3/13/10 box 4674 S.I.U.Hospital wall collapse response

[guitarman314]

  Since so many units were out on numerous calls Rescue 1, L132 w/R2 Collapse Unit, & Sq. 252 were called in.  

 

[Bigandy]

I think Rescue 5 became available and offered to respond in with the collapse rig. R-1 went 10-8

 

[rdm258]

Going to be an interesting run down.

 

[guitarman314]

  This was at the Seguine Ave. bldg. which is way down near the southern end of the island. Rescue 5 was working at another job and by the time they were released L132 w/R-2 Collapse were on the bridge so R5 was told to continue into the job and R-1 was told to 10-2.

This is going to be an interesting summer when it gets here.

 

[rdm258]

Sounds like there are multiple trees,roofs,wires, down.
What is going on, in the City?

  Oops! My neighbor's tree just fell over across two back yards and is resting on a garage attached to my back yard. Lights are blinking, so I may be offline any minute. :

 

[rdm258]

Nassau and Arthur Kill Rd, Lad on SI  on scene with a car in high water, thats occupied, asked for the box to be filled out. Car in the Creek.
Time: 1748 hrs

 

[catry]

You know it's busy when the dispatcher asks "Is any unit available on the South Shore?"

 

[anesti]

actually i heard this this morning, "Rescue 5 to the bronx on your frequency".

 

[NYBravest82]

a 85 foot tree by my estimate went down in front of me as i was travelling on South RR.

SIRT is out.

SI Ferry is out.

Trees down on Richmond Road, Guyon ave...

Units from all over Brooklyn on S.I.(nothing new i know), but when I start hearing about Ladder 24, Engine 28, Ladder 33 and Rescue 1 comin here, I get my ears perked a lil'

all this and bloomturd wants to CLOSE firehouses

 

[Bigandy]

Staten Island's hogging all the airtime on my scanner today!  ;D

All the Rescue's are all over the place. Rescue 4 going to the bronx, Rescue 5 to the Bronx, Rescue 1 to SI. Hectic day, and CADS was down for a while too, old fashioned pencil and paper!  

 

[NYBravest82]

i'm not hoping it by any means mind you, but, being the weather nut I am, and seeing what the past few summers have been like, I wouldn't be surprised if a major tornado(EF3 or higher) hit the city, or S.I. especially. And even know the mayor claims that we are "safe" inside the buildings from weather events, not everyone can get inside a building, and if a twister hits midtown, those people are going to be guillotined with all that glass. Again, not hoping it, but it will happen.

 

[anesti]

normally dont hear much of staten island but they have been stepping on the bronx all day over the dispatch,bronx dispatchers dont have much time between calls to catch a breath, dispatcher 144 is ha a  nonstop mouth this evening.

out of curiosity what are the odds of a twister hitting midtown wouldn't it be hard for it to form due to there not begin enough room between the buildings begin so close??? it could happen in another borough though

 

[NYBravest82]

Not sure about midtown, but each of the rivers, all of s.i., lots of brooklyn and queens and the bronx have flatland that will "help" a tornado wreak all kinds of havoc, especially south sure areas. Again, not hoping for this by any means, but just looking at these weather patterns...i'm a bit concerned.
