First 4 Engines and Trucks all from different houses.

L102 also before the 3rd alarm.

😂

Stating an OPINION. What are your credentials? An administrator at a paging service for fire, police, rescue and weather alerts? ( https://usemergalerts.net/#about-us ) Enough said.

Please don't criticize when you are unfamiliar with the FDNY and the special functions each one is responsible for based on the situation at this incident.

Engine & Trucks, if all available: E235, 214, 217, 230 L111, 102, 132 (Fast), 108

If all available, Engines are E217, 214, 235, 230, 222. L119 normally 4th due, must have been unavailable.

Yes, they were organized 11/1/1929.

E326 was organized on W 8th St on 8/16/1939 and was disbanded on 10/1/1952 and reorganized as Engine 251 in Queens.

That 8 Alarm fire destroyed Ravenhall pool, pictured above. I was 12 years old at the time and my father, who was retired from the job, took me there to buff it that night. The next day I rode down there on my bike and saw the total destruction.

Fire Marshals are officially "police" officers in NY State. However, it is totally an FDNY rank and career path.

L102 normally second due. I wasn’t listening, so they may not have been available when the box went out and ended up being FAST.

Engine assignment for this Box is E230, E217, E216, E211.

E230 went as the 4th Engine on the 10-75. L146 was the s/c truck after L104.

G Man. E230 & L102 normally 1st Due. E230 returning from a relocation & 102 operating at a stuck elevator when the Box went out.
