    5/22/2026 Staten Island 2nd Alarm 10-60 & 10-66 Box 1130

    Communication Manual has the boxes for relocating via NJ. Granted, written prior to the Verrazano Bridge. Doesn’t say anything about escort or sirens. Dispatchers might have directive to notify PAPD, but I don’t know why that would be needed. If traveling on Turnpike, that’s State Police. Having...

    5/4/26 Manhattan 3rd Alarm Box 849

    I learned as a young chief call for help before you need it. I never wanted to play catch up. I think only once I caught with it just me, my aide and the fast truck and we needed more units.

    4/2/26 Staten Island 2nd Alarm Box 4539

    Having been a chief on SI for a few years, when we needed the satellite, we needed it on the 10-75. Like SI 1075 said, volume is the issue. Quite a few multiples, we had good pressure, but hydrants on one way mains and we were out pumping the supply. Satellite has maps of mains and were able to...

    4/2/26 Staten Island 2nd Alarm Box 4539

    I wouldn’t call 60 psi that high. There are other factors in play. Older sections of the Island are on 6 and 8 inch mains, only fed from one direction. Many dead end blocks. If there haven’t been big infrastructure upgrades, hydrants can be scarce in wooded areas, with a few houses along the...

    While covering as a BC, I walked a block into a job or two. Welcome to Midtown Manhattan. No parade, no events, just a weekday.

    1/30/26 Staten Island 3rd Alarm Box 3275

    I see hydrants in front of active and retired member's houses not dug out by me on SI. If firefighters don’t dig them out, why would civilians? Nobody thinks there is going to be a fire on my street
