242 page redacted report from May 7 2019 is at the URL

press conference should be beginning soon

time is now 1054 am edt

[Peter Szerlagi]

pg 219 has a little radio traffic transcribed

where is the radio traffic from the BC to the engine - the engine that
was lost - and the engine that was clueless about the trapped party

Fire Chief will retire - announced at 1100 am edt

[Peter Szerlagi]

page 122 of 242 - mention that E6 MDT was down - this is being
mentioned at press conference - (they had a lot of info to process and
the MDT was down - so they could not read notes) - dispatcher
mentioned trapped person on radio 5 times

[Peter Szerlagi]

pg 25 of 242 - 2 people from first arriving engine dragged hoseline
away from the burning building

[Peter Szerlagi]

1117 am edt - per county manager - there was some radio traffic about 2 in 2 out

[Peter Szerlagi]

E6 asked that the homeowner be contacted - iirc the radio tape
correctly - not seeing any mention of that

[Peter Szerlagi]

pg 127 of 242 - mention of 'pre alert' - imprecise time frames

[Peter Szerlagi]

family will go after holman and buford - definitely a coverup by them
- they put Williams in captain position without computer training -
video was later but who cares? - does that make it better? - no
apologies nor sympathy - 1139 am edt - $36,000 spent on report - today
was first apology - first person did not look at us - 2nd person
(woman) looked at us - we appreciated that
