13-year-old in wheelchair killed in Bronx house fire

What will it take for the Mayor, Fire Commissioner and City Council to act? They are coddling to groups, many illegal immigrants, that use these bikes - mostly illegally by the way - throughout the city. This is a political football and disgusting. I still believe the lithium ion battery that...

The reason the 27 Battalion's (yellow) map that is listed above is split in two, is that 81/46's admin area is between 52/52's and 79/37's - and 81/46 are in the 19th battalion.

These maps with the yellow are all administrative battalion maps and are kind of useless outside of determining Building Inspection and administrative issues. The one Skyler posted is a response area map.

The newly installed smart detectors by ConEd have already activated a few times for fires. The detectors pick up the chemicals in smoke and go off as a "10% of LEL" for natural gas. But the reality is, is that it's actually a job. This has happened at least 5 times that I know of, and this is...

I was told - FDNY shut the electric. ConED came to the scene and turned the electric back on. Some arcing was noticed, and units were called back to find fire in the walls, started from the electric wiring. Not a rekindle. Seems like ConED wanted to get the power back on a little...

Bronx companies now have "6000" boxes which are a "dual response with Pelham Manor FD" and are announced as such. Very nice area with very very few calls for anything up there. Also probably still on the books is Box 8999, which was/is a dual response with Yonkers - the Bx River Pkwy @ the...

Old firehouse is still there. Used by maintenance crews. Current view of Former Silver Beach VFD

63/39 - 1ST 38/51 - 2ND

I doubt it. Won't fit in many quarters.

Both unions - UFA and UFOA clearly stand with the principle that no member should be volunteering in a city/district where there are paid firefighters. Basically, you are taking away from the hiring of professional firefighters by volunteering. Both unions feel that these fellow union members...

From what I heard the new "FireCAD" recommends the closest companies - if a relocator is 10-8 in an operating unit's area, it will suggest them to the box if it progresses in alarms, unlike the way StarFire used to do it. Also heard the upper staff of the FDNY is on board with getting the...

Check out the stained glass window on the top of the house. Awesome. "Robinson Hose Co. 9"...

St. Helena's Church. Many FDNY members attended this old church/school. (Address above is incorrect - should be 1315 Olmstead Avenue)

Had like a 4th alarm there last year. Or this year. Can't remember. Looked it up -- January 6, 2021 Video looks exactly the same.

Imagine telling an old timer from 40 Truck - they are selling the firehouse for $11 million dollars. They would probably tell you they wouldn't take it off the city's hands for a million! Amazing how things change - and this can be applied citywide, I'm sure.

I saw this online from China. Pretty amazing how fast it happened.

WOW. Traditional old wood, single pane windows. Can't remember the last time seeing that in an MD.
