Another cockloft fire! Ruff (200) and then Keck (381) on the radio. Good job by all.

31 Truck acting 46 was busy tonight.

I was SB on the Deegan by E233rd, and saw the plume. E62 was operating behind Mobil.

Lousy building, some good people live there, though. When I was a kid in the mid 80's, my ma used to bring me down from 238th to the playground on the NW corner of 234 and Bailey. Many a skinned knee back then...

81/46 and 79/37 were there a lot when I was a kid - also, agreed on the 1st dues for time of day.

Also, with the digital radios, there's no longer the analog MDC1200 "chirp" at the end of the unit transmissions, which uniquely identifies each radio with an encoded 4 character code (for those of us who could unencode them). It used to show up on the radio dispatcher's screen. The digital...

Thanks, Henry. 251 on the X radio.

Nice stop by 92/44, and WOW what a "stop" by 27 truck. Chauffeur dumped the parking brake perfectly. Fire blowing out the kitchen window?

Ah, Marble Hill. The part of Manhattan that's on the mainland. It had a 212 area code after we switched to 718. Also, at 1:46 in that video, ugh - I don't like that parapet. The beams were already burning.

Thanks, Captain R. https://abc7ny.com/little-italy-building-collapse-emergency-demolition-188-grand-street/14316359/ Reports are that wood floor joists were cut and removed illegally. I know this is an old-law tenement constructed of wood and masonry. In the case of the Bronx collapse on...

To quote a Bronx Dispatcher I sat next to in the trailer who had kids who watched the Wonder Pets: "The phone...the phone is ringing. This is serious!".

Nice stop. Looks like the living room in the A line.

Now reports are the workers were removing bricks from this "decorative" column? Also, building folks, chime in on the steel piers that usually form the base of these MDs from the 1920s. I know many have rotted and bent over the years, but this one doesn't seem to even be there at all.

A couple of things - 1) Isn't there supposed to be a vertical steel column in that corner? I thought there were steel columns at the corners and a steel beam that goes across the first floor. 2) I don't like these cracks.
