    2/20/25 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 3189

    That's a heck of a lot of fire showing. News media showed a large ball of fire mushrooming through the roof, probably at the collapse time. Unsealed windows were probably also contributory to fire spread to the exposures. how did this get so far out of hand

    I have a neighbor that was interested in filing; but neither he nor I could find anything in the N.O.E. regarding minimum/maximum age to file, or for retirement. Is it there somewhere and we both missed it?

    2/12/25 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 3160

    I have to wonder what was the more irresponsible act here. The vehicle owner who willfully parked at the hydrant, or the non-thinking traffic agency that booted the vehicle at the hydrant, making it more difficult and time consuming to remove the car in an emergency such as this. If she was...

    I'm sure that we all have watched videos of fires started or involving Li-Ion batteries. Those injured including the FD member were indeed lucky they didn't wind up in a burn center. Luckily, just 4 short blocks north, there was a Level 1 trauma center at New York Presbyterian..
