4/6/21 Queens 8th Alarm Box 7864

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.
 
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.
