7/5/26 Bronx Box ???? Water Rescue
Ignorant people, uneducated about anything to do with boats, with zero respect for the water, who just think it's all about a good time while being a burden for the people who are out there and being respectful - buy a boat, get totally bombed, invite 25 people on their boat, overload the... -

7/7/26 Manhattan All Hands Box 650
How many CPC Units do you think they would've had to call to get one that didn't have a dead battery? Tomorrow the directive will come down that everyone has to start and run their CPC rig to make sure it is working, bank on it. -

2/16/26 Manhattan 10-43 Code 4 Box 8780
There are some agencies nationwide where you are charged for the rescue if you did something illegal or negligent to end up in the scenario that you needed rescue. I wish the FDNY could've done the same here. NOT that the FDNY wouldn't respond or perform to the highest traditions, they would... -

There is reimbursement for mutual aid. There is a mutual aid agreement that is agreed upon between all departments and set in force by New York State. It is done with input from and with the best of intentions by all departments, and it is facilitated by the NYS Division of Homeland Security... -

Well said. Additionally- Specter328 should take note that what you stated - "One last thing worth noting is that most if not all department's involved yesterday recalled off-duty personnel to man reserve apparatus". The "large scale" mutual aid Westchester/FDNY drill has not been held in a few... -

No one said it can't be done by the FDNY - It is done, just not often. A (Westchester) union would care because contractually their members are entitled to overtime to man additional units to fight these fires and backfill units. You also said having the closest units responding is important... -

11/23/25 Bronx Mutual Aide Box 6300
MVFD Chief asked FDNY for a 95' TL. FDNY policy is to send 2 engines to feed the TL and send their own FAST truck, as well as a BC - a total response of 2E, 2L & 1BC. When MVFD was told this, they declined the mutual aid. That's what happened. No animosity, no big brother/little brother, no... -

It's not as simple as everyone thinks it is. There are many facets to mutual aid. It's not just FDNY shows up and goes to work. There are financial implications. Insurance issues - FDNY member gets hurt outside city - outside city covers medical expenses. Westchester FD unions have contracts... -
