June 11 2019 Tuesday - heard via Broadcastify archive

553 am tape - action starts at 22:10 on the tape - which is 615 am by
my calculation

615 am - E21 at JFK Station - request location / info - master box for
station - also mentioned - "call for Red Line"

616 am - E21 reports train accident derailment - requests tech rescue
response and a chief

617 am - E21 request a chief to High St (MBTA Ops Center) to verify
that power is shut down - "615" AM per dispatcher

617 am - E21 to L7 - bring all of your medical gear (and) backboard

619 am - E21 gaining access to patients - "do me a favor and strike the box"

620 am - box 33-1824 struck 2 rounds on Ch1 for JFK T Station at 875
Columbia Road

621 am - C700 requests the incident on his MDT

----------------------------------------

5 minutes between arrival and striking of box

initial response was just 1 engine and 1 ladder to the master box at
the station apparently - someone must have pulled the hook or
something

the Red Line is a subway line - but at this station the Red Line
operates at ground level - commuter rail also goes thru there at
ground level

'striking of the box' would have sent 2 more engines + 1 more ladder +
1 rescue + 1 district chief and a division chief + air supply unit +
rehab unit + 1 bls ambulance + 1 amb supervisor

'tech response response' would have sent maybe 2 district chiefs and 2
engines and 2 ladders and maybe 1 tower ladder and 1 rescue and
special units

I am not sure if they would send 2 rescues and 2 divison chiefs - 1
for tech rescue and 1 for box

since there is only 1 rehab unit and only 1 air supply unit that
question is moot
