If that "garage" was only 10x10, it was either a shed or just big enough for a Yugo or a Smart car. I can remember when fully involved garages needed 1+2 at the most to extinguish.

I would have thought L48 would have been higher in the pecking order; and no E94?

Its strange how, with all the 2400 boxes in the Bronx, 2418 and 2419 don't exist.

Some good points, but realistically for row frames such as these, I would think it would be more prudent and efficient in this case to have a line on the top floor of the exposures and have the ceilings pulled to expose the fire in the cockloft, getting ahead of the fire.. No need to go...

I can remember 65 years ago, 2 men on the backstep and one in the hose bed were able to reload about 8 lengths of 3" hose. Now, it takes up to 2 DOZEN men to reload 6 lengths of 1 3/4" and 5 lengths of 2 1/2".....just sayin' :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

I like how the jerk with the phone has no idea what he's videoing - and stands right in front of the person shooting this video - who could have easily stepped aside and got that guy out of the picture. Can't make this stuff up o_O:rolleyes:

More like a BIG donor to the Democratic Party - and Eric Adams. This is a "thank you" position, nothing to do with ability to run the Dept..

The city removed all the telephone booths years ago......just sayin'

When you read the extent of that mutual aid, it looks more like a boro call than a 2nd!

Was there another box out previously? I believe E315/L125 normally 2nd due. We had a 5th alarm there about 35 years ago around Christmas night, Briar Wyck Apartments, owned at the time by Freddy Trump. Fire started in a central core 5th floor kitchen, spread to 6th floor and mushroomed...

According to Bldg. records, it appeared to be a vacant commercial property.

If Exp. 2 and 4 are alleyways, what the heck are the buildings beyond those points = Exp. 2A and 4A?? There has to be a education program somewhere for people who talk on radios. Without a map to reference, how does a staff chief follow the operation from his office with such inaccurate...

So, does that in a way, convert the back to a simplex system? TX and RX on the same frequency?

Any updates, or did this wind up like the Eng.94 debacle about 50 years ago - and NO PD available (or BFI either) to respond, in the entire PD division?!!

Was 94 - 48 - B03 out on another box?

I'm retired over 15 years, had literally hundreds of compactor fires in thre Bronx and Queens. I can't recall using typically more than 1 + 2. A standpipe line to the chute, 1 truck to the chute-clear the blockage, compactor room and roof vent. The other truck to search for possible victims of...

Seems a little ridiculous to have 6 + 7 and still call it a first alarm. Just sayin' And then, 4 + 5 on the second !

Looks like those canopies didn't fall by themselves. With all those nice clean brand new white helmets walking around, one of them should have either cleared the area, or told the T/L to hold up because there's men operating underneath you. Five members caught underneath are very lucky that...

Was E71 s/c on the All Hands, or assigned on the 3-3?

Channel 7 chopper was overhead as first units arrived. Fire was boiling out of the shaft between Exp.1 and 4, but not much smoke showing from 2nd floor front windows. What I couldn't understand (watching on TV) was the OV was in the bucket by himself venting, but couldn't he have initially put...
