2 engines and 2 trucks on the inital ticket for a fire in a multiple dwelling?
where is the 3 and 2 response!
anybody have a reason why?

Most likely neither Engine hit 10-14 when they acknowledged the response. If housewatch doesnt hit the 10-14 then no 3rd engine assigned. Seems pretty simple but guys sometimes just forget it and hit 10-4.

Also  when receiving a run on the air the ENG Officer of a 4 FF Co. is supposed to acknowledge 10-14 rather than 10-4.

Are all FDNY Engines currently 4 FF engines??
