Rainshadow Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 does anyone remember when that trace was in philly?...i have absolutely no recollection of it being close to snowing. It was with the upper trough that moved through during the afternoon of the 5th. Another relatively weak low passed south of the area and brought steadier wet snow for a little while in our extreme southern CWA. I didn't remember myself, I had to look it up. .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... THE STEADY PRECIP OVER SRN DELAWARE WILL BE DONE SHORTLY AND WILL NOT BE IN THE OVERNIGHT FCST. WIDELY SCATTERED FLURRIES HAVE DEVELOPED OVER SE PA AND NE MD AND THEY ARE MOVING SE...SO AN ISOLATED --SW WAS MENTIONED FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

NaoPos Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ah hell, you were on that. I was hoping you weren't on duty. I listened to the whole thing. I was on it. 1st due ladder. Tons of fire, entrapment factor at work. Pd got the kid out, our guys grabbed the female victim (the mother). Unfortunately, she had passes when the medics worked on. The fire had just an incredible head start. Pd got a call for a 911 hang up. That was all. When they got there, house was well off. We get out extremely quick with 5 staffed stations. Lack of smoke detectors was a factor in the fire's head start on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, sounds like you guys were behind the 8 ball from the start with the heavy fire load, plus it sounded like there was some confusion whether or not all the occupants were out. Either way you guys did all you could with the conditions present. Not too often you hear all 5 UD companies get emptied on one fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT,but yeah, I believe that's why 911 hangups should be called back like Chester County does . It at least gives you a chance to get the FD dispatched instead of just the PD on the hangup. Maybe someone would answer on the call back and save a few minutes. Not sure if it would have made a difference in this case, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riptide Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A local weather station recorded a heat-burst type event tonight, it was pretty weird. Any thoughts Mets?

phlwx Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 it's not chinook...looks like atmospheric mixing if anything. if you get some wind at night you can mix down warmer air from aloft if the surface is cooler/calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
