    2/12/25 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 3160

    I have to wonder what was the more irresponsible act here. The vehicle owner who willfully parked at the hydrant, or the non-thinking traffic agency that booted the vehicle at the hydrant, making it more difficult and time consuming to remove the car in an emergency such as this. If she was...

    2/12/25 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 3160

    Seeing an increasing number of hydrant parkers in the Greater Flushing area, with the many asians moving into the area, The problem is also blocking the hydrant from view to companies unfamiliar with the area (relocators etc.) who could drive right past a serviceable hydrant because it remains...

    1/29/2025 Washington DC Plane in the Water

    It probably won't be verified until the helo is raised from the river; but could the crew have been wearing night vision appliances, and if so, are they monochromatic? Could this cause any confusion by aircraft lights blending with street lights etc. through those goggles, making the...

    1/29/2025 Washington DC Plane in the Water

    AA Commercial flight was below 400 ft. and clearly had the right-of-way in final approach airspace; could not see the Blackhawk approaching from behind..

    1/25/25 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 0155

    Thanks Jack, wasn't sure since the aerial view didn't show a hose tower. I guess back then, most engines had hose drying racks on the side wall like E.213 had.

    Thank you! While on the topic of old Brooklyn Engines, I couldn't find anywhere an active or disbanded Engine company that used to be qtrd. in the 1950's on Taaffe Place. I think they were somewhere behind the E.P.A. building on Flushing Ave.

    1/25/25 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 0155

    Just 3 short blocks north of E213's qtrs.. I guess E251 was still in Hooper St. with 211; otherwise it's along run from 254th St in Glen Oaks Queens Gone from that assignment from Brooklyn today are 213, BC36, 212, 215, 251, 209

    1/25/25 Brooklyn 4th Alarm Box 0155

    It's amazing that in the opening of the video it showed fire out the Exp. 3 windows, and in a matter of 35 seconds, it blew out the front windows - almost as if an accelerant was used. I would presume that each window represented a room..... interesting.

    I'm sure that we all have watched videos of fires started or involving Li-Ion batteries. Those injured including the FD member were indeed lucky they didn't wind up in a burn center. Luckily, just 4 short blocks north, there was a Level 1 trauma center at New York Presbyterian..

    I remember it closed at least 11 years ago due to shrinking Catholic enrollment, and religious demographics in the neighborhood did a radical change.. Haven't been there in a while, but I heard the city was trying to negotiate the building into a public middle school.
