I'm Woo-Sung Shim and my mission is to document, disseminate, and educate the public - while exercising freedom of the press - and to ultimately ensure our public servants are working for the people, by the people.
I pursue my mission by primarily covering police and fire department incidents in Lake County, IL.
You'll find on-scene videos and photos of emergency incidents, emergency vehicle responses, radio scanner audio, and more!
My content has been proudly used as an educational tool for both public servants and the general public. My content is also used as a tool of accountability for the public, giving them insight into how their public servants work through a camera lens.
Please like my videos, comment, and subscribe. Any support and feedback is appreciated!
That officer is pretty upset that the metra driver didn't stop ready to give the train engineer a hit and run violation i don't blame the officer if he does
Professional quality video; thumbs up and just subscribed. In my opinion the orange vests are more noticeable than lime green vests. The flashing disk the officer had, that fell off of the highway cone, likely had a magnetic plate on the bottom. I attach the head of a large bolt to that plate prior to putting it on top of the cone with the shank of the bolt going through the hole of the cone.
@@jakub_pie4940 Hi, Champaign County uses their own digital radio system called MDICE (METCAD Digital Interoperable Communication Environment), so for a scanner, you’ll need a digital police scanner (something like the Uniden SDS100). However, if you aren’t able to buy a scanner, I strongly recommend the website OpenMHz. This OpenMHz system is good: openmhz.com/system/metcad That OpenMHz system has been extremely reliable in my experience and you won’t miss any radio traffic from any talkgroup. I even prefer it over an actual scanner sometimes since I can pull it up on my phone and go back to radio traffic I might’ve missed on my actual scanner. Champaign County is pretty easy to get a hang of for public safety scanning because they’re all consolidated under one dispatch center (METCAD), and the talkgroups are all divided into easy to understand talkgroups for police and fire. I recommend this RadioReference wiki page as well: wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Champaign-Urbana#SCANNING_IN_CHAMPAIGN-URBANA That wiki page has useful info like police unit numbers and fire apparatus numbers, so you might need to refer to that wiki page when you start learning which unit number belongs to which police department, fire department, etc. The Urbana-Champaign area is very fun and is awesome for public safety radio scanning. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shuttletrain, I don’t have info on the victim’s swimming abilities, however the preliminary investigation by authorities showed he was swimming with friends from the shore to a rock wall, but he wasn’t able to make it to the wall and went underwater. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
There was a RipTide Warning out within the past 2 days.. Those things can take down the best swimmers. I live here in Zion, but I wasn't aware the situation had taken place. So sorry. Let's pray for those involved 🙏 😔.
Thank you for the feedback. I will look into making my videos a bit shorter. I do like getting as much angles and try to thoroughly cover every event I go to, and I will take your feedback into consideration for the future!
@@WooSungShim I'm not trying to be rude. there just seemed to be a lot of redundancy. I understand why you'd want to make longer videos because of how youtube works now in days. You'll find your niche, keep it up.
Hi Matt, The scanner audio for PPPD in this video is from this Broadcastify feed, called “Kenosha County Public Safety”: m.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/40155 Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
Glad that the residents and they're pets were able to get out in time and that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
This chain of lakes is sooooo bad and dangerous. It’s actually a shallow swamp with the gross blarney bar dumping drunk boaters back into the swamp. Don’t believe me go and check it out.
Natural Gas or Propane abd people not paying attention or in the enviroment to long they no longer smell the oderant that is the warning. They chalk it up to skunk or if they smoke pot it masks the smell...before long the hkuse is filled with the right amount of gas and oxygen they light up a joint and boom.
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS VIDEO! Appears to be a donut convention at the boat ramp, with a police scanner playing in the background. It makes it appear like the paramedics couldn’t figure out how to respond, maybe they’re still on the way. Terrible video with little context and little to almost no information.
Oh there’s a God. You should ask him to make sure everyone operating any kind of vessel on the water require a boating license and class. See what he says.
God gives us free will. This life isn't all roses and candy, but our souls are eternal, and all those who place faith in God's only Son, Jesus Christ, will spend eternity in paradise.
90% of people on a jet ski SHOULD NOT BE ON IT!! They are a WATERCRAFT NOT A TOY!!! This is a very sad situation that could have been prevented by responsible parents!!! Don’t let you kids out on jet skis or it could cost you.
Check the natural gas that is delivered to homes. I have discovered they are putting methane gas in the natural gas cheaper for the GAS company's and they are making billions doing this the problem homes safety devices in furnus and hot water tanks cause the flame to go out and won't relight automatically do to buildup of sulfates in the Methane Gas they supplement in the Natural gas. They are doing this to propane tanks and same issue if you smell Rotting shit smell in the Gas or propane that is how I discovered this and the flame is orange not blue when it burns. Check make sure nothing surprises me any more better to be safe then sorry. This fire who knows just I am talking my experience only.
My heart goes out to the family who lost a loved one. I remember a house fire in Zion, Illinois back in 1975. A young man, a teenager who smelled smoke on a cold winter’s morning. Thankfully the family was saved by the young man. The elderly man in the house was disabled and couldn’t walk but the young man helped get the elderly man and his two grand nieces out and safe. I was the young man who saved them. That was 1975 when I was 15 years old. About 15 years later I suffered a major loss from a fire too and I’m grateful for the help we got from colleagues and strangers
There's been alot of homes & businesses that have just suddenly exploded & they all had something in common and that is they had the "Smart Meters" that was attached to the property. Also there have been many more structure fires of homes and businesses that have been completely destroyed and the fires were caused by the solar panels that were the main source of power for each structure. The "$$ Green $$$ Deal aka Climate Change aka Global Warming" is pushed by the Democrats, and for every spokes person and every product that is pushed and sold by the "on-board" corporations & their private investors is more money for them all as they push the whole climate change BS
There is. To alert people that discount calm warning. A woman screaming will get everyone evacuated. You haven't seen enough crises to say this. Most people aren't "trained" to take a crisis like a professional you know. They shouldn't all have to either. That should be the "trained's" job.
How many of these exploding homes have smart meters attached? Wow, They put up a privacy fence real quick; exactly like govt. did in Lahaina, Maui. Wonder if these home explosions are actually from Dews?...
I'm going to keep an open eye in our town here in New Oxford, PA they are changing out gas lines from metal to yellow plastic. It seems they are now doing all the gas pipes to re-pave the main road and side streets. It is a major re-piping. Keeping watchful eye for problems caused by this gas line replacement.

Your radio is no good it keeps cutting out you might not want to upload anymore scanner audio because your scanner doesn't seem to be working as it keeps on making clicking sounds so your radio and antenna are basically no good and is receiving interference from whatever is inside your house you might want to invest in an outdoor antenna
Hi 414RadioTech, The scanner audio I use in my videos are actually online feed audio from Broadcastify. The scanner audio in this video is from the Broadcastify feed titled “Highland Park Fire” which I don’t own. I tried to compare that scanner audio to the audio in the “Lake Forest Fire” feed (because both departments work on the same radio channel) and it had worse quality, so I went with this one. I understand what you’re saying though, however I couldn’t do much here because this feed audio was the best quality available on Broadcastify. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!
That is the most people this house and property have probably seen in years. These days you live in your house in isolation afraid of people that the stranger is the danger. Some lawyer didn't get the house in this family contest. Over the estate.
Glad that they got the person responsible for this incident, and hopefully the courts will have to deal with him. Hopefully there were no other injuries to anyone related to this incident. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
