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?

My girlfriend who knows I follow this forum and fires online who has no knowledge of FDNY ops said the same thing to me last week.

With all the narrow streets around there I would agree with that spot. Companies can park there rigs all along the back of hospital property. It’s along a short maybe 2 or 3 block walk from there. Using other streets would cause a huge block up

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?.

I agree 100%. At least one of the SOC units should be FAST, FDNY Has plenty of trucks for grunt work.

At midnight maybe. During the afternoon, with delivery trucks up and down that street? I dont even think TLs can make that turn onto 186 from arthur with the amount of cars and trucks there nowadays. And 2 one ways creates a bottleneck. Just my opinion….thats way above my pay grade. Just speaking from experience sitting at a few staging areas lol

Could y’all image those streets if dis wuz just befo a holiday. Start walkin in from Southern Blvd!!!
 
I say it again. You should Not put the FAST truck to work for anything other than a FAST/Mayday!" Chief's if you must put the FAST Truck to work for fire duty it is because you are play catch up. Chief's if you do not have multiple units standing by "On Deck" you have not planned ahead; you have not been proactive. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 25 retired.

You and she are right. In 2025, the total number of multiple alarms from Jan 1 to Apr 30 was 79. This year, the total number of multiple alarms from Jan 1 to 1800 Apr 21 was 87. That's a 10.1% increase through today, and who knows how many more there will be before May 1.

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.

4779 came in at the same time as the phone alarm for this alarm
