3/27/26 Bronx 3rd Alarm 10-66 Box 3514

Not unless you have a good amount of water on the fire. That big of an opening is gonna give a lot of air to that fire if you don’t.
That is what happened at the fire in 80/23s quarters back in 2008. A space heater was malfunctioning and smoldering up on the second or third floor (not enough heat in the firehouse). The members were all down in the kitchen. When they opened the doors to respond that blast of air ignited the entire third floor. The units were responding and had no idea what was going on back at the ranch.
The firehouse was eventually rebuilt and 80/23 wound up with what was basically a whole new firehouse.

Are they still running CFR runs in 79 first due area ?
Last night they had an engine “acting” 79 at E48 every 3 hours. They checked out 3 firehouses for them to relocate to haven’t heard nothing else. Around 2009 the engine went to 62 and ladder and battalion went to 81 both in cages outside. 48 has an out door pretty inclosed parking lot so maybe someone will be going there. Seems alittle out of the way to have the truck riding out of 81. I can see the battalion going to 81 just makes sense.
