The short answer is no. Fire operations are the purview of the Chief of Department and those under his command. While I am sure there may be the occasional conversation between a COD and a Commissioner in cases where the Commissioner had fire experience (some do, some don't), the Commissioner's...

There has been a big difference from commissioner to commissioner in terms of how often they respond. From what I recall, Nigro responded to most larger incidents (5th alarm fires or major technical incidents). Kavanaugh did not respond often. Tucker on the other hand responded more than the...

Not to nitpick but also L153 on the 1st and 2nd alarm

What are the regulations around the dispatchers giving signals, does anybody know? Obviously BK giving a 10-75 is rare, though understandable in the circumstances. Could they give a second alarm? Are there any rules around this?

Four. 3FF, one Officer

Tac 2 and CTU 2 on this. There was something about an unsafe structure came in in Queens around the time the 2-2 was transmitted here, so RB and SB were not on the initial assignment, they went 10-8 to take this in, so maybe CTU1 and TAC1 were on that other call as well.

Lol... strategic route selection back to quarters by 103 got them into the job A few relocations from this and the other job: SQ61 act 288 297 act 289 304 act 303 311 act 308 91 act ? 71 act ? 150 act 136 176 act 143 42 act 154 BN10 act 46

I think even if you're acting you take the car number

Unless assignments recently changed, the DAC shown in the video is the Chief of the Academy, which would be 15A not 4C

Seems pretty clear here and elsewhere that he was the Chief of EMS https://www.nyc.gov/site/fdny/news/ma0122/after-decades-service-new-yorkers-fire-commissioner-daniel-a-nigro-retirement#/0

Of note, ex-commissioner and COD Nigro was on a transition panel for Mandani and in some public comments recently seemed to suggest he would be making a recommendation to the Mayor on who the next FC would be. Bonsignore was on the executive staff when Nigro was FC, and he was the first-ever...

Based on the list above, all the HP engines are either in Lower Manhattan or Western Brooklyn such that they're proximate to Lower Manhattan. Someone can correct me but I think a HP/3-stage pump would really only be required on very tall buildings, and the regular engine would be able to handle...

Sounds like it went UC pretty quickly, I believe MB just said they're tied up and FD no longer required, all units 10-8 @ 0940

A couple of questions, 1) is 252 normally assigned here ahead of 270? 2) is there some sort of a requirement for a high pressure pumper on multiples on the Rockaways?

Correct

My understanding is the 2" hose is not an experiment but rather now standard issue as the lead length in the residential high rise hose pack configuration, per the engine operations manual.

How many times must it be explained that the super pumper is essentially a HAZMAT/foam resource and not a necessarily a "big fire" resource in the same way the previous version was? Fine to say it was a waste of money or whatever but do not act surprised that it hasn't been assigned to every 5th...

While taxpayers can be two-storey, I don't think it is correct if the implication is that they are most commonly two storey.
