Has the new Mayor had a chance to see his Fire Department in action protecting his citizens yet?
Has the new Mayor checked on or visited his injured Firefighters?Heard he showed up was seeing if the fire victims were white so the city can steal their house

Great rundowns and videos posted by members here thank you. Between this 5th and the Bronx 5th within the first few days of 2026 we’ve seen some historic fires. Pictures alone of these will both be for the books.

Chief Inspector. Responds to 3rd Alarm Plus, all major fires or deaths with Lithium Ion Batteries. They work very closely with BFI now. They are issued bullet proof vests and everything now
If you zoom in on the image in this link, you'll see the shafts between the buildings:

The fire doesn't have to be on the top floor to extend via the shaft.

Despite the 28 battalion being the IC, it appears from my video that the 28 BC was operating as the fire sector in exposure 4 while the 37 was in the original fire building.
I have never seen the IC / first due battalion chief leave the command post and go do firefighting unless they were an ABC. And in that instance the 2nd chief (non ABC) takes over IC duties.
Wonder what the deal was or if the division decided that they needed a chief in there right away? The rapidly extending fire would lead me to believe that these were extraordinary circumstances.
Attaching photos for reference.
