by "Aroostook S O" for a general fire alarm at "6-59" am - possibly a dial up system was used to send the page - 2nd page reported a confirmed fire one minute later - several trucks (Eng 5, Truck 4, etc) signed on approx 3 to 4 minutes later at the same time that someone went onscene with smoke from a roof vent - approx 706 am maybe someone requested mutual aid - no more radio traffic until approx 15 minutes later when someone said "OK Truck 4" - all heard via Frenchville FD feed
on the countywide feed or the north lake feed - 707 am approx - someone requested the St Agatha FD for mutual aid - "Aroostook S O" paged the call iirc - this also sounded like a dial up paging system with hang time at end and a beep - St Agatha FD acknowledged the call in 1 minute - someone was also doing random radio checks on the feed around that time - Truck 3, Tanker 2, Medic 60, Eng 2, 7, 14, etc
Nothing was heard on the Fort Kent FD feed but news video showed their tower and tanker operating at the scene
