I wonder if there is a certain cut off for FDNY 63/239/15 is about 2-3 miles awayDid Yonkers or FDNY assist them ?
That is correct. I wonder in the southern cities/towns of Westchester County, if when they need to activate the State Fire Mutual Aid plan, if it draws from Nassau or Rockland before FDNY?Eastchester TL and Pelham engine mutual aid for cover. MV will typically exhaust Westchester County mutual aid before any request to FDNY unless it's a specific resource (foam, etc).
I'm speaking from ignorance, since I haven't lived in NY for 50 years . . . but I would be VERY surprised to see a response from Nassau County into Westchester.That is correct.

Back in the fall of last year, Nassau and Suffolk sent swift water assets up to Westchester during Tropical Storm Ida. They staged at the Westchester Fire Training Center in Valhalla. I'm not sure if they were deployed into the field.I'm speaking from ignorance, since I haven't lived in NY for 50 years . . . but I would be VERY surprised to see a response from Nassau County into Westchester.
Wow. Yonkers to Buffalo in the winter. Quite a jaunt. Good thing apparatus isn't open cab any more.Both responses were triggered by activating the Statewide Mutual Aid Plan. A few years back, the Yonkers FD and several additional career departments were sent to Buffalo as a technical rescue task force when they Buffalo was hit with over 6 feet of snow. Those units conducted structural assessments of unstable buildings that were damaged by the heavy snow load.
