Per NYCFirewire about 1530 Bronx *TRENCH RESCUE* Box 2910 1759 West Farms Rd off E 174 St CONSTRUCTION WORKER DOWN IN A 6FT HOLE

I'm not surprised. When you look at the average engine or ladder response area and call load vs the rescues, and Haz Mat, they get beat up faster since they run basically the entire Boro and the city. I would not be surprised if Haz Mat was up there callwise with the top 2 or 3 rescues as far as...

If they use NFPA specs, which is what it sounds like where the 10 year replacement schedule came from, for front line units, I want to say off the top, of my head it was 10 years as frontline, another 5 or 10 years as a reserve/spare ( depending on local verbage) and if you rehab a unit, you can...

I'm not surprised. When I lived up there, it wasn't uncommon during events like this people would be boating or kayaking in the streets of old HB. I've done it more then a few times. Took a friend of ours who retired from 285 to his boat at the HB boat club to check on it because he couldn't...

Looks like Coleman Square by the train station. My grandparents had a business towards the right of that picture. My aunt also said Crossbay was closed between 162 Ave and 164 because it was underwater.

Hate when you can see it, but you can't play

285,293, 142 and and 143 spent a lot of time at jobs in Brooklyn. All 4 were at this job and 1885 not long before this job came in.

You'll also see Doubtful or DWH. Which is doubtful will hold with the units assigned. Which may require more alarms or equipment.

Yep. There was a 2nd on Atlantic for the normal first due units here, about an hour before this came in. 143 and 308 came from the 2nd to this job.

Orlando Tower 11 and Orange County Truck 51, along with Elves from both Special Operations teams visited the Advent Health Women's and Children's hospital. ▶️ Watch this reel https://www.facebook.com/share/r/eLrj36MzKaL6XEDZ/?mibextid=qi2Omg

I cant explain the chief of training and fire academy other then to get 1st hand experience of what works and doesn't so they can develop real world scenarios to use for further training The extra engine and truck is a case by case basis. The ic may feel they can handle the situation with just...

I dont doubt it. For some reason I remember 5 in the 80s or early 90s but could be wrong. Of all the commercial fires I was at in the early 90s I only remember seeing 1 at a Queens fire. That was a hardware store in Coleman Sq. At that time Blockbuster burned at least 3x, the old Wauldbaums or A...

There was 3 at the time of their disbanding. 1 and 2 were in Manhattan and FP 3 was in Brooklyn. Going by FDNYtrucks photos. There may have been more at 1 point.

Most likely all the way down roughly in a line from where the water is being applied. Besides the obvious of water pooling and running down stairwells, it'll find every chase, crack or hole and gravity does the rest.

Question. I know there's probably more then 1 unit with a RM designation. So when we see RM request a RAC like in an earlier post, is that Resource Management(er) or the Rescue Medics? Along the same lines I see RM listed with other specialized units like CTU for different emergencies. Is that a...

Per NYCFirewire Retired Firefighter Donald Blaskovich (E-13) passed away. Though he retired almost 50 years ago, Donald was a fixture of the E-13, L-20 family. He lived in Massachusetts but at least twice a year he would come spend a weekend with L-20. He loved the 20 members and they loved...

We have Ronald McDonald's House and Give Kids the World Village not far from where I live. During Covid, Disney donated lights from the Osborne Light display they used to have to GKTW and had a bunch of corporations sponsor different houses, then sold tix. It was the best money we could have...

44,13 and the 19th preceint helped Santa with his yearly visit tonthe Ronald Mcdonald House

Which is probably why fleet services supervisors are assigned on different alarms. So when an issue pops up like this, they can get the ball rolling to get the equipment fixed or out of the way. Or get the fuel truck moving if needed.

There's no 1 real answer here since there's so many variables. Literally depends on the weather, is it hot or cold, snow, rain....... what kind of fire conditions are left, is it surround and drown or watch for flare ups, is there a lot of overhaul. Is there a collapse Hazzard or collapse...
