    3/20/23 Bronx 10-75 Box 2367

    I don’t think so. Different area. Edgewater Road, not Edgewater Park.

    3/20/23 Queens 3rd Alarm Box 5007

    The mechanics/fleet personnel respond with a fuel truck. You may see a guy in a video fueling up the apparatus. You may also catch one looking at the engines/ladders to see how they are performing and may tweak something. But no fire operations or command positions.

    Was there other activity or is the regular assignment to that box?

    Frequently Asked Question

    Here is a little discrepancy, which isn’t a big deal. FDNY always sends the same assignment (not including special calls) to all fires. A second alarm will get the same response citywide. Example: You’ll always end up with 1 division chief and 5 battalion chief on a 2nd alarm. As far as I know...

    Yonkers, NY- General Alarm Fire 03-08-23

    Excellent rundown! I went onto Google maps and that was one big building. I wasn’t sure what exposure 1 was with a 2 story parking structure below. It became evident from the street view. Exposure 2 and 4 sides with limited access. Tough access overall. They had to work on that fire for quite...

    2/17/23 Staten Island 4th Alarm 10-60/10-66 Box 3592

    I believe an additional deputy chief is assigned on the 10-66 (FAST Branch Director). Anyone know if Division 11 or 15 was assigned?

    West New York & Union City, NJ 2 Multiple Alarms Major Fires

    I did some quick math. These five cities have a total population of approximately 210,000 people in approximately 10 square miles! I’m sure they get their share of work!

    West New York & Union City, NJ 2 Multiple Alarms Major Fires

    I looked up IMTT Fire Department. Huge oil refinery. They have quite a bit of apparatus. Does anyone know what their shift manning is? I’m guessing 10 to 12.

    West New York & Union City, NJ 2 Multiple Alarms Major Fires

    Thank You! 👍! I’m guessing that North Hudson must have had off-duty members in for coverage and they manned reserve apparatus for the second Fire.

    West New York & Union City, NJ 2 Multiple Alarms Major Fires

    Both great rundowns and a great video, thanks, Skyler Fire, I’m not from that area. Can you please add a key as to what cities each abbreviation stands for? I can piece most together, but some I’m not. Example NH?

    PITTSBURGH PA Editorial: Addressing the complicated volunteer firefighting crisis 2/1/2023

    I venture to say most all-volunteer departments in the country fall into the demographics below: Population 20,000 or less Stations 1 to 3 Calls 750 or less per year With that being said, here is what I would concentrate on: No EMS - PD runs first response, private ambulance or town/city...

    10-60 Signal

    That’s the way I read it. So they’d be sending an additional 4E & 2L. Everything else from a second alarm has been call for or will be called for on the 10-60 - Code 1. So would the 10-60 - Code 1 really be getting 9 Engines & 5 Ladders?

    10-60 Signal

    The second sentence (in bold) on the 10-60 - Code 1 confuses me. I’m not sure how to interpret it: 10-60 Code 1 Major Emergency Response - Enhanced 2nd Alarm - 10-60 assignment plus: 2nd Alarm if not transmitted prior to the 10-60 Code 1

    TROY MI Mich. city devising incentives for volunteer firefighters after IRS rejected old plan 1/22/2023

    I laughed when I saw this 😂! I did see the tornado and I recognized the name immediately. I hope no deaths, minimal injuries & they can all get back on their feet soon.

    Now that makes sense. I’m not too familiar with budgets.

    West Point Military Academy FD to get big increase in budget. 1/25/23

    Someone, please explain this, as I must be missing something. How can they only have had a $96,000 budget? With the number of guys in the picture, they would only be making $4,000 a piece. What am I missing?
