There is a system that will do just that. Polk County which dispatches for most of the municipalities in the County, Orange and few other places use it. Especially on the EMS side. It uses a combination of area, AVL ( Automatic Vehicle Locator) and a few other factors before sending a unit. Even...

Could very well be. I've had a similar conversation at my dept more then a few times. ( We do automatic aid due to the way the city and county lines run. Closest unit responds. Alot of our guys didnt like that. Probably still dont. But its above my pay grade.The person with more gold on their...

I think the rescues themselves are fiercely territorial. As in my borough my call. I remember reading in Life on the Edge, how a certain rescue Lt, in SI who later on became R2s Capt, managed to piss off R2 for successfully getting some Brooklyn boxes. At least according to how the book portrays...

My mistake. I saw 1048 and somehow thought this box for some odd reason. Eother way the companies at both boxes had a busy tour.

Second fire for that same box within hours.

The widow of Lt James Blackmore, from E332, is missing and her whereabouts are unknown. From NYC Firewire FDNY Line of Duty Widow, Susan Blackmore, has been missing since, Weds, 12/04 @ 12:30 PM. She was going to a gym in Farmingdale, NY. Last night, her can was pinged at being on East 36th...

If im not mistaken, FDNY has a maintenance division specifically for maintaining all of the pull boxes and ers boxes, as well as the direct station to dispatch com system. I forget what it's called off hand. I used to hear the com trucks all the time on the Queens frequency as they tested and...

A City of Orlando Firefighter was injured bailing out of a burning 2nd floor structure fire on December 2nd. They were transported with non life threatening injuries. 1 occupant of the structure was transported to the burn unit...

My parents, who lived in Howard Beach at the time, watched that plane go down. They and some of my other family were witnesses to several plane crashes in that area over the decades.

Makes sense. They could also disconnect PDs side or use both buttons to go Queens dispatch so there's no mistake.

If they have been charged out, 269 and 37 from my understanding are pull boxes also. They are within arms reach of the supervising controller.

Stupid question. What's the pit?

Pretty sure SP 1 is still at 238 and 238s foam rig is at 260. Eventually they'll swap when 260 gets a new floor.

I think they did. When I googled it it came up as being scanned for a video game, but I don't remember what game off hand.

If i remember correctly, shortly before the fire, someone did a 360 scan of the entire structure which helped also.

Dawn dish soap works just as well in a pinch.

If this is in the wrong area, my apologies in advance. Short version is an expecting mother went into labor early, across the street from 44 engine. She went to their qtrs for help and 44 ended up helping her deliver. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/99bBjVdQdxPkyUet/

I think this may be the same.drone
