With the new policy of sending relocators to fires rather than using alarm assignment cards The 52’s unless on initial alarm or if a rapid second alarm is transmitted in nearby area, won’t be sent to many multiples. Once relocated company is in area and are closer to fire they will be sent. Many...

Unfortunately the borough radio isn’t all that’s monitored anymore, people listen to the fireground Handi Talkie communications and then put it out on social media. Recent serious and fatal injuries were out on social media before even the families were notified. Encryption of on scene...

Rest In Peace Rick condolences to your family 🙏🙏

Most likely to add length to pre connect lines if they come up short due to set backs or deeper structures

Ok some more Bronx, Kingsbridge Rd., Kingsbridge Terrace, Kingsbridge Ave., all very close to each other in that area of Bronx.
