3/9/2021 Bronx 3rd Alarm Box 2527

[4 truck]

165 and Jerome for staging is a little bit of a hike to that box

I agree.

And this is just how life goes on, old dispatchers would've never done that. Someone unfamiliar may look at map/GOOGLE MAPS and think it's close but it is 3 blocks south, then walk west, then walk 3-4 blocks up north to fire building uphill. Not good at all.

The dispatchers used to say "the suggested staging area is..." but now I only hear them say "the staging area is..." That being said, even a BC coming in on the 3rd alarm may not be familiar with that area, seeing he is coming from far away.

Personally, I think it should be back on the DC to set that up.

Lots of unusual staging areas often being selected for over 15 yrs now....i have ordered some redirected at jobs i worked at & have had a few conversations about this all back prior to 2009 when i RET but it still does happen.
