[Scan-DC] montgomery county stuff

[Doug Walton]

Doug et all;
1. The Burtonsville townhouse fire sounds like fire in the attic, as well as
in exposure Delta (right hand side as you're facing twds the fire building).

2. PGFD communications is on alert 2 (basically the same as MCFR ECC red
alert; "contact us for emergency stuff only")
3. Blue alert, as defined by MIEMSS as “When an EMS jurisdictional system is
temporarily taxed to its limits in providing pre hospital care and ambulance
transportation due to extraordinary situations such as snow, icing, flooding
or other circumstances that contribute to high demand for ambulance service,
the jurisdiction may declare blue alert status which suspends yellow alert.”

3 of the regional trauma centers in Region 5
(http://www.miemss.org/Chats/Reg5.html) are on trauma bypass.

1)  MC fire has just put out a task force for a townhouse fire at 2822
Mozart Drive (Burtonsville area), box 15-28,.

2)  Just before that, MC fire HQ went on "red" (emergency radio xmissions
only).

3)  At that same time, they announced that all Mtgy County hospitals are on
Blue (forget the exact meaning, will have to look it up and post).

4)  Alert Montgomery has issued an ice storm warning or something like that,
will fwd.
