12/5/20 Manhattan 6th Alarm Box 437

[nfd2004]

Gentlemen, regarding the "Fire Marshall/Arson Job", I can assure you that has already been addressed.

The Fire Marshalls will be the one's to determine the cause of this fire.

I see on the 6th alarm TL85 was brought in from SI. Any special reason for this?

 

[Signal73]

Probably for a 95 footer. Lots of 95 footers are in spares and aren’t 95 footers lol

FC per Car-4A transmit a 6th Alarm for relief. The Fire is PWH. 4 Engines 3 Tower Ladder 2 have to be 95 foot. And additional fast truck and 2 BC they can not be ABCs @09:07

What are ABCs?

 

[Signal73]

Acting Battalion Chiefs

 

[mac8146]

ABC’S are Captains detailed for a day or night tour to a Battalion to act as chief when a Battalion Chief is off and no surplus Chiefs are available. A captain will then be hired to fill the spot left open by the detail.

Too Bad FDNY didn't have a few apparatus with larger deck pipes.

We have the pumping and flowing capacity to drown Manhattan worse than Sandy... what's the point here?

And I think that piece makes this all five boroughs having representation on this call. Only a 30 minute 14 mile haul for them... not too bad

I saw the videos on YouTube of this fire all I can say is damn..

 

[PghDon1977]

Ironically, while that fire was going on we had a four alarmer in Pittsburgh with three houses involved.

Really sad to see a church burn

yes, one of the few times l got sarcastic here, just saying, the point is, why not use a satellite or two ?

The satellites gun and engine deck guns are so underutilized in our dept.

The satellites were used much more often back in the 60's and 70's. While the Super pumper system was still fairly new, I guess the thinking was "if we got it, why not use it"

That intersection of Second Ave and Seventh St is a bit of a cursed intersection. The northwest corner of the intersection was the site of the gas explosion on March 26th 2015 that killed two and destroyed three apartment buildings. Now this fire on the southeast corner. I saw the apartment building was being demolished. Does anybody know what was decided to do with the church?

 

[PghDon1977]

I knew that looked familiar

I read that the church is fundraising to rebuild, but I don't know if there is going to be much left of the structure that can be salvaged. I'm very thankful that there were no serious injuries in this fire, but as a stained glass artist and restoration technician, the loss of the Tiffany windows in the church saddens me.

They are keeping the Facade of the church, it seems pretty sturdy. Everything else is being painstakingly torn down as to not damage the remaining facade. Spent 5 hours down there today.
