Prince George?s County, Maryland

While FDNY has had five alarm fires for generations, even multiple simultaneous five alarm fires, many other fire departments across the country are being faced with their first five alarm incidents.

The challenge is multi story, wood frame apartment buildings, under construction.  New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, and California have all had recent experiences.

This was Prince George?s County?s first five alarm fire.  Five adjacent counties and the District of Columbia provided companies to the fire and for coverage.  Similar to FDNY?s boro calls, the Nation?s Capital Area fire services have had an extensive automatic aid system in place since the 1960?s.

It should also be noted - that the response on higher alarms in most other cities is much less then the FDNY response on higher alarms.

This is reminiscent of some of the Brooklyn Navy Yard fires back in the 60's, 70's, 80's.
