Why were there so many Engines (17 engines) assigned on the 4th alarm which weren't special called? Did the 4th alarm just add a 3rd, 4th alarm and 10-66 assignment's worth of engines onto the job?
 
Once again if it Quacks like a Duck and Walks like a Duck then it most likely IS a Duck. The idea of adding so many units to an incident and not transmitting the next alarm or alarms is suspect. This is clearly a way of keeping the public and perhaps the city council, in the dark about the very real fire problems in NYC. This fire was a 7th alarm + no matter what they called it.

It looks like it they went from a second to a 4th on top of the 10-66

Capt, if I can offer a contrary view: the Deputy Mayor, head of OEM, Fire Commissioner, and several staff chiefs were on scene, and the fire was all over the news and on social media. Who is being kept in the dark?
 
When I was a covering Lieutenant and working teaching at Proby School in the mid 1980; s. I left the Rock = FDNY Fire Academy, on my way home and I Buffed an Explosion in a in a midrise Multiple Dwelling in Manhattan just off the Harlem River/FDR Drive and just north of the Manhattan exit off the Triborough (Now R.F.K.) bridge. There were multiple injuries and the side walls of some apartments on the top floor, were blown down 6 or more floors to the areas below. This would have been in 1988 or 1989. Seems this was a similar situation to this tragic 4th alarm. In that incident no fire resulted, but it was a Gas Explosion, I later found out. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired
