baileyjeff said:Oh I know but let?s just say Squad 8 is in Brooklyn on a fire, Engine 166 is on a EMS run and a fire comes in by Squad 8?s quarters. The next due Engine is at least 5 to 10 minutes away. One fire fatality in 154?s area after there disbanded.. Agree or disagree..
lucky said:I don't know if this is still done but they used to team up engine companies for EMS runs. If a certain amount of engines were OOS for any reason, the remaining engines in that group were not available for EMS, only fire responses.
For a long time SI units, dispatcher, boxes, radio, voice alarm were called "Richmond". In the 1980s, designations became "Staten Island" which was the common geographical name. Now we have a return to "Richmond" which was the historical borough name.FDNYSTATENISLAND said:Very cool! I like the Richmond on the side, Squad 1 has Brooklyn on their door. And I like the originated date on the side compartment. Exciting stuff
