Re: ADC, agree with all of the above, well stated by @NikFDNY. One example of this was the Twin Parks fire in the Bronx. That call had an ADC in the division and he remained in place throughout

80 N Moore St off Greenwich, Report of Smoke in a High Rise. 39 STY MD D1 gave the AH/UC for a compactor fire Some Units: E7, E24, E6 L8, L5, L1 B1 D1 Updates: MD to BN1: we're getting a bunch of apartments for smoke, sending to your MDT, L1 became available, we're giving you 3&3. Report of a...

Someone else may know all the criteria but as a starting point I believe anybody (BC or FF) in any of those units (RB, MB, HB, SB) have to be HAZMAT Level 2 trained. Not sure where they get their extra manpower when vacancies arise.

Thanks. Can they take any of the other pre-designations? RUL, SAM, ARC, etc? Or is the basic principle that ABCs are generally only used for fire duty?

A further question on this: aside from the fact an ABC gets relieved by a BC as incident commander, what other positions is the ABC restricted from? On a second alarm, I believe ABCs are not allowed to be assigned safety, correct? Am I also correct to say they don't use ABCs in the SOC...

Still active as of this morning, hearing RRVs on the boro frequencies.

That's what it says, yep

Definitely Brooklyn. If you look at the number of AH jobs as a proxy: fires for the 40, 42, and 43, exceed that of the 21, 22, and 23 - plus D8 I think has some other BK boxes, for example with the 33, plus they would venture further into Brooklyn if the 11th or 15th is unavailable.

Regarding the squad / rescue run totals, I did a bit of analysis on this using the 2024 runs and workers. In FDNY as a whole, 48% of engine company runs are medical calls. Zero percent, or something close to zero percent, of rescue company runs are medical calls. If you assume that the squads...

Believe they changed it a couple of times - they didn't, then they did, now they don't again

What's this reduced response pilot?

I see what all of you are saying, I guess I just have a different view. If the department stops at a fifth, and the fifth is deemed the highest severity of fire, I don't think there is any loss when communicating to the public. In fact, I think it might be more impactful to say "In X year, FDNY...

Back when they had 8th alarms did that stop the city from closing companies? No? I agree the department shouldn't under-report its work. But I don't see how stopping at a fifth with special calls under-plays anything.

Capt, if I can offer a contrary view: the Deputy Mayor, head of OEM, Fire Commissioner, and several staff chiefs were on scene, and the fire was all over the news and on social media. Who is being kept in the dark?

156 must have got in there somewhere as they have a relocator. Extra T on the AH maybe?

Thanks. Fire right next door a month ago I see: https://nycfire.net/forums/threads/12-24-25-brooklyn-10-75-box-3699.91675/

If you watch the video of the fire with radio traffic, a mayday was given for L51 can who was found on the floor below shortly after.
