Yes. I believe current dispatch policy dictates that an engine with an associated satellite cannot be assigned greater than 3rd or 4th due (again, depending on the unit). So, if you're E9 w/SAT1, you get all second alarms in lower and midtown Manhattan, but you miss calls like this where you'd...

Interesting example of the SAT engines not going past their third or fourth due boxes (I think whether it is 3rd or 4th depends on the unit). E9 here would be closer than both E24 and E33 but can't be assigned because they're a SAT.

If you read the rest of the DOs, you'll get the answer to most of your questions

I assume there was an HMTU assigned on this? SQ1 or E250?

I'm sorry but I think this is wildly off base. While I think we all agree that the Fire Commissioner and COD are "all-in" type positions where you are expected to be regularly available after hours, the notion that the FC or COD should be available 24/7/365 is silly. There is a common military...

SQ252 acting SQ41

A couple of questions. 1) am I reading this correctly that they're dropping down to 1 VSU in Manhattan yet 5 in BK and 4 in the Bronx? Or is that 1VSU + the 2 High Rises? Do the high rises have CPC? 2) When you say everyone or mostly everyone is trained and they're adding more CPC to the...

Ok but staff clearly would have access to a daily riding list of which chiefs are in which seats, no? Or is it about saving them the step of looking that up?

Does anybody know what the logic behind this is? Not looking for guesses - I'm looking to know if anybody knows the actual reason for the change. The change seems fine but I am curious what the difference is if someone says Squad 99 to Manhattan transmit a second alarm versus Squad 99 to...

PC notes: - Two columns buckled on the 21st floor, floors sagging - Additional movement observed since agencies arrived - Working with DOB engineers to come up with a plan - No injuries, everybody accounted for - 'Frozen' zone is 40th to 45th streets 1st to 3rd avenue, sounds like nobody...

You can hear SQ18 on the HT transmissions at the collapse box so I am guessing another squad (and rescue?) were assigned here.

Press conference about to go live:

L54 act. L7

Also possible that E44 was on the box as an engine. Obviously not at East 23rd St but these things often get called in with various addresses

I went on the Manhattan freq. around the time of the call thinking the same thing but didn't hear any activity. May have just missed it

L46F, not L45

Per Google Maps, 1h26min run for PK326

UC at 0947 by D3. D3 also reported one 10-45, I think I heard Code 1 but not certain on that part.
