Da Bronx engines has impressive run numbers and alot of them compared to Brooklyn. I'm not trying to start bronx vs Brooklyn I'm just asking is because Brooklyn has more companies and can spread out the calls or is Da Bronx becoming that busy again. I also acknowledge that half the runs are...

While on topic number of companies in fdny. Does anyone know what was the highest amount for engine and truck companies before all the closing over the years.

When I lived in the bronx just off Auther Ave I was just kid but old enough to remember on any given day friends and I would have a game who could guess how many plumes of smoke there would be we would go hang out on the roof of the tenement we lived in and just waited which never took long at...

It seems like the politicians for NYC are setting up the city for repeat of the war years. people watching the news and see the crisis FDNY is facing and owners of property that are struggling could take this opportunity to sell their building to the insurance company. Could this possible it...

I know it's crazy how isolated city island is and I was thinking the same thing why the city can't close.

Does anyone know if E70/L53 on city island would ever become a volunteer company if the city decided to close that firehouse.

Everyone who replied to your question on why this done is accurate, but the main reason why it's done is to help prevent the IC from having tunnel vision especially at multiple alarm the the IC have alot of information coming to him and could become focused on just one of many scenarios he needs...

On YouTube the video of the Bronx 5 alarm pallet yard fire the satalite was there but not used it seemed like a perfect opportunity to use it at this fire but did not see it operating I'm not questioning FDNY tactics and I never will just wondering what determines when it needs to operate.

I have question about FDNY and helmet camera I tried searching for videos for FDNY firefighters with helmet cam and could not find any does this mean FDNY does not allow it to be worn or the firefighters just don't have time to worry about one more thing to keep track of. I'm sure if it's...

I'm not a member of FDNY but a firefighter never the less. Fdny has the best firehouse humor and I would like to add a story from my department. We have a firefighter that takes anything we throw at him and he returns it with interest. The one thing everyone from the house knows about him is...
