By no means is this a comprehensive list but two additional assignments that come to mind arise from the 10-66, one BC gets assigned as the FF Locator Chief and one as the FAST Group Leader, I believe. Another: for rail incidents, one BC is assigned Transit Liaison Officer (TLO). This is...

In addition to MCC1 and MCC2, there is the Mobile Operations Centre (MOC) located at E207/L110, and the IMT Planning Vehicle, located at Engine 262. The IMT planning vehicle can be deployed outside of NY as a part of national deployments for the Incident Management Team and I believe is fairly...

A few thoughts on the Super Pumper. With respect, I don't understand the obsession with asking about SP1 on every big fire. This misses the point about the current unit's capabilities. From what I can tell, people are viewing the current SP through the same lens as the old SP even though there...

Per the promotional ceremony: DAC Brian Gorman promoted to AC, recently assigned as Manhattan Boro Commander. Joining the staff are: DAC Chris Ritchie, Chief of the Fire Academy DAC Joe Duggan, Brooklyn Boro Commander DAC Dave Simms, Staten Island Boro Commander DAC Joe Schiralli, Fire...

Ok, so if R2 can get to the Rockaways faster than R4, make it R2's response area and they won't have to leave their response area to get there. I cannot follow the logic of not sending the fastest unit - imagine telling someone "oh yes you badly need help but we're going to wait 5 or 10 extra...

Would you also say that 5 shouldn't come over to the 40/42/43 on the same principle?

Overheard an exchange on this call which I found hard to understand. I know there are a lot of dispatchers and current and retired members on here who could perhaps provide their thoughts. The exchange went like this: QNS to D13, R4 is still in Manhattan returning so we've assigned R2. D13 to...

All hands by D7, incident remains doubtful, searches continuing

Some units: BN27 D7 SQ61 SOC Dewatering SOC Logistics SOC Compressor TSU1 RB01

Assuming D7 not D14

While I understand individual company officers trying to defend their boxes, one would think the fastest unit should be the one assigned. Yes, it's a long run regardless of which rescue goes, but if something goes sideways at the fire or if it is a technical response where the rescue is going to...

They didn't eliminate the SSLs, just reduced the number

Male fell through a staircase BN39: 10-20, return all special units Maybe: E- 332, 236, 290 L- 175, 103 R2 w/ CR2 R4 SQ252 SQ1 BN39 RB, SB TAC2 CTU1 L132 SSL HM1, HMB E250 HMTU SOC Compressor, SOC Logistics

I know Google maps isn't perfect but interestingly at the moment it shows both R2 and R5 would be faster into Rockaway beach / Breezy point area than R4

Does Rescue 2 have any Queens boxes? If not, is there a good reason why not? Unless I'm missing something, looks like R2 is closer than R4 to basically all the Rockaways, no?

L142 VSU

A little back and forth on this one... D1 transmitted the AH but Manhattan advised they didn't have sufficient units to give an AH (1&1). I think they ended up holding with E5/L7 and the special units.
