3rd alarm engines are 332, 286, 217, 237

Earlier today, a third alarm was transmitted in Brooklyn at the same time as a second alarm was occurring in Manhattan. This leads me to ask about any redundancy protocols that are in place for city-wide type units when multiple multiple alarm incidents occur at once. I've done a bit of research...

284 relocated somewhere, just heard them heading back to BK.

Thanks for the info Skyler. In the case of the 47, how does that work, do you know? Was the 47 just a battalion that happened to be vacant to they put the surplus deputy in the BC spot? Or is the deputy riding surplus to the BC?

According to various apparatus websites, this is assigned to the Fleet Services Division as a "Prime Mover" (unit #KM16001). That said, it might be multi purpose as you can see it was used for SOC training here: According to those same apparatus website lists, SOC also has or used to have a...

As luck would have it, I was listening to a podcast yesterday involving DAC John Norman (Ret.). The interviewer asked about periods of busy fire duty, and Chief Norman relayed that in November of 1989, when he was in Rescue 2, Brooklyn had a span of 31 multiple alarms in 21 days, including "12...
