@FDNY Alerts

jlab · Sep 23, 2023

I follow @FDNY alerts on Twitter now X. However, I notice that the last @FDNYAlert on X is from September 13th. Has FDNY stopped sending out these alerts or are they going to another platform ?

It’s a subscription…. Probably not paying for it since the cuts….

As said before i know a handful of us would help pay for it lol

I just signed up for the premium NYC Fire Wire app. Looks like you can drill right down to get notifications of specific incidents and apparatus. Has anyone else tried it?

Being an Admin of the App I have it (obviously) some times the 3&2 AH/UC get missed on the App

Perfect. I'll reach out to you off line when I have a minute.

Are they doing away with this service or are they looking for an alternative?

Update on this…. So since Twitter is no longer Twitter and now “X” it’s on Twitter end on why it doesn’t work anymore.

Don’t think it’s that easy when it’s a Fire Dept and not the number 1 thing on the FDNY mind.

Is it automated or someone actually posting

They pay a subscription, but X is not the same as Twitter it’s on Twitter/X end nothing FDNY can do until X fixes it I am told.

Was curious because all my accounts from twitter are still on X and work just fine

@FDNY on Xwitter still works - that's the public information handle which is manually maintained. The @FDNYAlert handle is what ceased on September 13. That was an automated feed. There are lots of services with automated Xwitter feeds that have been complaining that XwitterElon has broken their automation with all of his messing around with what used to be a great service. Not saying that's what's up here but I wouldn't be surprised. I don't believe it's a question of paid accounts or whatever (not yet anyway, because Elon isn't done screwing it all up).

I think I was able to send you a message the other day. Not sure if I did it right. Can you see if you have it on your end? If not can you send me a message?

Thank you,

Paul

It has something to do with the automated feed FDNY can’t do nothing about it. It’s Twitter end. Confirmed by a PIO
