Wild guess. I saw that Manhattan had a 10-75 around that time (Box 1507). Squad 41 wasn’t available and Division 6 didn’t respond. I saw Division 3 took the fire above 125th Street.

Was this fire around 7 AM?

Does anyone know how many “Working Fires” Nassau County gets per year? I ask because I see a lot of posts for Nassau County fires. Is Nassau much like southern/eastern Queens as far as construction and population?

This is an odd building. It looks like different buildings from the front, but it’s one building. Looking at the satellite view, I see there is a large courtyard. I was looking because 14 minutes to get water on the fire seems longer than usual. I wonder if there were access problems? Maybe the...

Lebby, do you mean the engines don’t respond to drug overdoses, or the engines don’t respond if they’ve been doing drugs? 🤣🤣🤣

Look forward to it. I haven’t heard of Long Hills (Putnam County?). I know there is Long Ridge, which is part of Stamford FD. I saw a picture and Banksville had an engine and a tanker on location.

I wonder if any of Stamford, CT, tankers responded? That’s a lot closer than Ridgefield. Maybe Stamford was tied up.

Per Signal73, it appears a ladder from Greenwich (CT) FD responded. Probably their tower-ladder from headquarters. That is the staffed ladder. I, too, noticed a lot of long runs that mutual aid units responded from. If I had to guess, it’s probably due to a lack of manpower… especially during a...

The same would hold true if there was a fire that was on the island. If 70/53 were operating at an all-hands on the southern tip of City Island, the rest of the island would be left uncovered until a relocator got on the island. Anywhere there is a remote firehouse, there is a chance of a...

I guess when they say, “E70 & L53 do not leave the island, they mean they do not leave the island!”

I never figured the numbers before, so this may be common knowledge to most. This example would only work if all companies were available and the alarms were transmitted quickly. Squad not first or second due. Staten Island can send 4-Alarms to a fire and with the exception of 3 ladders, the...

This is what makes the FDNY so great! They recognize the veterans and they always display class as certain dates and events occur. From experience, I’ve seen people come and go with nothing happening. The rookie asks you to clean out your locker early on your last shift so he can move in...

I see the Division is assigned on the All-Hands, Under Control. Is this more so that he knows an all-hands was transmitted in his area, or do they usually respond? I am thinking they usually don’t respond because the battalion many times states, “used all hands, fire under control, no need for...

What’s mandatory retirement age?

Any Haz-Tech engine assigned for the Haz-Mat trio? Maybe E274…

I believe you are a dispatcher and it sounds like you were on-duty, so we’re hearing it from a primary source 👍. Question: Are the brush fire units staffed and paroling this time of year, or did E329 split the crew and responded with the engine & brush fire unit?

Does Fairview or Greenville respond on a 10-75, or automatically on the report of a fire?

This stumped me at first. I thought, incorrectly, that if the backup satellite engine was going to be 4th due, it wasn’t sent because it would go on the all-hands in Staten Island and other selected areas or the 2nd alarm elsewhere. I was thinking along the lines of how squads appear on the...

That may be true, but I understand that they are removing the “clock” from them. They realized most guys either wear a watch or have a cellphone 😂😂😂!

I noticed about the divisions today. Div 7, Div 3, Div 8 all showed up at a 3&2 all-hands, under control. That makes sense now. They get a ticket, but I’m guessing, usually don’t respond.
