G-Man Theory:

The "G-Man Theory", postulated many moons ago by long-time member (and mean ax-man) Tom Eve (guitarman314), states:

"For every 10-75 or greater job, the one thing that is most probable is that one or more 1st due or 1st alarm unit(s) is not available for one reason or another."

A corollary to this theory is that if a given unit is out of service for training, Medicals, PM, etc. there will be a big job.

You'll see this theory referenced again and again on this board.

FYI: If you haven't already checked it out, there's a fantastic amount of information, including the above explanation of the "G-Man Theory" in the FAQ for this site, which you can find here: https://nycfire.net/forums/threads/fdny-frequently-asked-questions.1273/
