What do you mean by watchline duty? I know they do that for Brush Fires, and E297 is Queens.
They also do it for chain of custody for evidence. If they left the bldg unattended and came back to it, any half a$% lawyer can destroy a case against someone.

Last year, the FDNY became the first fire agency in the United States to purchase Spot robodogs from the robotics company Boston Dynamics, which cost a staggering $75,000 each, according to multiple reports.

A few years ago, the New York Police Department (NYPD) planned to adopt Spot the robot dog for its police force but ended up scrapping its contract with Boston Dynamics after public outcry over authorities using a camera-carrying robodog for surveillance.

Last week, however, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the NYPD will go ahead with its original plans and acquire some new semi-autonomous robot dogs in the coming weeks, according to a report by Wired.

“Digidog is out of the pound,” Mayor Adams said as he unveiled the robodogs alongside police chiefs during a press conference in Times Square.

Meanwhile, felony assaults on New Yorkers continue to rise across the Democrat-controlled city, specifically in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D)’s borough.

In 2022, violent crime in New York City rose 23 percent, with more than 126,500 arrests made for murder and non-negligent manslaughter, robbery, felony assault, rape, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto — the seven major crime categories.

Additionally, felony suspects are released without bail thanks to New York’s bail reform law, with over 72 percent of violent crime suspects going on to commit more crimes and being rearrested for more felonies.

The ROBO DOG can be the mascot for the new super pumper...... futurism.com/the-byte/fdny-robodog-falls-over

(the sign on the side of the entrance should read "PLEASE RING BELL FOR ATTENDANT WHEN ROBO DOG IS DOWN".
The dog fell over and then righted itself and continued its mission. Kind of a shame that they cut the video when it falls over and don’t show it getting itself back up…

As I recall, the issue is technically about search warrants. About twenty or so years ago in Michigan- building fire, the fire department extinguishes the fire and leaves. Several days later arson investigators go back to the scene and find incriminating evidence implicating the owner. He's convicted, and on appeal, the conviction is subsequently overturned. The basis of the reversal involves illegally obtained evidence.

The fire department does not require a search warrant to enter a building in an emergency, but once they leave, they do. So, until the investigation is complete, they have to maintain a presence.
