Add in Morganville Tanker 28-3-95. Monmouth county company that responded as part of the middlesex county tanker task force

Runway 29 at Newark is the approach for cross winds and the runway is only 6700 feet compared to the 10,000+ the normal 4/22 runway is. They can accommodate the heavy aircraft but there’s not much margin for error there.

This is a monster fire. I can place units from 8+ NJ counties on this: Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Union, Hudson, Morris, Middlesex, Monmouth. I also heard reports the FDNY sent crews…

Engine 26 not available?

Is this one of the boxes on SI where you get the first due truck arriving with the third due engine (if everyone is in quarters)

L79 acting 85 put the first due truck on the directly opposite end of the borough and then they both end up going in on the third

Perth Amboy NJ units are closer than E162 who is 4th due on the initial. One has to think this is one of the boxes where E151 wants those resources heading their way as soon as possible given the very long response times

Only reason I asked is because R5’s sole mission was search and rescue.

Saw a picture with their rig parked close to the entrance. Did R5 go in with the rebreathers or regular tanks?

R5 had to have work done on the right side of the rig. It was damaged on 9/11. As for personnel; R5 was deeply impacted. Think it was 11 members in total from that company perished on 9/11. I think volunteer companies from middlesex and Monmouth counties assisted backfilling Staten Island firehouses

Wow! Great job everyone on the run down and relocators. This is a typical densely packed duplex neighborhood in Staten Island with tight streets etc. Hope all injured have a quick and speedy recovery This might be the most number of Rescues and Squads on SI for a single incident. Called to...

Heading the “E167 became avail” is a bummer. This is just a few blocks down the road from 167/87. Assuming 87 was operating for a bit without an engine on scene.

What was 164 doing there? Relocation from earlier? That’s a far drive from their house.

This is in that area of Staten Island that is a long haul for all responding companies. Could definitely use something here. 167/87 I think would be fourth due to this area.

Why is a reserve engine active and responding to calls?
