Three assistant operation chiefs, now what exactly would be their role at this incident that would require all three of them to be at the same incident.

3rd Alarm Chief is the Citywide Tour Commander which is Car 4B yesterday and a Safety Laison Responds C12B or C12C depending who is on call.

4th Alarm Chief is normally Chief of Ops Car 4 but he was in for Chief of Dept Car 3 so another Asst Chief was on call which would be Car 4A… also Chief of Safety which Car 4C is acting Safety Command

5th Alarm would be Chief if Department but Car 4 was acting last night….

I counted 43 engines, 31 trucks and 20 BCs on the alarm. Pretty large fire department, probably top 10

As of 0600, total number of companies assigned to this box (counting from the rundown provided by HC and Signal):

44 Engine Companies
36 Ladder Companies
26 BCs

Plus countless relocations
Wow, That’s over 20% of the engines and about 25% of the ladders. Including the Safety, Haz-Mat & Marine Battalions, there are 52 battalions on-duty… 50% of the battalions were involved.

A couple other thoughts:

With it being a high intensity, extended operation, I wonder if a Division Chief was activated to become Acting Tour Commander under the designation of 421 or 422?

There was a 10-77 in Manhattan that RAC 5 was assigned to. RAC 5 then responded to the 2nd Alarm in Brooklyn. The other 4 RACs were in the Bronx. I wonder if any thought was given to perhaps staffing RAC 6? RACs usually staffed with 2, but they can run with 1FF.

There is always 2 DCs assigned to 421 & 422 per tour. They switched out DC7 with DC6 so the bronx still had coverage. The RACs had to go back to their quarters to restock and get ready so they were OOS for a bit. No need to recall for a RAC

Side question after watching both the response videos from Majesterium and Skyler: Just before all the tower ladders were up and running and command was telling whatever engine company was still inside to drop their line clear the top floors, it looked like TL41 had a hell of a leak shooting out of the side of their bucket supply line. Is that a designed overpressure release or a case of bad pipe section seals?

l saw that, never saw it before, seemed to me like a leak, but just guessing.
