I have no audio but got a FDNYalert Text saying 2nd Alarm

Did they transmit one?

Yes D15 gave UC, transmit 2nd alarm/no special units, make Truck a TL (L124)

Thanks Dan

How do you give a U/C and then transmit a 2nd alarm. Shouldn’t it be a PWH

D15 just did, UC - then 2nd alarm - must be relief purposes

321 was enroute to relocate to 257 when this came in and assigned 3rd due.

Bulldoze the place for good.

 

[memorymaster]

How many jobs have been at that place. I've lost count. Chief JK is correct, make it a parking lot.

 

[Larry Wayne]

I grew up near there in the 1950s. Preston court was always one big scrap yard. It’s been burning forever. Should be bulldozed.

Don't know if still a factor , but at one time , any vehicle that came into the yard had the fuel removed , and employees kept it around for their own use , in any container that would seem to hold it.
A 5 gallon bucket, bleach bottle ,anti-freeze bottle whatever was on hand . Add cutting torches , grease , oil into the mix , ta da , deep seated , fuel fed multiple's.
