11/1/24 Manhattan 6th Alarm / 10-66 Box 1622

[Trooper473]

How were they able to let this get away from them? 3:00 pm MBFKD; then fire breaks out on the 5th floor, then fire in the cockloft?
We had many H type MDs in the south Bronx with vertical voids. Fires on lower floors always sent a truck co. to the top floor to check for extension and see if it had gotten into the cockloft. What has changed, and why?? This would hardly ever go to a 5-5 on Watson aAe or Ave.St. John in the 70's."

"Hardly ever"... So what you're saying is that sometimes it would... Keep pounding your chest.

its unreal that the closest companies dont go on a 10-66. Thats almost as big a fucking disgrace as allowing fires to go to a 5th cuz no senior men exist anymore.

R3 is transporting RC3

 

[Signal73]

Didn’t see R3 taking it

 

[fire28]

Didn’t see R3 taking it

L27 advised R3 was taking RC3 and Manhattan put L27 10-8

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery of the injured member. That’s the most important issue here. 🙏🙏

 

[Lebby]

So the FAD dispatching referred to this job as a 6th Alarm, and the OPI put out a press release in the same vein.

 

[Signal73]

And yes this was a 6th Alarm

 

[Skyler Fire]

I believe it’s a 6th because when they transmitted the 5th then they did the 10-66 which requires the next higher alarm.

You are correct "Skyler Fire" - it has reached a 6th alarm

Here is a report from the FDNY officials on the scene.

🌟 MAYDAY 🌟 FDNY Manhattan 6th Alarm Box 1622 Fire on all Floors with a Mayday Firefighter Fell

 

[FormerCpt]

I normally don't post on here, prayers to the injured member ! I was a fireman in that company yrs ago. I also learned a long time ago never to Monday morning quarterback, you never know when you might be next. As far as "Senior" goes, I worked with you, respected you, but sadly, time to remove your tie and enjoy retirement brother!

The 11 PM news said FF fell 40 feet in a shaft in the building. Could explain the rapid extension to upper floors and the cockloft.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Thank God the injured firefighter is going to be ok……. He was talking with Tucker and Esposito when I left the hospital this evening….
