Verbal Box for a wall collapse

TL14 directed to pick up Rescue Collapse 1 at L25's quarters _ L25 out on another Box

Disp to BC 2: it's a verbal from Rescue 1 - you have a minor collapse - you have:
TL14 w/Rescue Collapse 1
TL1 SOC support
SB
RB
Squad 18
TS-1

CIDS: Under demolition - 3 story - 70x60 Class 3 - holes in the roof and floors - fire escapes on Exp 1, 3 and 4 - use extreme caution - aka 11-17 Second Avenue - aka 25 E1st St

14:15
BC2: Box 418 we're going to release all units - we're going to hold 1 Engine and 2 Trucks - E55, T20 and L11 - we had a minor ceiling collapse - we had a construction worker who was injured - he has been removed - Police ESU has been on the scene for 20 to 30 minutes

14:16
BC2: have Buildings respond and see if you can get an ETA
 
So lets get this straight. ESU on scene for 10 to 15 minutes and FDNY not informed? Box came in as a verbal from Rescue 1. That just does not sound right.

That's what the dispatcher reported - feel free to listen to the archive tapes on radio reference.com like I did

Verbal came over probably because R1 monitors PD radios because PD SOD always pulls this kind of garbage....and it will get someone killed..oh wait...it already did.

I believe that, maybe I did not say it correctly, what I meant was I can't believe that FDNY were not notified on the call, it had to come from a verbal from Rescue 1, that is not right, FDNY should be notified immediately.

No problem - sorry if I overreacted as well -  I think we all agree there should be more interagency cooperation and teamwork - but unfortunately "humans" are involved - these things happen in all walks of life where ego's get involved.
