So basically 238 goes to 260 for the foam unit and 260 goes to 238 for the super pumper.

Does 260 still have a foam unit since they have the super pumper? And shouldn't engine and foam 294 be on the ticket?

Per NYC Firewire fb page, a FDNY units, responded to 165th Ave and Cross Bay Blvd for a person in the water at aprox 2100. Units removed 1 person who was deceased on scene. Knowing that area the box was either for Charles Park or Cross Bay and 165. I'm assuming E331 L173 B39 R4 Sq 270 Marine...

Up the block from my Aunts old house.

According to NYCFirewires fb page, it was an inbound aircraft. Doesn't say where the call originated from. Sounds like the plane was in the air when the call was made. Queens *2ND ALARM* Box 0269 JFK Airport FIRE FROM THE WING OF A PLANE INBOUND. CRASH RESPONSE TO BLDG 269 STAGING

I was thinking the same thing. It's funny. It seems they get more fire in someone else's area then they do their own.

From what I understand, prior to the Tampa Skyway bridge collapse in 1980, underwater pier protection was almost non existent. After the Skyway was taken out by the Summitt Venture, in 1980 did anyone start to seriously look at protecting the piers and making modifications to existing bridges...

At approximately 930 this morning Polk County Fire Rescue responded to a vehicle in a ditch near Lake Wales. As the story goes the vehicle entered the ditch about 20 feet from the road and was surrounded by trees and brush and was completely hidden lower then the road bed. Apparently the...

I think it depends on the manufacturer and the contract. I can't speak for FDNYs rigs but all of the rigs my dept has purchased, theres certain milestones so to speak. When the rig was complete, there was a factory inspection to see the rig and what may or may not have to be corrected. Then...

L158 is listed twice. Once as the fast truck then first due on the 2nd.

Couple of reasons. 1 is manpower. In some cases ffs will use Indian cans, water cans and brush brooms to put a fire out. 2 on more then 1 occasion, towers have been set up to put out brush fires. I've been to several fires where we've had 3 or 4 engines lobbing water thru deck guns and at least...

It happens. You dont seem to hear LaGuardia nearly as much as Kennedy. Though WHB and Broad Channel both responded ambulances with 4 people each to the 93 WTC attack and the 01 attack. I was at the 93 WTC with WHB at the time. They will go wherever when the city asks.

037 is LaGuardia. 269 is Kennedy. 302/155 are assigned to 269. It would be a little bit of a run for them

Was 316 hose wagon oos?

ISO and NFPA actually give you a choice. In most cases, the verbage is identical for most specs or requirements. Last time I looked it read either 2 10 foot lengths of hard suction or 1 20 foot length of soft supply line on engines. My dept did away with the hard suction years ago, since we...

If I remember correctly, Rescue 6 was formed with a grant in 04 for at least 1 if not more political functions. They had the Spirit of Oklahoma which was donated after 911, so they used that rig so they didn't interfere with the day to day of the regular rescues. The only thing at the time 6...

When we speced an engine in 2005, and I'll never forget it, as we were in E-Ones office in Ocala at the time watching the Levees fail, we were told that the engine had to be ordered by a certain date, because of new emissions standards that were coming out. If we missed that date, the cost would...
