Looks like it’s on all floors from the way the smoke was pushing at first. Very hairy overall.

Once again, TWICE - there goes the continuity of the FAST truck. We've been lucky so far, but for how much longer? And please don't try to convince us that putting that truck to work is more important, when you have a squad and rescue on scene. What happens if it hits the fan, and the Squad and Rescue are IN THAT FAN?.

The Rescue was developed to rescue firefighters. Maybe we should have them stand fast out front for that reason. Or maybe you know the stats on how often it’s the FAST team that pulls out a downed member

Less than 10%. I believe its 7%
 
Ok I'm just gonna come out and ask it. Have there's been way more multiple alarm, like 3 alarm or higher this year to date, or is it just me? I feel like I've seen at least three 5th alarm jobs this month?
 
Box 4779 was out for 75,81,95 33,27 19
Box 3536 was out for 48
Normal response for 3326
AH 88 48 45 46 79* 38 56 58F 27
2d alarm 75 90 42. 37** 33 41
Eight of these companies were unavailable as the incident at 3326 started to escalate.
(*Now operating from 62/32 quarters on White plains Rd.)
(**Now operating from 81/46 quarters on Bailey Avenue.)

3536 is located at Jerome Avenue & E205th Street near Bronx Science High School. Normally E79/37 first due there but now filled in by E48/56. 3536 is way on the opposite end of 48s response area.

4779 is at Marion Avenue & E188th Street, about a half mile from 3326.
Normal there is
48 75 88 79 46 56 33 38F 37*
I'm guessing 4779 came in before the second alarm at 3326.


You can see the ripple effect on the response to 3326 caused by both the fire at 79/37s Briggs Avenue firehouse and other boxes out in the area simultaneously.
