Adding a Squad to the 3rd isn't going to change any of this. All those run numbers you mentioned stem from EMS runs. And I'm not blaming EMS here. These problems stem from the 911 system/people calling for everything, which in turn negatively affect EMS and the fire side.

I don’t have the EMS runs yet but squads were taken off a lot of EMS runs I believe

That sounds fine until there's a medical emergency at a squad's home box and they don't respond.

Don't know the exact date but will say up until a couple two three years ago FDNY did go up to 8th Alarms

Believe they changed it a couple of times - they didn't, then they did, now they don't again

I'd pinpoint it down between April and June of 2021, after the 8th Alarm in Jackson Heights in April of that year.

I was told that all members of the London Fire Brigade were lost in the Blitz, by an old English gentlemen, I met Infront of the quarters of
E-34/TL-21 on Sept. 12, 2001, the day after World Trade Center attack. I had just returned from the pile and standing having a soda when this, distinguished older gentleman with a heavy British accent, told me about his experiences near the end of the Blitz as member of the London Fire Brigade. If my or his numbers were wrong that's OK. What mattered to me was he understood what it was like to lose, so many of his brother firefighters. All we could do together was shed a tear and know we despite of many years of time, our loss of our brothers was the same.
