The only aircraft that left YXU last night was the Beechcraft. I was wondering why an Orng helicopter wouldn't have been used directly from Vic to downtown Toronto hospital. It would have easily saved an hour in travel time.
Last night I was hearing that the OPP (why the OPP?) was transporting a couple of doctors and a heart from Vic at 22:30 to the airport. I was checking flights but didn't see anything. I see now that a private charter (Beechcraft King Air 90) took off at 23:45 and landed at Toronto Pierson.
You can't sue for punative damages in Ontario. Multi-million dollar awards are seen frequently in the US, very rare in Canada for medical or EMS mal practice (or anything).
(a) this is not the USA (very different lawsuit/legal situation), (b) overwhelming % of patients are MH/HBD or otherwise indigent (no financial ability to sue), (c) I'm sure they have tape recording of all calls and can get all timing info from them.
EMS is very focused on documenting time. Time in transit, time in contact with patient, time for every aspect of a call, to the minute. Is their pay split up into different rates that would necessitate this insane level of record-keeping?
Also, an 18 or 19 girl was discovered to be missing from her house (I forget when this was, between 9 and 11 pm last night) it was out in the county, that triggered another ground search, I think they wanted to bring in the canine that was being used in parkhill.
There is a forested area in Parkhill where apparently youths go to cut themselves. A couple of opp officers were on foot in this area (one with canine) looking for some missing kids. They did come across an area where the cutting is done (there was some blood seen, and some bandages). They eventually called off the foot search, nobody found.
So just to be clear, they did not track him from stalker, they thought he got picked up and was gone. They got tip about someone on foot near the bridge.
The distance from Stalker to dymock on Dunborough is 5, maybe 6 km. How this guy could cover that ground without the OPP seeing him is incredible. They only know to look for him in that area because a civillian (plow driver?) saw guy on foot and told opp.
Ok, so the suspect did not get a ride near stalker. They tracked prints north on dunborough to dymock where he possibly tried to go over or under the bridge, but (and not sure how or when) a pickup truck picked him up and he/they are in a field near dymock and dunborough, OPP all around with spike belts.
This is what happens when OPP are told to keep far away from vehicle. Footprints indicate he was on foot back from Stalker rd to Dunborough rd where he got a lift from a car, likely arranged by phone call. They weren't even close enough in this sparse area to monitor and ID other vehicles coning/going from the area.
Vehicle is stopped on Stalker line, suspect or suspects are on foot, lots of units (including LPS) converging on area. Looking for single male on foot, knife was used in theft.
OPP being told repeatedly to keep your distance from this vehicle, do not engage it. Currently west bound on Duff line, they think heading to Moravian town reserve.
It's 10 am and they're still dealing with terrible conditions and crashes and closures on the 401/402 and the sun is out and blazing for hours. It's a crime that the highways weren't fully prepared for traffic by 6 am today. The pathetically small amount of snow we got overnight was long over by then.
Suspect crashed the stolen truck, passer-by came to the accident and suspect showed gun and stole their truck. Suspect is at large. Login or Register for the link
@ London-Dad, Clearly (usually) on the fire only scanner, but it cuts in/out like a loose wired connection on the regular channel. Been happening for a a few weeks? Some days worse than others. Wasn't listening earlier today or this evening tho' if your question was just for "currently"
Anyone heard what’s happening Dundas east & Charlotte (I think) close to Egerton - 3 ambulances + 1 fire + several police - 1 police escort with ambulance to hospital
Do people hear a different mix of broadcasts (EMS and/or OPP and/or Fire) depending on how they access LondonScanner (PC+browser vs phone) ? Because I'm hearing EMS+OPP but not hearing any fire.
I'm not sure what you mean by the ems "page". I listen to the scanner through a browser running on windows 7, and I hear EMS and OPP (intermixed). Fire has disappeared (anyone know why)?
Last friday, @smarty was asking about police / swat on Adelaide north of oxford, around midnite. According to LexisNexis crime map, there was a business B&E at 2:47 am on the 15'th at 1100 block of Adelaide N, and a theft under $5k on the 200 block of Taylor at 7 pm. Neither of which would require 2 swat cars, so no idea what was going on or why it's not in Lexis.
A 30's woman is having emotional issues over a boyfriend - and an ambulance gets called for this?! Isin't this when you call your mom or your sister or BF?
@ jmceachnie, finding the transmission really broken lately on occassion, like a "speaker cutting out", thought it was on my end. LOL good to know it's not me?
To my knowledge, gravel pits are private property and because of the depth of the water and liability, the owners don't want people on them skating. That's why they're surrounded with No Trespassing signs
Just starting to listen tonight. Gravel pit and skating? Were they violating some crackpot covid rule, or was it that the ice isin't thick enough and gravel pits are deep?
@ Jake1283, there should only be about a 20 to 30 second delay...thats been my experience. sometimes the player repeats its self but other then that idk
My observation: the radio feed appears to be delayed someway or another. I was listening today (Jan 7) in the morning I heard the call out for the MVC at Bradley and Jackson. I read in the news today that that MVC occurred Jan 06 at 1pm. Confused me as I know the dispatcher often says the time for a call, any ideas?
Another OPP pursuit that is ordered to stop before it even begins. Second line and mohawk. They're not even allowed to follow at posted speed. They have to pull over and report milage and stew for a few minutes.
