update: it looks like quite a mess. I don’ t see any more smoke but it looks like 3-5 buildings are destroyed / damaged
I just switched on the police scanner and shit is in fact going down. They just announced they are evacuating adjacent buildings.
it has to be pretty big as that is 1.6 miles from me
found on the book of faces:

it looks like commercial space. They just said they are going to evacuate the buildings on either side.

Hopefully everyone is safe.

Bad news aside, I’m curious where this is that police are still communicating in the clear. The move to trunked digital radio networks usually brought encryption with it over the last 10-20 years.

Most trunked 800mhz systems are still unencrypted on the primary dispatch and fireground channels, makes it easier to patch in other agencies, I think. Most police departments are the same, with open dispatch and response channels, only encrypting the tactical channels. They use those when the feces hits the fan, but most of the time traffic stops and general responses stay on the main channel. They’ll switch to a tac channel when they’re being sneaky or have a hairy situation, or a need for more than one channel on an incident.

My dad was the technical manager for a county emergency communications center until he retired. For that agency, they went fully encrypted on all SO and fire channels when they went 800mhz in the late 90's. They did keep a couple of open tac channels in reserve for when they needed to loop-in someone like the Forest Service Rangers or other folks they interacted with too infrequently to share crypto with . There was also an ability to patch into the (at least then) analog statewide relay service . The city police dispatch did what you described for awhile, but they too eventually went encrypted on the patrol channels also.
