Is 251 a 5 man engine?

With regards to Roosevelt Island, does FDNY send an assignment any time the lift bridge is up? It really is surprising that there isn't an engine company quartered on the island with the amount of inhabitants there are. Looking at 260 run numbers, they are consistently busier than any of the...

I don't know what Hazle Twp is like now, but I can say that 5 or so years ago when I spent some time there, they always had crews in quarters and usually were out the door on dispatch with an engine and a truck (tower).

Surprised this only got an ambo from Claymont. I thought NCC, DE sent multiple units on boxes in Marcus Hook.

Truly amazing how much the area changed in the late 90's. I started working down there in 95 and we were in squatter buildings daily. By 97 everything was transformed and young women were walking their dogs in Tompkins Square Park.

I knew about the make up of the area with rear tenements and projects along with OLT and NLT. I worked in the area as a paramedic in the 90's and early 2000's. At the time I worked there I did not realize that E5 St had burned down and was rebuilt with those 3 story rows. I thought they had...

It's been a while since I was in Alphabet City. Were there 5 and 6 story tenements where the 3 story brick row houses are? Did they all burn in the 70's and 80's?

First due box for R2?

Wow! 141 failed to respond? They're one of the most squared away departments in that area. Surprised to see they failed on a first due fire.

Are their respective 89's changed to the Rescue company's firehouse and they respond when the rescue responds?

Thanks. Did the gamewell system print out a tape the dispatcher could refer to or was it all counting the box coming in?

Does 5 box circuits running simultaneously mean 5 boxes out at the same exact time across the city?

Surprised 240 is so far down in the run down. I thought they'd be 3rd or 4th due, but I guess again being stuck in between the cemetery and the park bumps them.

291 must have been out too

Does an oil fire in a hole at Port Mobile not get the HazMat matrix at least started that way?

Indiana Pl is almost as small as Indiana Ave in 286/135 first due.

I know that's what they do regularly. I worked EMS in that area for quite a few years. My question was about what the computer generated responses recognized as the closest units.

Hopefully not too much damage to Matsons. One of my favorite delis in the neighborhood.

Are these buildings accessed off the platform or a separate set of stairs from the street? It's hard to tell from the pics and video but the building doesn't appear to be attached to the platform.

Is the line between Queens and Nassau at 246 st?
