Run to work ratio is killer. Even if they don’t go to “work” lol. Perhaps run to job ratio is better

To think, not that long ago, Marine 8 probably would have been Exposure #4 on 52nd St.
Strange to see 3 engines and 2 trucks s/c from S.I.

When MCC is requested but no transport unit…how does it get there?

Si companies have been relocating a good amount into Brooklyn recently.

 

[Extra One & One]

Very rough numbers here (+/-):
37 engines (including Comm eng, Haz-Tech eng)
30 ladders
1 Rescue
1 Squad
4 RACs
3 Marine
23 Battalions (including HM, SB, RB, MB)
1 Division
2 TSUs
SOC (Dewatering, Logistics, Compressor)
1 CT
1 Field Comm
1 Haz-Mat
1 MCC
1 MSU
4 Staff Chiefs

I figured staffing at minimum levels. I get approximately 475 personnel on scene. When adding in the other support units (Medical, Fleet Services, etc), plus any additional such as a 5FF engines, I am guessing closing in on 500 total (not including EMS).

Were any of the satellite units actually running their deck guns or were they just running LDH and manifolds?

Side question, if a marine unit is supplying ladders/engines, do the companies flush out the rigs at the end of the job to get the salt water out of the pumps and internals?
