I'm retired over 15 years, had literally hundreds of compactor fires in thre Bronx and Queens. I can't recall using typically more than 1 + 2.
A standpipe line to the chute, 1 truck to the chute-clear the blockage, compactor room and roof vent. The other truck to search for possible victims of smoke inhalation.

Fire on top floor: add’l engine for pressure? Or manpower given distances. No longer as familiar with FDNY SOPs.

Good thing we use more companies now, hopefully it helps stave off closures when the economy shits the bed.
