The DRB was for Battalion Chief to respond at his discretion, it was only 1 Engine or 1 Ladder depending on month. If I remember Engines did 2 months trucks did 1 and so on. if a second source came in dispatcher would fill out the assignment and notify the responding unit of additional...

All Engines in area near city line have fittings and adapters for that county, with additional left in firehouse for relocators and such. Yonkers units have similar to use the NYC hydrants if advantageous to operation.

No need to special call Yonkers, all units on the border have adapters for the Yonkers system.

Difficult area for brush, you actually use Yonkers hydrant on north end of service to fill up boosters and then they respond back south to east 233rd and head north on service road to return to fire area. Usually three or four pumpers used depending on volume of fire, hook up line use up water...

L-52 in long term spare, 2017 regular rig was totaled after accident on Henry Hudson Parkway.

This went straight to a 2nd alarm with no all hands transmitted most likely reason the extra 1&1 wasn’t sent.
