@VCscanner @ALERTWildfire Beautiful sunset POV! I wanted to thank you for all you do!! Your tweets have really helped out my friends and family over the years! Please know that you are appreciated!!
If you go into cardiac arrest, without a defibrillator, you have a 7% chance of survival. If a defibrillator is on the patient within 3 mins, the chances of survival is over 70%. Every school, university, workplace, recreational place should have one. They should be everywhere.
In the midst of a tragic and stressful day for our Dispatch personnel and entire Fire Department, we are thankful for our @VCFD Dispatch brothers and sisters sending us a small gesture of support. #ThankYou #ThinGoldLine #LACoFD @LACOFD
I am scheduled to take my Technicians exam this coming Saturday. I was inspired by amazing hams who contribute to my community like @VCscanner and @ai6yrham. You guys are heroes and have saved lives. I’ll post results one way or the other, but am hopeful I can pass.
One last time for now... Thank you Tanker 944 and crew. Hope to see you again soon.
@coogs25 @VCscanner I live in Oak Park and nearly lost my home in Woolsey and I was evacuated five days because of SCE. Cutting power not stupid unless you’ve been through it
Huge thank you to @CAFireScanner @VCscanner for their efforts. From when the Thomas Fire was at my parent’s doorstep to leading us through the Camp Fire & now the Bear Fire. I am very appreciative to u guys! ❤️
@Noochey5 @VENTURASHERIFF I just got dumber reading that.
@VCscanner all of us tonight
@eenajenn1 @VCscanner @SimiValleyPD A peaceful silent protest is not something they should be ‘getting ready for’ by encrypting their radio traffic.
THANKFULLY it sounds like all FF will survive. Irresponsible and causes unnecessary stress & worry on FF families when a tweet is sent out like the one Venice311 sent last night @BDP473 @VCscanner @stuartpalley
The latest update is that 3 @LAFD firefighters have been released from the hospital & 8 remain hospitalized, with 2 in critical condition — but ALL are expected to survive. It’s truly a miracle considering the magnitude of the explosion as seen from eyewitness videos.
For reporting wildfire and structure fire fatalities, it’s always best practice to wait until officials will go on record confirming so. Unless you saw it first hand (lord I hope not) or it’s being widely reported already, hold off to make sure it’s right.
@Venice311 @CBSLA Reporting no deaths (gratefully). You can be sure they got it from a PIO or BC on scene or phone. (You should issue a correction as an acct with 189k followers). Wishing the injured a speedy recovery and keeping them in my thoughts.
@Venice311 @VCscanner @BDP473 I work full time as a photojournalist and work as a forest service CWN contractor with PIOs. I know how it works. You can totally get personal info from a loved one, but tweeting it on an acct as hearsay with 189k that’s news oriented is it irresponsible.
@Venice311 @VCscanner @BDP473 I’m not questioning your ethics and it’s not personal. Just sharing my take on reporting/sources. Respectfully, If you don’t want heat don’t tweet unconfirmed info on FF fatalities on a big account, otherwise it’s fair game.
@VCscanner Happy Birthday Thomas!!!
