Great to hear from my friend Herb Eysser, who is still active with the UFA Staff. A great guy and a Great FDNY Dispatcher, keep it up brother. I also think fondly of your brother B.C. George Eysser another friend and "Brother in the Battle". Until then "Maintain a constant state of readiness." "This could be the night". Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.
 
One of our members mentioned to me that the Month of October, 2024 Fire Activity was NOT posted.

Well, I apologize to the members.
I had a medical issue going on then that some of you know about.

Comparing the numbers over the last three months (October, November, December, 2024) for most multiple alarm activity based on reports given on this topic and listed by Brad, aka "signal73" - The Battalion with the MOST MULTIPLE ALARM ACTIVITY for those months is:

BATTALION 22 with THREE Multiple Alarm Fires During That 3 Month Time Frame.

With Battalion's 13, 15, 33, 47, and 53 in second place with first due for Two Multiple Alarms each
 
Nice presentation of monthly/yearly data. A big thank you to those doing this work.
