Bear in mind, the Arizona State Ombudsman is reviewing this area because the City of Prescott once again failed to attach the attachment(s) even after appeal.


What follows is an updated COP PRR asking for the "specific" email attachment.


Please note that the COP continues to designate my PRRs as "Unpublished" (seen only by the Requester and COP and not allowed for the public) as show below:

"Here is what I found today……

"Using a Bruker Tracer 3-5, X-ray Florescence Spectrometer (XRF), I had both samples analyzed. The "white stuff" and "black thing". [ https://www.bruker.com/fileadmin/user_upload/8-PDF-Docs/X-rayDiffraction_ElementalAnalysis/HH-XRF/Brochures/Tracer/Tracer_Family_Brochure.pdf ]

"This is non conclusive information as the lab is not official but I think the results warrant further investigation.

"White stuff" positive for: Iron Calcium Suffer And "abundant" strontium "Black thing" positive for: Silicon Strontium Calcium Potassium Alan

It is a good solid plan if the results are positive, they would be the backbone of the supporting documentation. It is good to know in advance what options we have available to move forward quickly with positive test results. I'll talk with Mac about other entities and notifications as well. Group hug, H"

"I agree with Darrell, I should have some results by noon.

If the results are promising I suggest that I send this to ADOSH (this would be my third communication with them on these new revelations and notify them that I would be taking this to a higher authority. And you all can do what you see fit to notify others or get other entities involved. I would also send this to people I know how to contact on the SAIT team. What are your thoughts? DW

DP told Harwood – "The truth will be exposed and lives will be saved because of your work. ” Is this all in line with the ” Our Investigation – Our Truth ” format where anything remains hidden? How about sharing what you have as do those that post here and elsewhere to let everyone know what has been discovered. (emphasis added in original IM post)

And they make such a big deal out of a common wildland firefighting tool – a fusee. The Orion Company product line refers to them as flares. _______________________________________________________

Toxicology

Strontium Nitrate [ Strontium is best known for the brilliant reds its salts give to fireworks and flares. It is also used in producing ferrite magnets and refining zinc. Modern ‘glow-in-the-dark’ paints and plastics contain strontium aluminate. They absorb light during the day and release it slowly for hours afterwards. Strontium-90, a radioactive isotope, is a by-product of nuclear reactors and present in nuclear fallout. It has a half-life of 28 years. It is absorbed by bone tissue instead of calcium and can destroy bone marrow and cause cancer. However, it is also useful as it is one of the best high-energy beta-emitters known. It can be used to generate electricity for space vehicles, remote weather stations and navigation buoys. It can also be used for thickness gauges and to remove static charges from machinery handling paper or plastic. Strontium chloride hexahydrate is an ingredient in toothpaste for sensitive teeth. ] Source:

IM Robert the Second post (continued)

"Mr. Willis in other email threads continually writes “I still do not know all the facts about Yarnell Hill, and even if it is not what I want to hear I am interested in the truth, not opinions or theories. I too want to make sure this does not happen again to anyone anywhere. … This tragedy will be with us as long as we live and … we are both seeking the same thing.” Fusees are generally used for one purpose on wildland fires – FIRING OPERATIONS

"So then, are you willing to support the idea of a Sesame Street and Shrine Corridor firing operation as planned by the YH Fire IMT and Resources on June 30, 2013, and discussed in the SAIT-SAIR on pages 18, 21, 24, and 25 likely occurred that afternoon?

"The YH Fire SAIT-SAIR states in relevant part: “[BRHS] … clear out the two-track road … [for access] and … possible backfire … (an old fuel break) between Sesame Street and Shrine Road. … dozer to open the line. [BRHS] move their crew carriers toward the Shrine of St. Joseph (the Shrine) and a youth camp area around 1500 and then start preparing for burnout along the dozer line. “ (pp. 18, 21) “… SPGS1 … [asks] if they still have the option to burn out from the dozer line. [BRHS] tells him no. … DIVS A, … agrees and says … the fire is almost as far as the [GMHS] vehicles. … DIVS A says, “… we’re going to make our way to our escape route.” (p. 24) “A task force is … expecting … [the] need to burn off this line … indirect line connects to the dozer line between Shrine Road and Sesame Street. (p. 25) (emphasis added)"
