👀 CHP log: "RP WITNESSED HELICOPTER OR AIRPLANE CRASH INTO MTNS OF AGOURA" (Update: After extensive helicopter search, marked as UTL) #agouraHills#agoura#aircraft
Lots of planes and helicopters still don't have ADS-B transponders. And there are certain situations where they're not required even if the air vehicle is so equipped.
BC says UTLat original reported location -- smoke looks to be from campfires in Malibu Creek State Park. Helicopters will be checking Piuma and Stunt Road. #AircraftEmergency (Update: Unable To Locate)
@Viss Depends on your area. I have wired in my local departments here. Sheriff's Dept at @vcso_patrol_log and fire at @vcfddispatch_bot -- but San Diego is different. (I haven't wired them in yet, but I could.)
@ai6yr i'd be interested in the sorta top-third. whats considered 'north county' san diego. oceanside, vista, carlsbad, san marcos, escondido. whats considered 'city of san diego' is a weird cowprint shape smeared inbetween a bunch of incorporated cities.
@ai6yr i think rancho santa fe, the crosby estates, that whole part of town is technically 'city of san diego', but on the left its del mar and la jolla which are their own cities, and on the right is ramona, which is its own city, but in the middle and towards the bottom its all city of san diego.
@ai6yr ah - this place, i found it from one of your previous threads, but i guess i have to be a first responder or agency or something to get a login?
@mybarkingdogs@ai6yr yeah this is sorta what im aiming for. ops.alertcalifornia.org for cameras, watchduty for fires, pulsepoint for medics. if there was one for police that covers more or less everything, hah
@Viss@ai6yr unfortunately a lot of the popo encrypt now, although there's a nice way around that if you have an android device (this makes me want an android, lol)
@Viss@ai6yr from what someone else told me, it works kind of like adsb but for a variety of RF-emitting/bluetooth paired equipment, including certain LE equipment. Obviously that's not the intended use, intended use is to track your own RF stuff but, with the proper technical knowhow it could probably be repurposed as needed. (I'm not liable for that if you do, though)
Other bonus of it would be tracking who's flying drones over your space etc
his talk about using it to track axon devices was chefs kiss
for this use case though, im mainly interested in having a tiny war room kinda setup at home at the press of a button (if another fire burns down san diego, or if there are more riots or if water falls from the sky and people dont understand why or how that could ever possibly happen and panic etc)
@Viss@ai6yr I actually found a json feed for my area and one of my backloged ideas is to get it displayed in home assistant with a notification if an event is nearby
@rachel@ai6yr im kinda looking for the same. i hadnt considered making it pipe into HA, but i have a pretty complex HA install, so that would be awesome! i'd love to find something like that for san diego county
@Viss@ai6yr my county (on the opposite coast) has a webpage with a semi-live map, and in the page source I found the call it makes to populate the data
