Incident on the Wharf
updated: Aug 06, 2012, 4:54 PM

By Edhat Subscriber

Sitting in Eladios on Sunday afternoon between 1:00 and 3:00, a Harbor Patrol truck came tearing east on Cabrillo and went onto the wharf. This was shortly followed by a very large hook and ladder Fire Truck (probably the longest one we have), then by an ambulance. Then a little later, saw two uniformed somethings walk over the iceplant east of the wharf and skate park and head down the beach. Don't know if that was related, but it was curious. Saw nothing on Edhat, including Roger's Scanner Report, so I'm wondering if you can post the question to see if anyone knows.

There are emergencies ALL over the City everyday... Most are medical calls and whatever equipment is closer will respond (large fire truck/HP). It may have been a simple medical emergency or a water rescue-

271. I agree. SB is no longer a small town. It has grown and the population with it. Days and nights are filled with emergencies of all kinds and crimes from petty to serious , and road accidents of every type. We should realise this and not jump everytime we hear a siren, see a fire truck or watch an ambulance pass by on it's way to help someone.

How sad.

Well...aren't you supposed to say that for every posting about a local emergency?

We have to prevent erosion by preserving rocks at any expense. If there's unbridled bodies of water lapping around then rocks might get eroded This realization freaked someone out and they rightly contacted the authorities. This happens occasionally among the anti-erodites. They like rocks, not water or wind because both tend to split rocks in two. Look at what happened at the Grand Canyon. We can't let that kind of thing ever happen again.

Clearly, no one has a clue as to the answer to your question. This would be the place to look for info, but perhaps not the place to ask...

Of course you're curious, I would be too. Doesn't matter how many emergencies happen around town, seeing one makes it more personal. I was at IHOP yesterday and saw two big fire trucks across the st., then firemen were walking around on the roof; I wondered about it, still do.

Great! Seven posts down I found the answer to my fire truck sighting.
