Is it not fair for a reader to ask why the Queens Boro would respond to a box in the Bronx? To the best of my knowledge, there is in fact a good reason, which is: the likeliest thing is that Car 9 had the citywide and chose to respond, which they can do at their discretion

Per the press conference, one FF and one BC transported to hospital, BC had shortness of breath, FF had a fall while taking up equipment, both stable, undergoing some precautionary tests and expected to be released today. Good news

Since I know there has been some back and forth regarding the rules on naming chiefs on this site, I'll just say that if you watch GSE Ep. 155, around the 44:40 mark, you may get your answer Congratulations to Chief Esposito

A couple of questions on the assignment, I thought the 10-66 brought the major matrix, in which case there should be a second rescue and squad, right? Also BCs as FF locator and FAST group supervisor? Or did this stuff change with the recent revisions to the 10-66?

Yes I am aware, however, I believe most squads are now carrying small overpack drums with cell block on their first piece due to the increase in LI battery fires.

Oops missed that - post removed

Per the Skyler Video, add C11B to the assignment as well (Chief of HAZMAT Operations)

Always lots of questions about the super pumper at every big fire. I think people need to shift their view on this, for a couple of reasons. First, the new super pumper (though it does have a large pump) would be better thought of as a foam pumper. If you're asking to see it at every large fire...

Shouldn't there be an HMTU on this with HAZMAT assigned? 270 3rd due, 288 as the squad... 274 HMTU? Or was 288 assigned as the HMTU and no squad assigned since the 50 said no additional units?

288?

Congratulations to Joe Ferrante, Queens Borough Commander, and Joe LaPointe, ceremonial unit commander, on their retirements. Two 40+ year members who made a big impact! https://www.nyc.gov/site/fdny/news/Y90225/fdny-fire-operations-members-promoted-ceremony-queens

You may be thinking of the fact Hatton was married to an aide of the Mayor and was reportedly very close to him. Of course, nobody would question that Hatton was qualified for the role. My understanding is the FC would be kept abreast of any prominent assignment such as Rescue Captain, but...

Missing rescue on the rundown

0430, should likely say "probably will hold" and "release rescue and squad". There is no such term as "rescue squad" in the FDNY, they're separate units.

E44 would be the HMTU

305 E95th off 2nd AVE Some units: BN10 First due BN11 AH chief BN12 FF duty BN8 RUL BN9 SO E9T SAT1

Yes, back to normal now. Thanks!

Not a big issue but I noticed in the 'latest posts' column every thread now has "Thread" in front of it, which wasn't the case before. Thanks for all you do

I believe that their recently-released strategic plan said something to the effect of all incoming probies will be paramedics or EMTs and will in the future maintain that credential on the fire side. If I am correct on that, your suggestion will take care of itself eventually
