Todt Hill section. Up the block from E159. Million dollar neighborhood not far from the original Godfather movie house.

Aerial view of the house:

2nd alarm garage fire? I guess the location had something to do with it.

Advanced fire in many parts of Staten Island better to request next alarm early due to distance to get there. If you don’t need them as they come in can release
Perhaps looked like house was an exposure
Hazard until fire got knocked down

Looking at google street view, the garage is below grade under the house, so it’s a cellar fire. Also having worked and responded to that neighborhood, some of the detached garages are 40’ x 40’ or bigger.
 
You can always send them back if you don't need them. Call for help early and as often as needed. I once transmitted a 10-76 for smoke condition on multiple floors in a large office building. I turned out that the fire was in the grease and oil on the machinery on an elevator car, and the smoke had been carried up the elevator shaft, to multiple floors. Battalion Chief Foley was working in Battalion 9, in Midtown Manhattan. Chief Foley pulled me aside, and said "No problem, I will never fault you for asking for too much help, I would rather that then you NOT asking for enough help." When I on the Battalion Chiefs Promotion List and started to be an acting Battalion Chief, Deputy Chief Vincent Dunn said almost the same thing to me. Remember "Flex Time" = the time between when you ask for help and when Thay arrive and are going to work. Chief's if you don't have fire units standing next to you and the fire in not under control you have already, "screwed up." "Don't play catchup"!
