Is Roxbury FD (vollies) still in business?

ALSO: It makes sense after looking at the map, but I didn’t realize that was E284/Sat3, Rescue 2, & Squad 252 area. I‘m almost surprised it isn’t covered by DIV 15.

Last I heard they were. You don't hear too much from them on social media.

TL -153 Operated at Two Second Alarms last night! Staten Is 22-2791 and Querns 22-1446 both out of Boro, what are the odds on that.

Out of curiousity, I Googled Roxbury and found this one and only article. They received 250 someodd thousand dollars, for a new ambulance in Feb of this year. Unless there on Instagram or Tiktok, you dont hear too much from them. The last FB post was April of 2022, an even before that, they only had 2 or 3 posts a year, just updating cover photos, and an occasional post.

There was another job on 66th street near L-172 in the middle of the night which they may have been at also - that would be 3 jobs in 3 different boroughs for the night

E329 ATV on scene as well. Pics from citizen. Looks a bit like the end scene from Backdraft. Also, for this fully involved (vacant) factory - was a 10-41 given?

 

[Darrell]

This must have been cooking by the time E329 got there.

Looks like the fire building was pretty far into the actual old fort itself, no wonder they had to use the satellite lines to get to the nearest hydrant.

Another job for the not in service Super Pumper. By the water , give them a chance to use that apparatus.

Super pumper wouldn’t make an effect at this fire for a few reasons….

1) to far from the water and a beach marine 9 would be very far out.

2) they had terrible water issues trying to keep the tower ladders using 4-5 hydrants. It was dropping they couldn’t keep the manifold going.

3) the response time just to far. Really 1 TL knocked down this fire by time most of the 2nd Alarm companies got on scene they had a decent knock on this fire. Command Tac, Rescue Batt wasn’t much fire when they got there and they are responding in Pick Ups so imagine Super Pumper east 30-45min ride with rush hour traffic…
