If 163 is on fire wouldn’t they technically be first due?

If they were enroute to the shops on SI they might not have MOS on the rig

They didn't ask for a ticket

They didn't ask for a ticket

Aha... big mistake. Didn’t get a mark for the job?

Haha yah it sounds like 163 was finally getting their rig back from the shops. Now they’re stuck in their spare for a lot longer.

Is it 163s original rig? It may be returning to the city, remember the rig was involved in an MVA with 127 a few months ago.

Does 284 take the satellite to the bridge?

Does 284 take the satellite to the bridge?

No 152 goes to the standpipe below the bridge.

No 152 goes to the standpipe below the bridge.

Doesn’t a foam unit go the standpipe as well?

 

[baileyjeff]

No

I think 284 goes to the brooklyn Anchorage and 152 goes to the staten island Anchorage and they bring foam 152.

 

[JA290]

No

Alarms to the Vz Bridge generate a response of 2&1 from both sides, a battalion and R5 if avail. On the Richmond side F152 is assigned if E152 is available.
