I've run across a couple of people through the years who've lived on Roosevelt Island and they were satisfied with the firehouse there before I told them there was no staffed engine or ladder inside.
My father, a World War II Navy Veteran, taught me how to splice - at least three tucks for manila and at least five tucks for nylon.
Splices are stronger than knots.
According to the article, a total of 5 ladder companies responded to the Constellation Fire - a "staggering" total.
Nowadays there are usually at least 4 ladders on most All-Hands.
It used to be that a 10-77 was not mandated in a high rise MD, correct?
This is a perfect example that throws out any discretion by a company or chief officer.
