So 3rd Alarm was for extension to exposure #4 which is 14th street?

 

[MichaelS]

I was listening to this & fieldcom did say exposure 2, not 4.

 

[MichaelS]

Oh & they also put the 2nd FAST truck to work (132) & the FAST truck after that was 148.

 

[FDNY220122]

So 3rd Alarm was for extension to exposure #4 which is 14th street?

Exposure 4 would not be the street it would be a building to the right of the fire building. In this case if it was Exposure 2 that had the extention then it would be to the left of the fire building. Right next to it.

I don't want to start beating a dead horse but per the size up from I believe Bat 32 Fire  Building:

3  Story  Brick  30 x 50  Store  &  Dwelling

Surrounding  Properties:

Exp. #1:  Is  a  Street

Exp. #2:  Is  a  Similar  Type  attach

Exp. #3:  Is  Unknown

Exp. #4:  Is  a  Street
So since the battalion chief on scene felt the #4 exposure was a street I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
