G'man theory in effect - E306 is normally first due and they were acting E287 the first due Engine on the 5th Alarm in Rego Park
 
I saw a TV report on CH2 and E268 from the Rockaways was there also E39 was there with L140 & L173, and even L106 showed up which has got to be one LONG Haul for a tillerman on 100 degree day. :eek: ::)
 
My uncle lives out in Bayside and my cousin texted me that Engine 312, Ladder 105, and Rescue 3 were at the 6th. My brother was in Brooklyn today and saw Engine 166 had relocated to Brooklyn.

thats a hell of a trip from there quarters
 
relocating S.I. units, especially from that deep in the borough is not smart, especially with the way we've been burning lately..

I honestly think it had to be a last ditch effort to get coverage in Brooklyn. My brother spotted them turning onto 65th from Ft. Hamilton Pkwy.
 
If SI can spare an engine, then so be it. The rigs do say FDNY, and not FDSI. It's a roll of the dice we take every time we do a relocation. Remember, it wasn't uncommon to see an engine and truck from SI going up into Bushwick, or even the Bronx back in the day because there was so much fire duty.
 
If that's what you have to do. I don't think SI is going to implode due to a relocation now & then.
 
Well said by vbcapt and FDNY150 - maximizing the use of your resources is always the best practice - you can't forecast every eventuality but you do allocate/deploy your resources to afford the best coverage you can for a given set of circumstances. FDNY does it pretty well I think!
 
I remember a funny story from yesteryear.......a friend of mine was a LT covering in a busy TRUCK........he called the DISPATCHERS which he knew  in his old boro & said ....."when i am working here we are up for relocations back to your boro.....they acommodated him more than once during his short stay covering there........when the CAPTAIN of the unit got wind of this he called the SUP.DISP.in the other Boro & identified himself & said ....."LAD*XX does not relocate to your Boro we are too important where we are".... the Supervisor said..... "excuse me CAPT ,are you in your office".....the Capt said "yes".....the Supervisor  said.... "can you please go down to the apparatus floor & pick up the housewatch phone".......the CAPT went down & picked up & the SUP said ...."can you see your rig from where you are ?" the CAPT said "yes"......SUP said ..."well see on the side it says FDNY not CAPT.XXXXXX s Truck ,so it goes where we send it" & hung up........needless to say my friend did not get to cover there anymore.
