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...

Do A.B.C.'s occur because the city won't pay BC's overtime to cover the spot or because no BC's took the overtime?

I believe the orginial fire building is 153 School Street. Full collapse of the original fire building. Extension into Exposure 2, 2A & 4. Relocates: Station 1: NRFD E22 NRFD L12 Station 12: Greenville Sq-15 Eastchester TL-17 Station 13: FDMV E204 FDMV L62 Station 14: Hartsdale E170

Gotta change em up a little so Fire Replica’s can cash in 😆

Helps the chauffer spot the tip of the aerial when setting up around parapets and other obstructions. Also helps when driving if the tip of the aerial extends beyond the edge of the cab.

Technically yes. I'm not sure if they actually would though. I'm not aware of any department billing for a structure fire. I have heard of billing for supplies, like lumber at a shoring job or speedy dry for a hazmat call.

It's not just OT that the unions would have an issue with, it's safety and manning. In Westchester, just about every career firefighter has all of the county fireground frequencies in their portables. Every IC has access to the trunked system and just about any other channel they would need. The...

So then on the flip side, what it the acceptable number of rigs for the FDNY to send out of the city? Sure, NYC has a much deeper pool of resources, but sending even one rig out leaves that area short of fire protection. If I lived in the North Bronx I'd probably disagree with some of the...

Dont forget radio interoperability issues, mismatched hose threads etc. The reality is there used to be an annual FDNY/Westchester mutual aid drill. They haven’t held it in years because the FDNY decided not to participate. There’s enough hurdles getting the Westchester departments to be able...

Pelham Manor TL-3 operated at the scene. Greenville SQ-15 covered @ FDMV Station #3.

Awesome!!Thanks!!

Looking to see if anyone knows what brand/model multi-gas meters that the FDNY companies carry for natural gas investigations and what additional meters the Rescues and Squads are carrying.

I know the FDNY has rigs stored on the island. Any idea if they were used or if the assigned companies use their own rigs? I assume the ferry is limited as to how many rigs they can transport at a time.
