Also, someone may not have gone deep enough to fix that when they became a squad. I remember a similar issue back in the 90s when engine 294 was disbanded. Someone never took them off a 4th alarm assignment and Queens was calling them on the radio before someone realized what happened.

Thank you. I'm amazed at some of the newer materials that are coming out and their weights. One of the first things I did when I went career was to get on as many committees as I could and educated myself on what was new.

All of the above but it's opinion based. The Elkhart RAM and the Blizfire are basically the same thing just 2 different makers. My experience comes from the RAM. It really comes down to a few different things. Towers on average can support roughly 1000 gpms. Sometimes up to 1500. Depends on a...

I dont know about the Blitzfires, but the Elkhart RAMs which is basically the same thing, was very mobile. 1 person could lift it off the ground operating, and use it as a standard nozzle. ( I, not a fan of that) It still would take 2 or 3 members to move it long distances or advance with it...

I think your right. They posted that 51 minutes ago. Didn't catch the time on this one.

It's possible that it happened twice. When I first started with them in 91, there was no sign that I recall. I remember seeing rms in 173s bay on occasion. The red sign with white lettering showed up in about 93 or 94. Eitherway, the floors been fixed since the late 90s.

Yes. That was done in the mid 90s I think. Maybe 96 or 97ish. I was with West Hamilton Beach at the time that occurred. At the time, they were in a tiller and the bay floor was sagging. From what 173 told us, the city came in and supported the floor for the tiller and the engine with supports in...

Per NYC Firewire Fb page approx 1445 Bronx *WATER RESCUE* Box 4504 Pelham Bay/Split Rock Golf Course BN-20 HAS A BODY IN THE POND ON THE GOLF COURSE

That's who I was thinking of. My dept bought one of their heavys as our first heavy rescue. I actually heard a funny story about a certain FDNY member who taught a class there when the rigs were orange.

They could do fluorescent orange and white like a dept here in FL did.

It is but at the same time it's not. Just thinking outside the box here, it's a big pump. It doesn't need to be in front of the bldg. If it can get a decent water supply, from whatever source, it can feed a Satellite manifold or the satellite itself. Or both. It would be great to be in front...

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong but I think it has to do with Internal politics. The chief who had a vision for the unit, is no longer with the FDNY for what ever reason. The current administration doesn't really know or care what to do with it so it became an after thought.

From what I understand, 260s floor will not support another engine. So there waiting for their Bay floor to be redone so the super pumper can be moved to 260. In the mean time it's at 238, and 238s foam rig is at 260

So basically 238 goes to 260 for the foam unit and 260 goes to 238 for the super pumper.

Does 260 still have a foam unit since they have the super pumper? And shouldn't engine and foam 294 be on the ticket?

Per NYC Firewire fb page, a FDNY units, responded to 165th Ave and Cross Bay Blvd for a person in the water at aprox 2100. Units removed 1 person who was deceased on scene. Knowing that area the box was either for Charles Park or Cross Bay and 165. I'm assuming E331 L173 B39 R4 Sq 270 Marine...

Up the block from my Aunts old house.

According to NYCFirewires fb page, it was an inbound aircraft. Doesn't say where the call originated from. Sounds like the plane was in the air when the call was made. Queens *2ND ALARM* Box 0269 JFK Airport FIRE FROM THE WING OF A PLANE INBOUND. CRASH RESPONSE TO BLDG 269 STAGING

I was thinking the same thing. It's funny. It seems they get more fire in someone else's area then they do their own.
