1242 Pacific Street off Nostrand Avenue

Fire on the #2 floor of a 5 story MD

Battalion 57 using All-Hands

Battalion 57 reporting the special units and FAST truck can be returned

Medical Branch resources are responding

Engine 235 & Ladder 132 First Due

*Engine 234 might normally be on the intial, but heard them tell BK they were back in their response area so they missed it*

*Also, while listening to BK for the maybe 10 mins I did, I've heard numerous 10-33's go out throughout the borough. When every unit asked for a 10-7, BK said all they had was an odor of smoke in the area. Engine 277 gave a 10-33(1) and suggested it was from the 6th alarm last night. However it is hard to believe the odor is reaching areas so far from the job. Heard 10-33s given by: E242, E247, E234, E210, E211, E318, E206, E277, SQ01, E230, L102, L148 and BC. 32 in Redhook.  You can see the wide range this odor is reaching. Just some interesting info that is probably driving the BK office crazy
 
OEM (@NotifyNYC) claims the odor was coming from burning brush in NJ.

Due to multiple brush fires in New Jersey, residents of New York City may see or smell smoke.

It's just interesting how these odors always manage to find their straight path to land in BKLYN skipping any other borough on the way...
