There were a few pursuits last night. One involved two vehicles and ended with one bailout at Turkey Run Park. US Park PD brought out their helo. I didn't stay awake to see how that resulted.
They never found the perp who bailed out.

There was another pursuit a few hours later if a DUI driver who was also wanted by Stafford Co. They caught him.

Just wondering if anyone is tracking the barricade situation in Manassas? The openmhz feed for PWC is down and I am just out of range of the county system.

Manassas City works on their own system, I believe the police channel are encrypted. I assume all of the PWCPD officers who were assisting switched over to ManCity's channels.

Loudoun is working a brush fire on Brown's Mill Lane west of Lucketts. There is mutual aid from Frederick and Montgomery.
1640- About 75 acres involved at this time, requesting some resources from the Dept of Forestry.

VSP in pursuit of a Honda Odyssey southbound I95. Speed over 100.
Hit a vehicle near Rt1.
Were advise to terminate if it reached the work zone past Rt123.
Fairfax1 is on the way.
2325- Crashed into rear of another vehicle and overturned right after supervisor confirmed to terminate. Hit a tractor trailer too.

At one point a trooper pulled up along side it and the driver gave him the peace sign.


Traffic was already at a standstill, now it's really going to get bad.

Last night I think there were four pursuits in D7.
Already had one from D2 into D7 about an hour ago.

I though I woke up to the end of a pursuit when they had the helo up pointing out the perps in Springfield.
Reviewing audio around that time I'm hearing about multiple fatal pedestrian strikes on the Beltway and then additional follow-up wrecks including a tractor trailer nearly taking out a trooper.

^that was last week

No wonder things weren't making sense. Tried selecting 3/17 again and for whatever reason it goes to 3/10 traffic. So it wasn't something I did.

Something else I noticed- on the night of 3/16 VSP was escorting someone from NOVA to Richmond. The governor? And in the 3/10 comms there was a unit mentioning he was on his way back from an escort.

Maybe. The Governor had an event on 3/15 in NOVA. Do you remember what time/what channel that was on?

I believe the 3/10 escort was for a plane going to Udvar Hazy from the Museum.

The STARS OpenMHz page has been down since 3/10, which is why you haven't heard any comms since then.

It looks as the Openmhz feed for the STARS Independent Hill site is offline since 0741 AM on 3/10, so no archive after this time. That feed was a good one, but for whatever reason the host took it down.

Police are currently searching for a murder suspect in north Alexandria. Suspect vehicle was found abandoned so a perimeter has been established. Fairfax helo is assisting.

Brush fires having been breaking out all over Loudoun. Fauquier is also working a pretty large fire with lots of smoke blowing into Loudoun. Too bad I can't get involved, I've completed all the online FEMA courses for wildland firefighting, just need to do the practical stuff for full certification. But I will be joining a volunteer fire company and hope to be in the summer fire academy. Did a ride along last night.

Thanks for considering volunteering.
