Heard they were asking trucks not to open up because they didn’t have enough engines there. Dispatchers should’ve had relocates go right away instead of waiting for 2nd alarm units to show up. It took a while before they gave the second

Thanks Chief Brooklyn Fuego, what would we do without you. The dispatchers and brooklyn units thank you.

another good argument for 5 men engines.

Not bashing dispatchers and definitely not units so take a chill pill buddy. There were companies relocated to the area that probably heard HT transmissions from the job and when asked to be put on the box, dispatch told them to remain 10-8.
This could’ve been ugly and there wasn’t enough units when needed.

Gentlemen, we ALL certainly appreciate your contributions to this site.

However, it is the wish of this sites owner and administrators (tbendick, jbendick, and truck 4) that members NOT engage in any type of Monday Morning Quarterbacking regarding the FDNY or any other fire dept, operations, including dispatchers. It is NOT the job of ANY OF US here to "second guess" how events play out. I can also assure you that "mack", a site moderator, agrees as well.

So together we ask you to contribute to these topics but, in a "POSITIVE, PEACEFUL WAY". We just want to Keep the Peace Among Us.

THANK YOU,
Willy (NFD2004).

That job was the last one I got to buff before I moved down here to Richmond, VA. The smell of the smoke woke me up all the way over on President St. near 6th. It was heavy enough that I figured the fire had to be within a block or two.

Well there was not a 10-75 transmitted. After being 84 for about 10 minutes the battalion transmitted the All hands and within 60 seconds an engine was relocated into 219. Why let the facts get in the way of a good internet story.
