Accident in Lavalette

The accident was not a fatality. The elderly driver regained pulses after ALS treatment. He was admitted to the ICU at CMC. The OCPO and CIU treated it as a fatality due to the fact that he was "dead" following the accident.

This certainly doesnt qualify for a major incident, but it is good listening. The Coast Guard Helicopters are currently conducting training rescue missions in the barnegat bay on 237.9000 AM

Does the coast guard always operate on 237.9000? I h ave always wondered what freqs they operate on. Thanks

Did anyone hear something going on at the Manasquan Inlet early this evening (8/22/06) ?
Manasquan, Point Pleasant Beach and Point Pleasant Boro FDs were there, along with Manasquan and Point Beach EMS. I wasn't listening all evening but did hear some comms. Early on, EMS was staging at the Inlet and at the foot of Broadway. I heard Manasqua personnel telling someone they wanted to use SPEN 4 for comms, but someone replied that the dive boat did not have that channel, so they were going to work off their regular channels and relay information. There was also frequent mention of a Command Center. Towards the end of whatever it was, around 9 PM, two Point Boro firemen were talking about cleaning up, and one said they were able to wash everything down at the Coast Guard Station. I would guess the whole thing went on a good three hours or so.

I do know there was the Parade of Lights at the inlet tonight (fishing boats, all decked out in lights parade in the inlet) and fireworks after that. However, this didn't sound like just a routine assignment for a special event. It sounded like they were activly working some sort of an emergency. If anyone heard what it was, would you please post? Thanks.


EDIT: Found out thru my wife's friend, who lives in Point Beach, that the celebration was actually the 75th Anniversary of the Manasquan Inlet and they were expecting thousands of people to attend. Apparently that's what was going on. I didn't realize when I posted that it was that big of a deal.

They need dive boats for that? Seems pretty odd to me, sounds like there was definitley something going on.

 

[DJ88]

Seems so to me also. However, there was a story and photos in today's Press about it and no mention of any kind of an incident.

Fire broke out this morning at approx. 4:30 AM in the Conservative Temple on the corner of South 3rd Ave. and Benner Ave. in my hometown of Highland Park today. The fire started in the basement of the synagouge, and spread through out the whole building through the air ducts. The inside of the temple was pretty much totaled, including a partial floor collapse, but it is still standing, and they were able to get the Torah out without damage. The fire was not fully extinguished until a foam truck from Monroe arrived at around noon. The fire was responded to by the entire HPVFD, entire HPFAS, HPPD, HPOEM, New Brunswick FD, Metuchen FD, River Road and North Stelton VFD's, Monroe districts 1 and 2, and the Red Cross.

Nice long police pursuit last night (over a 1/2 hour long) 8/28/06 originating in Camden county ,Lindinwald, proceding through numerous towns (Berlin boro, Berlin, Watrerford), ending up in the sanctuary development in Evesham Twp in Burlington county. This is where it got good. Camden county and Burlington county have ZERO communications between them. This was painfully obvious listening to them try to cordinate the Evesham units as to what was happening in their town. Lindiwald and Berlin units were having a smash up derby with the bad guy back in the Sanctuary development for about 10 minutes and the Evsham units are driving around a half a mile away trying to find them. It was comical almost but I'd hate to see mis-communications like this when something goes really bad. Anyway it all came to a smashing end at the Archway school parking lot off Raymond ave. around 11:30PM. The guy rammed at least 3 police cars during the chase. They police were getting very excited on the radio at times.

EMS Command is using 460.450 PL 162.2 and Spen 4 Fire is Using 453.150 PL 127.3
Interesting listening to say the least.

For starters, not to be overly picky, but it's Lindenwold...

Anyway, I was under the impression that Burlington County had some conventional 500mhz channels available for communicating with Camden County if needed. Or, at the very least, they could've used the SPEN channels for coordination.

Brielle had a boat fire.

It was an explosion on a 38 foot boat at Hoffman's Anchorage. A father and son on board received second and third degree burns, per a story on the Asbury Park Press website.
