3/2/25 Staten Island 2nd Alarm Box 749

In the FDNY when a 1066 is transmitted, the NEXT ALARM MUST BE TRANSMITTED. If the fire is a 2nd Alarm and a 10-66 is Transmitted a 3rd Alarm must be ALSO TRANSMITTED. A 10-66 is a Mayday! that CANNOT be handled by the units already on the scene.

Yes Capt we understand that no need to shout. But the 10-66 was never transmitted.

There for it never went to a 3rd Alarm

Yes as was stated before the dispatcher asked the Deputy chief when he requested a additional FAST truck and Rescue did he want to transmit the 10-66 and he refused and therefore the fire stayed to a 2nd

"Per FDNY Fire Marshals, the 2-alarm fire on March 2 at 423 Heberton Avenue on Staten Island that seriously injured three firefighters was caused by faulty electrical wiring."
 
I have taught FAST team operation over the years. I hear what you say that the Deputy never transmitted the 10-66. FAST Operations are sometimes more complicated then appears at first. Therefore, I am great believer in calling all the help you may need BEFORE you need it. I know I'm playing Monday morning Quarterback, but I have seen fires and rescue operations go downhill really fast. Chief's If you have no reserve units standing next to you and something goes wrong, it will be long time before the additional help get dispatched and is on the scene ready to operate.
