I think that's right. The way I understand it is that the signals are a request for resources, nothing more, nothing less

PWH by Car 4 @ 1718hrs.

I think that's right. On the rundown above, SQ61 is second due on the first alarm, so SQ41 would be responding in as the squad on the first alarm, then SQ288 as the HMTU on the 10-86 I think. Which is an interesting pick - according to the map I'm looking at, E274 would be much closer as a HMTU...

I presume CTU can be added to the assignment given the use of drones 11:52 D7: still opening up pockets of fire, down to one hand line

I was monitoring the air early this morning and heard a number of units relocating to SI. Sounds like they loaded up the Island ahead of time.

Building on the captain's post above, here is some additional context on the 10-66 signal which may be of interest. The 10-66 signal was developed in the 2000s following numerous fatal fires. The link below features Deputy Chief (ret.) Jon Malkin of Division 14, who was the initial IC at the...

Out of curiosity, does anybody know what the staffing is at SOC Island? Off the top of my head: - RB (2) - CTU (4) - TAC1 (1) - SOC Compressor (1) Is there more? Do SOC Logistics and the Dewatering Unit have dedicated staff?

SI Rocking and Rolling this week Also, what happened to the policy that squads only relocate to squads? Has that changed?

Promotional ceremony today:

Someone on here will certainly know more, but I think the FC Battalion has been disbanded as a staffed unit. Used to be assigned on the second alarm but I haven't seen that happen in a long time. Of note, the SFAD for Field Comm and the FC Batt would be different things - SFAD is someone with...

Time of day/week maybe a factor?

E79 / L19 on the AH

Even if R2 was unavailable, wouldn't R5 be second in the order here? Long run for R1?

I am curious about some of the details of the designation to a/CWTC. For example, are these deputies remaining deputies who simply act in the role as needed, or are they being promoted to staff? Thinking out loud: this brings to mind one of the former iterations of how the operations staff was...

Yes, although that was after he had gone through the ranks up to becoming Chief of Department, so in my mind that makes his situation not exactly comparable to a BC becoming 1st Deputy. Not that I have any issue with the appointment, I just don't think they're comparable

Great, thanks for the info. So when 4R is staffed is that typically done by a deputy who gets called in to do citywide? I assume all the rest of the staff chiefs have their own car numbers. I understand how 421 and 422 work just curious the difference between 4R and 421/422 in terms of who...
