The city removed all the telephone booths years ago......just sayin'

When you read the extent of that mutual aid, it looks more like a boro call than a 2nd!

Was there another box out previously? I believe E315/L125 normally 2nd due. We had a 5th alarm there about 35 years ago around Christmas night, Briar Wyck Apartments, owned at the time by Freddy Trump. Fire started in a central core 5th floor kitchen, spread to 6th floor and mushroomed...

According to Bldg. records, it appeared to be a vacant commercial property.

If Exp. 2 and 4 are alleyways, what the heck are the buildings beyond those points = Exp. 2A and 4A?? There has to be a education program somewhere for people who talk on radios. Without a map to reference, how does a staff chief follow the operation from his office with such inaccurate...

So, does that in a way, convert the back to a simplex system? TX and RX on the same frequency?

Any updates, or did this wind up like the Eng.94 debacle about 50 years ago - and NO PD available (or BFI either) to respond, in the entire PD division?!!

Was 94 - 48 - B03 out on another box?

I'm retired over 15 years, had literally hundreds of compactor fires in thre Bronx and Queens. I can't recall using typically more than 1 + 2. A standpipe line to the chute, 1 truck to the chute-clear the blockage, compactor room and roof vent. The other truck to search for possible victims of...

Seems a little ridiculous to have 6 + 7 and still call it a first alarm. Just sayin' And then, 4 + 5 on the second !

Looks like those canopies didn't fall by themselves. With all those nice clean brand new white helmets walking around, one of them should have either cleared the area, or told the T/L to hold up because there's men operating underneath you. Five members caught underneath are very lucky that...

Was E71 s/c on the All Hands, or assigned on the 3-3?

Channel 7 chopper was overhead as first units arrived. Fire was boiling out of the shaft between Exp.1 and 4, but not much smoke showing from 2nd floor front windows. What I couldn't understand (watching on TV) was the OV was in the bucket by himself venting, but couldn't he have initially put...

Have they changed the priority for ladders to the roof of a taxpayer; and if members initially are busy, does that preclude the LCC from throwing the aerial to the roof to get the saw to the roof?

NOBODY here has even considered the possibility that the ECC could have simply put the engine in reverse [here comes the sarcasm] (there are provisions to do that, especially when getting back into quarters) and backed up about 10 feet, which would have given him the hose needed to connect to...

Sorry Capt. Bob, If you want someone to "pay the price," the right and professional way is in the issuance of a summons - which I tried, but it was shot down to make these situations a moving violation with a mandatory traffic court appearance.

At the 18:30 mark: That hydrant supply line line could have easily been hooked to that hydrant AROUND the car. There was absolutely no urgency to get a protective line into operation from that engine, who was the SIXTH engine on the assignment. Totally unprofessional and an embarrassment...

Amazing how this company is able to crank out replicas; but Code 3 went out of business making the same models AT THE SAME SCALE Have to wonder why these replicas are TWICE the price of the Code 3 models..........OH wait, theire only making a limited number of each to keep the price high.

With the three sets of 4+2 special called over the 5th, they actually had an 8th alarm assignment working.

So then, the presumption is that when the dispatcher assigns 4+3 due to numerous calls, that third truck is assigned for fire duty, and the 4th truck will then be assigned as the FAST on the 10-75?
