Is this a staffed 24/7 unit and where are they housed?
Thank you

At E211 in Brooklyn, it’s assigned to someone everyday

At 211 is an SIU unit. Fire Marshal's office in Bklyn., Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan. F.M.'s offices are manned 24 hours a day, not sure if SIU in 211 is 24 hours a day.

E211 - that’s called the BFI Special Operations Command BFISOC, just the Fire scene unit, training, K9 turn out of there.

CWS is at 5600 1st Ave Brooklyn.

CWN is at fort totten.

Ladder 20 - that’s Auto/SIU only, some guys call it the Manhattan Base.

BFISOC last I saw has the FIre Scene Unit, K9 Unit, Dispatcher, Youth Fire Setter program, Auto Fruad Squad, Burn Notification Unit and the Seasonal Fireworks Enforcement Task Force
