14:50 D11 per FC reports 4TL in operation, conditions unchanged, doubtful

18 was definitely FAST as they gave that over the air, not sure if they may have been coming off another run. As for the engines I went off of Signal's feedback plus there was a previous 404 box where 33/9 were indeed second due.

Thanks, lots of calls going out. How does that work, does Manhattan give it to the MCC then MCC has strike teams (or something similar deployed)? It seems all calls in the area are going to the MCC, but for the remainder of Manhattan they're dispatching as normal.

Hearing MCC1 on the Manhattan Freq. this morning taking calls. Does FDNY have a detail set up for some reason? If so, why? Anybody know what it consists of?

Just my opinion, but time to reevaluate this system where certain units get assigned because it is their boro without regard to response times. E284 with SAT3 was closer than 324 to begin with but 324 has gets assigned because they're the Queens unit. Similarly Engine 250 would be much closer...

SQ61 would beat SQ288 here by a long shot.

Lol... "44 to the Bronx" ... "44 to the Bronx" ... "44 to the Bronx" ... "44 yeah I got you just give me a second we'll get you in I promise"

If I overheard correctly, just after they took up they got a stuck elevator here and then a report of smoke in the hallway so the box was re-transmitted. Don't think it turned into much

Legendary Lieutenant Mickey Conboy of Rescue 3 retired this week. All the best

Does this actually happen though? Seems like ARC is almost always cancelled now, plus there's a second CTU to fill that gap

To your point on the fact ARC was established before drones, I wonder if at some point they look at changing the ARC response policy. They could either move it up the alarm card from the 3rd to the 4th or 5th or perhaps make it special call only. It seems they're rarely used now with the drones...

What's a 10-74? (I say in jest and appreciate all your work, signal)

169 in the mix somewhere per the pic above, not listed in the rundown. Relocated then in as an extra truck maybe?

Agree with this from the perspective of "if you have it and you may need it, send it" ... but additionally, if you look at all the bases that need to be covered at a major fire (whether from the perspective of ICS or other similar command methods), there actually aren't that many superfluous...

What happened to Squads only relocating to Squads?

I think it's a seniority thing - they assign 421 and 422 (when needed) to deputies who have time in rank. Now, you may argue that doesn't matter, but I think that's the logic. Furthermore, if you don't like the concept of 421 you probably don't like the concept of the citywide tour commander...

But why didn't they call the super pumper?
