Any insight on what causes 4R to be staffed? One guess: lack of staff chiefs so a deputy acting as citywide for the 24? Or different type of situation?

Can't speak to the second part but it is very much on the public record that these two chiefs replaced two of the staff chiefs that were targeted by the former Commissioner. I won't use names out of respect for site policy, but one was the Chief of Fire Prevention who was knocked down two ranks...

There isn't a lot of detail in many of the media reports, but if you're interested in what is alleged, there is a lot more detail in the indictment, which can be found here: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/media/1368046/dl

I was wondering the same thing. Are we sure 3&2 responded? If perhaps there was only 2&2 on scene, it could be all units but not all hands, right?

Does anybody know the rules around Division relocations? As someone else mentioned, pretty rare to see a division relocated. Obviously the 14th is a huge geographic area so I can understand wanting that covered off, but obviously we don't see a relocation every time D14 goes to a multiple, so I...

D14 or D11?

What an embarrassingly slanted article. For example: - It says Kavanagh was "Well liked by most". What is the basis for this claim? - The article quotes Kavanagh at length and takes her word as fact without a single opposing view expressed. It wouldn't be very hard to find someone with a...

Fallback step 2

A vote of non confidence from the union would not remotely be enough to remove the fire commissioner.

D1: AVFKD, 2 L/S, using all hands.

To be frank, some of the guesses listed above are bizarre. It might be worthwhile for some folks to spend ten minutes researching the history and background of past appointments before pronouncing who the candidate should be. Note: most prior commissioners have not, in fact, been former Chiefs...

RB, SB?

Firefighting, staging manager, aerial reconnaissance

s/c a rescue for fire duty, something you don't see too often(?)

No, referring to "E-104 197 total with 53 EMS and 114 fire, and its truck company T-61 with 265 fire related and 101 EMS runs for a total of 36"

Any insight on why, for the slowest house, the truck would be doing more medicals than the engine? I don't know anything about how the CFD operates. Thanks

Ok, I guess I could have said "other than some extremely minor details", all squads get assigned the same way...

Here is a picture of the TRV. My understanding is before the other six squads were formed, SQ1 ran with the TRV as a second piece for both technical rescue and HAZMAT responses. I am not sure exactly what would trigger a response (certain signal or alarm level, etc). It also served as a backup...
