Hearing FC on this box, not sure why

Yes. In February 2023, when it was being reported that virtually the whole staff was resigning or requesting demotions, these two were two of three staff chiefs who got promoted. At the time it was also widely reported that the Kavanaugh regime couldn't get any deputies to accept a promotion to...

According to various apparatus websites, this is assigned to the Fleet Services Division as a "Prime Mover" (unit #KM16001). That said, it might be multi purpose as you can see it was used for SOC training here: According to those same apparatus website lists, SOC also has or used to have a...

As luck would have it, I was listening to a podcast yesterday involving DAC John Norman (Ret.). The interviewer asked about periods of busy fire duty, and Chief Norman relayed that in November of 1989, when he was in Rescue 2, Brooklyn had a span of 31 multiple alarms in 21 days, including "12...

Setting aside the rank issue, does anybody know why all of a sudden 13R is responding to (apparently) all multiple alarms?

Is it possible to use 3&2 without giving AH?

There were more battalions (and divisions) back then, not fewer

Just out of curiosity I mapped this response for SQ252, and at the time of the call, maps was showing SQ1, SQ288, and SQ18 all substantially faster

No, F, H, R, T, etc.

Yes, 6am to 7pm, see above. Out of curiosity, do you know what the abbreviations are for each BC in the list? I assume this is to signify some sort of training / qualification?

Interesting, thanks for the info. A couple of followup questions: 1) Does anybody know the last time a rescue was relocated? What you're saying makes sense, but the last few 10-60s or similar incidents where two rescues would be assigned it doesn't seem like a rescue was relocated. Perhaps it...

Per FireWire, 29 Hopkins Ave for a man vs. machine, finger caught in a machine BN23: turn around SB, RB, Tac, Squad BN23: using E165, L85 and R5 for an aided with a finger trapped. Partial assignment: E165 L85 BN23 R5 SQ8 TAC2 RB, SB

Out of curiosity, does anybody have up to date information on current SOC relocation policies? I know this has been discussed on this site above, but I am curious about the current state of this policy as I know some changes were made, i.e. squads only relocating to squads now. Here are a few...

You're missing his point, which is about terminology. Recommending an 18 is one thing, "dropping down" is another and implies you were using more than that

R4 was on the way to a pin job on the Throgs Neck Bridge when this came in, redirected into the job, BN20 advises no rescue required at the pin Also, normally assigned first-due L162 (I think?) relocated to Bronx 4th alarm

Fallback Step 3. Busy times in the Bronx... in addition to the 4th, a 2&2 nearby and another phone alarm for a fire incoming among numerous other calls

Sounds like it'll still be going when they get there. Lol

Earlier on, there was a dewatering operation in the 11th Battalion. They were using a Tac (I assume Tac 1) and other units for dewatering equipment, sounded like it could be a while, so my guess is Tac 2 was heading to this via Manhattan

Big couple of days for fire duty! Some notes: E263 COMM BN26 SAM BN49 act. BN27 L144 act. L33, into the job s/c above the 4th L102 act. ? L47 act. L56, into the job, s/c above the 4th

On the topic of borough commands, someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the 8th Division parts of Brooklyn (BNs 40, 42, and 43) report up to the SI Boro commander, not the BK Boro commander, because they're in the 8th, and the 8th reports to SI, and alternatively you'd have the BK...
