Sounds a lot like March 9. That makes two that have hit 3 alarms or greater in there for the season.

And it's early!!!!!  Goes back again to that fact that closing any stations would be plain STUPID!!!!

I know. I just hope all of these large fires really make the mayor think before he takes any actions.

I would hope he would too however, he's as sharp as a bowling ball.

  Box 8480 has had the most multiple alarmers on Staten Island for the past few years. Does anybody know what is the box with the most multiples in the city? ???

3563, Bronx?

These multiples always have a way of coming at exactly the right time, thus proving to the higher echelons that closing companies, is generally a terrible idea.

Ya think they're listening?

 

[Bigandy]

I really hope they have at least one ear open. That way it doesn't sneak out the other side.

And E165 was O.O.S. for the day tour for Education Day

On dry, windy days, Great Kills Park was almost always a multiple alarm.  Lots of exposures.  Sometimes you would be able to see the smoke from the Nelson Avenue firehouse (E162/L82/B23) before the box came in.

It is possible. Were they playing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" while on the SIE? They were playing it while driving down Kings Hwy on Thursday.

Im just guessing - there was 2 5th alarms & a 2nd alarm at that box last year, also an all hands.
Box location is E 204th St & Bainbridge Ave

Other than that, 8480 (this box) is very frequent for multiple alarms, just search 8480 in the search option on here.

  Nah, as much as I'm a native 6th Div. Bronxite who settled on Staten Island 16 years ago, S.I. box 8480 had a 6th alarmer, a 4th and at least two 2nd's before this past 3rd alarmer all within a year.

That is a shame. Some of the guys in the back were even dancing along. I never knew the Marauder II's had a stereo in them. 

Anybody have a rundown. Would love to see which units made it into SI this time. I am hoping another tiller made it's way over to continue on the trend.
