Begs the question then why not send the SAT to all fires citywide? Or why not send two SATs? Or ten?

Got it, thanks. I was looking at a box from this area where SQ41 was third due but that was 5+ years ago being the most recent one I could find. Still leaves open the question of where 61 was as I assume they'd be way ahead of 18 even in the south BX

Is it SQ41 and 18 on the matrix or SQ61 and 18? SQ41 3rd due as an engine here aren't they?

L110 s/c as an extra truck above L104 Extra BC s/c as well, BN28 E226 act. E216

The response areas should be based on who is closest, not administrative responsibility. There's all kinds of battalion areas where one BN in administratively responsible and another BN is first due on the ticket

Thanks. Kind of interesting - this is an 8th Division box with R2. D8 in quarters with R5 - and D15 is closer to the box than R2. Hard to follow why it would be D8/R2 and not D8/R5 or D15/R2. Thoughts?

Is this a R2 box or R5?

not FF locators, it means theyre assigned for fire duty as opposed to IC, RUL, SO, etc

That's not what I heard - initially, 22 was told to go 10-08 as 53 became available, but then 53 told Manhattan to put them back on their original box. Are you sure?

2006 2nd Ave between East 103 and East 104, reported to be a fire in a deli L43 gave the 10-75, fire in a four storey CIDS: 25x60 CL3 MD, OLT, 2 apartments per floor, front fire escape, no rear fire escape, aerial for roof access, no bulkhead Rundown: E53, E91, E58, E22, E44AH L43, L26, L13F...

Respectfully, I see where you're both coming from, but neither of these are good answers. At some point, someone, maybe an FF, will urgently need help in Broad Channel - how can the FD defend not sending the closest available resources? No reason R2 couldn't respond here among the other 'few...

I get that R4 currently has all of QNS but when you look at the maps this certainly looks to me like it should be an R2 box. Similar to how R5 got some boxes from R2, it seems like R2 should be taking some of R4's boxes particularly after the move Eastward.

If you look back at the last few 10-66s, I don't think that's the case. But I see Signal's reply that it is due to the 10-66 code 1. The previous calls I was looking at were 10-66 no code.

Second Deputy on the 10-66, I think that is new?

The SOC relocation policy as of late seems to be to get one unit in to the boro, with the most common relocation being squad to squad. I do not recall any incident recently where they relocated two squads in to the boro. Sometimes the SOC relocation requirement may be satisfied but they still...

Some additions to the rundown: BN54 assigned Fast Group Supervisor BN37 assigned FF Locator Officer L116T CR 4 R3, SQ270 E291 CFR Car 9 L173 second FAST truck No ARC on the 3rd due to weather

Do we know why that is?

When an actor goes into the job, they don't relieve the company they were acting for, no. Both operating but either could be released

Not sure how much justification there would be for that given that most of the (great) work they do is rescue operations in seasonal tourist areas. In any event if we're talking about big fires the small boats don't have big capacity, they're mainly useful for accessing remote areas with water

Ok, got it. So, how would it have made an impact on this incident? I'm not sold on that either. In the past, I can see how a 10,000gpm super pumper in a department with 1,000gpm engines would make an impact. Now, with 2,000gpm engines, I don't see how a 5,000gpm engine makes a huge difference...
