Listening to the absurd radio chatter of the PPD response to the small plane crash near the Roosevelt Mall. It's an outstanding case study on how NOT to use an Incident Command structure and the chaos that results. Someone badly needs to teach IC to that department!

First sounds very organized to me, second already a thread discussing this.

They're doing just fine given the absolute charlie foxtrot they are faced with, Learjet fully loaded fuel as it just took off and hit natural gas line. For locals EOC 1 and 3 are very active and it's already been announced no more units at the scene and they are staging. They don't want to get boxed in.

Philly's good at this kind of stuff. Communications are very organized and effective.

Engine 8 in Old City is Squrt 8 when this apparatus arrived! A Squrt (no "i") is an engine with an articulating boom that can shoot water from higher elevations.
And it doesn't need a fireman to attend to anything other than the pump, just a big nozzle that squirts with a lot of reach and can go pretty high over the fire. The idea is to get four or five of them together from all directions..
