we mentioned this earlier - we can connect some dots here

===================

TG 691 - "DCR Fire 1" TG -

555 AM - "Fire Six Zero to State Control" - enroute to Falmouth to
assist with a prescribed burn - (thats a 2 hour drive)

737 PM - "Fire Six Zero to State Control" - off the air - aka - back home

no other traffic on TG 691 logged at that source between 555 am and 737 pm

=========================

TG 37904 - Joint Base Cape Cod FD aka Joint Base Fire

1318 PM - 2 tone pager signal - small brush fire at Sierra Range - Gibbs Road

1320 PM - 422 on to Sierra Range - close Door 1

1322 PM - 423 on with 2

1322 PM - Breaker 408 on with 2

you can go to massfiretrucks.com to see the rigs - look under military
or state FDs - iirc they have a big breaker and a type 3 engine and a
tanker

1323 PM - 422 asks if there is some (other) fire in the area

1323 PM - dispatcher mentions a controlled burn in a wildlife area in Falmouth

1323 PM - 422 asks the dispatcher to tell Chief Engell to call his cellphone

iirc they sent in 2 more breakers on this fire and got Falmouth to
cover the JBCC station

=================

in my mind - the cellphone call went like this - that controlled burn
is throwing embers onto the base - damn!

maybe not - maybe yes - 50/50 odds
