    Park Drive in Bronx

    I believe Pelham Manor responds as well and is dispatched by 60 Control. PMFD has been first due to several jobs over the years on that block. Quite the contrast to have the PMFD respond with 2 & 1 and a total of 4 guys on duty then being backed up by the FDNY.

    Mayday question

    https://www.firehouse.com/technology/article/55090880/mayday-vs-urgent-radio-guidelines Excellent summary by Chief Terpak from Jersey City. Not sure if the FDNY has their own policies. If a member is caught in either of those conditions, it should be transmitted as a mayday. If they are simply...

    Stafford County VA 5/29/26 Five Killed, Dozens Injured in I-95 Multi-Vehicle Crash

    Driving on I-95 in Virginia is like the last lap of the Daytona 500. That stretch has constant MVA's and construction coupled with the high volume of traffic. You gotta keep your head on a swivel for sudden stops.

    5/26/26 Yonkers 3rd Alarm

    I didn’t hear of any mutual aid relocating so I don’t think it went to a 3rd.

    Blitz Nozzles

    I believe they come standard with 2.5 couplings. Most 3" hose has 2.5" couplings. I'm not sure what the FDNY's 3.5" hose coupling sizes are but they're also probably 2.5" couplings.

    100' Rear Mounts

    Manufacturer's will routinely bid on specs even if they can't knowingly meet them completely. Let's say Pierce submitted a bid but limited the warranty to 2 years and couldn't build a stainless-steel cab, the FDNY could still decide to accept their bid with the exceptions outlined in their...

    Charlotte, NC FD Fleet Problems

    On the bright side, I see that the CFD has a bunch of orders in with Pierce for engines and ladders. The engine specs have a more northeast style body with side mounted ground ladders which is kind of cool to see in a southern department. I believe they also have a few tillers and mid-mount...
