TL159 / TL105 I DNK Why...

TL-105 might've been relocated to TL-146, also TL-161 is acting TL-159

 

[lifeguard91]

Took a break from listening but were any fallback steps initiated?

 

[STAjo]

TL-105 might've been relocated to TL-146, also TL-161 is acting TL-159

TL157 Went to 127; and Then, of course Nostrand & Clarendon comes-in MVA/Pin

10-18 E.248/L.168* (?) Mad Relocation.

8th Alarm?

One stubborn fire...man really.

Looks like a little bit of a hike for the 2nd and deeper due companies. Google Maps says over 10 minutes. That's gotta feel like an eternity when the first due is stretching to the top floor and looking for back up.

Once again excellent run downs by site members

Good chance I've miscounted, but I see 34 engines, 38 ladders, and 20 battalions so far. Never mind bosses, special units and EMS.

I've always wondered how everyone finds out who is responding since they don't put the responding units over the air

Kudos to UnitWithTheUrgent and others for a super rundown, which included the time of the various events. Helps with locating specific events in the archives, especially for a job this long.
Much appreciated

Do the math and you see that between 550 and 600 firefighters responded to the scene at one point today. The majority of departments in this country don’t have that many total members. And only like 25 - 30 departments in this country have that many on duty at a time.
