9/22/24 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 3513

[Skyler Fire]

When one of the reserve staff cars is activated that deputy takes the division vehicle to the scene , then the division is backfilled with a battalion chief acting as deputy with they’re battalion vehicle.

All the time I have seen it they do not use the division aides or division vehicle. Someone from metro tech will pick them up and a Battalion will come act

Ruptures from large diameter (4 inch and up) gas pipes with pressures greater than 40psi are extremely loud. I have responded to a few over the years. During this incident The Bronx CO attempted numerous times to contact Div 7 and Bat 27 without success. Eventually Div 7 aide advised Bronx that they were having a hard time hearing the radios due to the high decibel noise. I get it. I have experienced this as well in the past. Perhaps issuing Motorola headsets for the APX radios to all Division and Battalions might help in the future. They quickly click on the radio in place of the remote shoulder microphone (RSM) so you can pop them on only when you need them. The cost about $350 each. Available with either 1 or two ear muffs. Good for not only high pressure gas leaks, but steam leaks, incidents at large sporting venues, or during noisy civil disturbances, just something for consideration.
