What dictates giving an all hands on a arrival vs 10-75? Dont most if not all 1075s go to an all hands? Lets say im a 1st arriving company and have visible fire out a window or that obvious heavy black smoke pumping. Not necessarily in this case but alot of times on s.i. you hear the 75 by 1st units and the chief gives all hands while en route. Would it be beneficial for that 1st unit to give the all hands on arrival?

Its on the discretion of the officer or chief, but more often then not its left to the chief. The officer is typically going to be worried alot more about immediately getting to work, and not as much when it comes to incident command. Obviously if they have an insane amount of fire they may got with the all hands or the second alarm if they assume that more units will be needed
 
I hope the fine for a blocked hydrant is steep enough so that they never do it again, especially when there is a fire.

Well said: additionally, it seems that a common trigger now for all hands is the responding chief requesting an extra one and one, at which point the dispatcher prompts the chief that they're going with the all hands.
 
In this case TL-114 should have crushed the car on the hydrant with the Tl Tormentor. Again, it is unsafe to raise the boom and basket of any Tower Ladder without all tormentors and jacks FULLY extended and locked. It has happened and will happen again a Tower Ladder will tip over if the tormentor are not fully extended to the ground and locked into place. Tower Ladders are designed to have the body of the rig just off the ground, so all of the weight and the pressure of the boom and bucket movement is on the frame of the TL rig not just on the tires and wheels. Also
"Don't place the tormentors of a 68,000 or 70,000 LBS Tower Ladder on soil, grass, or anything else that will not hold the weight." Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired
