Didn't hear the whole call but can confirm they used all hands, some units were turned around before reaching the scene

Some interesting proposals. A few things I noticed: - Looking at a potential pilot program to have ladder companies to respond to CFRD - Looking at having fire companies be able to get a refusal of medical attention without having to wait for EMS to free up resources - Looking at having EMS...

For example: For Sat 1, 24 is the backup to 9, with 24 having at least two engines between them and 9 For Sat 2, 97 is the backup to 72, same deal For Sat 3, 330 backs up 284, they're fairly close but not sure whether they'd have first and second due boxes together For Sat 4, 291 backs up 324...

It is interesting that for Sat6, primary and secondary are two companies that run in first and second due together. It seems this is not the norm for the other Satellies, where the backup company seems to be typically located just outside the battalion where the primary is located. In FDNY where...

For example, in the links below, first or second due fires for E159 in SI, the backup engine, 152, was assigned for the SAT. https://www.nycfire.net/forums/threads/6-8-24-staten-island-10-75-box-2432.83209/#google_vignette...

Unless I'm missing something, the satellites do not turn out with their normal company on their own first, second, third, and fourth due boxes, no? In these cases, I believe the backup company becomes the satellite unit. I could be wrong but this was my understanding

Curious about the Satellite response. Does the SAT automatically go for calls in the Navy Yard? If so, how come 207 took it vs. the backup company? I assume 207 is normally second due here?

55 Carol Pl Bathroom Fire 3rd Floor, Per FireWire Maybe: E158, 166, 157, 163 L86, 80, 83F SQ8 R5 BN22, 21 D8 Rac5 E159T SAT5 0830: BN22, UC

It seems to me that Tac 2 goes to a lot of calls on SI where the Tac wouldn't normally be assigned. They've been on a few AH lately where D8 asked them to be put on the box. Just a guess, but guessing since it is a unique area and they're in with the 8th, the Division tells them to self assign...

Tac2 as well.

Guys, I understand that not everything is for general consumption. That said, when you're on a forum full of folks who are highly interested in all things FDNY, people are going to be curious about an unusual assignment. Nobody wants to see the FDNY cast in a bad light, or have someone's privacy...

What's the reason?

Division relocation, don't see that every day

They're allowed to respond to lower alarms at their discretion, seems to be fairly normal practice among the current group to respond to a heavily-involved second alarm / multiple injuries, etc

Is there any particular reason they won't assign South Brooklyn engines on a greater alarm in this area of North SI? Quick look at the maps suggests E242 and surrounding companies would be much faster into this than the far-out SI companies such as E164

Per FireWire, the address of 501 9th Ave off W38th St, for construction material which blew off a roof, causing a scaffold collapse. Maybe: E- 34, 26, 54 L- 4, 24 BN- 9, 7 D3 RS01 SQ18 RAC1 RB, SB, TAC1 Car 2C (Public Information) (Ladder 21 was OOS) Relocations: L25 act. L4 TL23 act. TL7 BN2...

On the topic of differences between rescues, I believe Rescue 5 does not carry a boat on its main rig, unlike all the other rescues. R5's boat is kept on the collapse rig. My understanding is this is because, unlike the other rescues, R5 is in quarters with Tac2, and therefore will use Tac2's...

Interesting, any specific examples?

Great info, thanks!
