I agree with you. I think Squad 8 is a special case just do to their remote location. My question is if a squad is relocated to another borough due to no Special Ops units available, do they bringing their Haz-Tech piece? If not, then going to a rescue house leaves them without a 2nd piece. If...

Here are my thoughts. If you look at the relocated companies listed they are usually from other boroughs. Whomever is doing the rundown hears them. However, you generally don’t see the companies from within the borough the fire is in because many times they don’t have to sign-on the air. They...

Just like captains cover for battalions, battalions cover for deputies. There is a difference though. When an acting battalion chief arrives first, he is replaced as the incident commander by the next regular battalion chief to arrive. The acting battalion then becomes a sector chief (perhaps...

I was thinking about the climb as well. Manhattan announced the alarm at 19:58. B8 transmitted the 10-77 right when arriving or very shortly thereafter at 20:01. B8 reported the elevators were inoperable at 20:03. They had a line stretched on the roof at 20:09!!! Even if the first unit arrived...

Is all of B42 area covered by Div 8, Rescue 5, & RAC 5?

Your location information and the companies working does make sense. However Rescue 4 (any rescue assigned to a job) would not return unless all occupants were confirmed out.

Wow, the specialty units all come in handy (communications, haz-mat, rebreather, Purple-K, etc.) S41 was a squad assigned to firefighting on the 10-76. S18 was S/C to assist in rebreather operations. E44 was an engine on the 2nd Alarm. Did they call a Haz-Tech piece to fill out the Haz-Mat trio?

That’s a great explanation. In theory every emergency in the country is run exactly as you laid it out. Some areas are better than other areas. Question: In New York City, how is an MCI managed that is 100% a medical situation? Example: A kids’ camp serves 100 kids and they all come down with...

Exactly!!! I don’t know if you read the thread, but I was being facetious. 😉

You’re right. To heck with procedures, to heck with patient care, bozos write the guide cards, fire trucks shouldn’t go to medical calls, engine men need their rest! Thanks for educating me. 👍

[/MEDIA] That was good stuff 👍. 2 questions: Who is 99? They special called an engine above the 2nd. Then they transmitted the 3rd. If no special call before the 3rd, do NHFD cards call for 3 engines & 1 ladder on the third?

Based on how these fires can burn, they may have rekindles there for the next year!!! 🔥

The world of EMD is a beast of its own. All cards have to be approved by the medical director of the system using them. The doctors know what each condition might be other than what is obvious. As a general rule, they are written with a slant toward being “better safe than sorry”. But when you...

I really can’t speak for the FDNY, as I am not familiar with their protocols. Where I worked, if a patient had an uncontrolled nosebleed (subjective, I realize) and was on a blood thinner, then a CFRD engine was also dispatched. At times an uncontrolled nosebleed when a patient has an underlying...

It appears they used 4 engines & 2 ladders. Was the All-Hands transmitted? I’m not sure how that works.

You make a valid point. However, in fairness to the dispatchers, everything they say and do is under scrutiny. It’s all recorded. That makes it prime for Monday-Morning-Quarterbacking. I’m not sure if NYC has this technology, but there are computer programs that show the dispatchers’ screens and...

I believe that’s all 26 stations! Interesting, Thanks 🔥🔥🔥

WOW! From 2:22 to 3:22 on the video looks like a close call!

THEMAJESTIRIUM1 - When do you eat and sleep? 🔥👍😀

Good info about 421 & 422. As for RAC 6, there seems to always be a firefighter floating around in a Division headquarters so no need for a recall, but I get what you’re saying.
