Chief a few years back they changed the whole house going together, the only time they go together is for an actual response. Eliminates relocating units to unfamiliar areas and leaving one unit back to ensure some coverage in area. Same thing now on New Year’s Eve for Times Square and other...

Since the outdoor eating has been allowed restaurants have been using outdoor propane heaters and this is an example of a new business person illegally storing propane cylinders and I’m sure selling them and refilling for many area restaurants since you cannot get propane in NYC legally. Outer...

Since many of the older firehouses have undergone renovations space on apparatus floor was used for handicap accessible facilities, kitchen extensions in smaller houses and general storage areas. We used to store a reserve pumper in quarters but after renovations it wouldn’t fit back in...

That rig is not a true quint, it certainly doesn’t have enough ground ladders required plus not sure if that ladder meets minimum length to be considered. I assume the pumps and booster tank plus hose beds are good for minimum standard.

Tower Ladder Siamese inlets are 3” and that’s what hose is stretched when supplying, the 3 1/2 hose in FDNY has 3” fittings. An increaser from 2 1/2 to 3” would be needed in event of 2 1/2 line being used. You can add the second line to the Siamese if needed for whatever reason but usually one 3...

Happy Birthday Dan 🎂🎉

Congratulations Jimmy on your well earned retirement

The new seagraves have started replacing the 2008 pumpers and as they come in they will continue to replace the 2008 and move into 2009 year. Not sure of what total number was in this contract.

There is no official policy that I am aware of, that being said they 52’s are the most northern company in the Bronx so if they do send them the entire area from Fordham Road with Sedgwick Ave up to city line has no fire protection until a relocation gets up there. So it’s is easier to just send...

Rundown shows L52 on the 4th alarm

Used to do escort duty with propane truck to rock when the burn building needed refill of propane, I’m sure this vehicle wasn’t placarded and as stated making drops at places using propane for outdoor heaters. I think propane is illegal to transport in the city. I know you cannot refill 20lbs...
