what I heard on the radio was a USFS fire person saying they couldnt be reached, and not to try to because they were forwarned....not sure if there was a phone call before it or not.... knowing Steve Whitmore, the whole “9-1-1” call could be bogus...those are recorded....
the way these ICP’s work, is that you have all these agencies together in their trailers and rigs, and stuff gets repeated several times on several different frequencies and probably enhanced or changed along the way....
kind of like that pass-it-on game, where The sky is blue becomes Purple monkey taco by the 20th person.
but it’s pretty sad if that’s the case, and it ended up with FD spokespeople going to the media saying that the people are on the phone begging for evacuations (and having it be a lie).
the guy sounds quite lucid and sane on KFI right now..is this him?
