I expect the Super Pumper requires a specially qualified engineer, as of course did the original SP.

NikFDNY. Tnx for the EMS rundown

“R.C.1?”

Thanks for the MB rundown. Always interesting particularly the engagement if the rescue medics

“Patrol 3” is now a coffee shop

Just thinking about the old days when ground crew rolled a big CO2 cart in front of each radial gas engine as it was started. Impressive backfires were not uncommon.

I counted 43 engines, 31 trucks and 20 BCs on the alarm. Pretty large fire department, probably top 10

K-9 unit? No RM?

Answering 1&1 in part, from the call log: “ 05:37 - D3: I see a number of extra Trucks on the Box, was that called for by B9 05:37 - MD: per dispatch policy for Mega Hi-Rise b'ldgs. (2) add'l Trucks & (1) add'l BC are assigned”. Correct?

Breezy Point VFD?

Delayed RM response or responding bus?

Narrow streets made narrower. Not pretty

When was air recon discontinued? Is the TSU drone serving as a better eye-in-the-sky? Certainly a faster response.

Particularly on greater alarms and unusual incidents it would be interesting to see EMS response, especially it’s special units. I know how much work it is just recording the unit responses, for which I have great admiration. Just a polite ask from a misplaced New Yorker.

Sure was. Worked there as a reporter in the sixties. Hot duty, literally.
