    5/7/23 Manhattan All Hands Box 1775

    What will it take for the Mayor, Fire Commissioner and City Council to act? They are coddling to groups, many illegal immigrants, that use these bikes - mostly illegally by the way - throughout the city. This is a political football and disgusting. I still believe the lithium ion battery that...

    Maps - Bronx Battalions (Admin Areas)

    The reason the 27 Battalion's (yellow) map that is listed above is split in two, is that 81/46's admin area is between 52/52's and 79/37's - and 81/46 are in the 19th battalion.

    Maps - Bronx Battalions (Admin Areas)

    These maps with the yellow are all administrative battalion maps and are kind of useless outside of determining Building Inspection and administrative issues. The one Skyler posted is a response area map.

    2/24/23 Bronx 10-75 Box 3288

    The newly installed smart detectors by ConEd have already activated a few times for fires. The detectors pick up the chemicals in smoke and go off as a "10% of LEL" for natural gas. But the reality is, is that it's actually a job. This has happened at least 5 times that I know of, and this is...

    9/13/22 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 3358

    I was told - FDNY shut the electric. ConED came to the scene and turned the electric back on. Some arcing was noticed, and units were called back to find fire in the walls, started from the electric wiring. Not a rekindle. Seems like ConED wanted to get the power back on a little...

    FDNY and bordering suburbs

    Bronx companies now have "6000" boxes which are a "dual response with Pelham Manor FD" and are announced as such. Very nice area with very very few calls for anything up there. Also probably still on the books is Box 8999, which was/is a dual response with Yonkers - the Bx River Pkwy @ the...

    Volunteers

    Both unions - UFA and UFOA clearly stand with the principle that no member should be volunteering in a city/district where there are paid firefighters. Basically, you are taking away from the hiring of professional firefighters by volunteering. Both unions feel that these fellow union members...

    2/21/22 Bronx 2nd Alarm Box 4329

    From what I heard the new "FireCAD" recommends the closest companies - if a relocator is 10-8 in an operating unit's area, it will suggest them to the box if it progresses in alarms, unlike the way StarFire used to do it. Also heard the upper staff of the FDNY is on board with getting the...
