That would make sense. This was their rig back in the day, so it would make sense that, given their status as an HMTU, they’d want a newer one after the job took the old one. Though I wouldn’t put it past the brass to realize that maybe all of the HMTUs should have a squad pumper, given they’ve...

Please forgive me if I seem clueless or incompetent, but what’s the deal with 165 supposedly getting a Squad-pattern pumper? The good captain has said in the rear mounts’ thread that 165 is getting one, and it’s to my understanding that they’re a HMTU, but the others don’t have Squad-pattern...

I have nothing to add to this thread, but I was scrolling and did a double-take, thinking I saw Box 1622 instead of 1662. I was seriously thinking the members were sent back to that shithole, given it seems to be a magnet for multiple alarms and member injuries. Thankfully not this time, yeah?

Does anyone happen to know when Ladder 12 went from an RMA to an aerialscope, and if any other companies sweet-talked the Job into getting one as well around the same time? I’m not sure if it was the same mistake made by L6’s Captain before Jay Jonas got the post and brought them back to a TDA...

Indeed. I did recognize it as outdated, just based on the 10-80, given that if one code is altered, chances are high that the Job would alter several just to make the paperwork easier.

I might be making a clown of myself, but this is the site that I pulled it from, and spawned my question given its thoroughness in description of responses: https://fdnyfloridaretirees.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FDNY-10-CODES.pdf Thanks for answering, I’ll possibly ask more questions after...

I’ve been looking at the Job’s 10-codes for a while, and the codes for HazMat incidents are elusive to me. I know of 10-86 and 10-87 for foam ops, but the 10-80 doesn’t have anything conclusive from what I can find. As of now, I believe it ranges from No-Code to Code 2, but I’ve found older...

Just to clarify on that, would you get everything on the matrix for all 3 MCI categories as the base, then make decisions based on what you can see and what you’re being told by your crews?

Yeah, these kinds of logistics are unheard of up here on the prairies. We’ve got 6 (technically 7) hospitals citywide, 3 are urgent care and 3 (technically 4, because 1 includes the only children’s hospital province-wide afaik and has a separate pediatric ER) ERs, so it’s pretty cut and dry that...

Just to clarify, is it a single engine total before the next alarm, or is it 2 above if you’re special-calling one specifically to be tasked with CFR while the other is for suppression?

So, in MCIs where an HTO is assigned, is it only 1 as a whole, or is it 1 per hospital if there’s enough concern (or common sense) to distribute among 2 or more hospitals to avoid a single ED/OD from getting creamed by critical cases/rapid increase in patient volume?

I suppose that officer’s purpose is to notify next of kin if needed or to track who goes to which hospital? I don’t know anything about their tasks because we haven’t got anything of the sort where I’m at.

Do you happen to know what HTO is? I can guess that it isn’t a HazTac/Tec (whichever it is) Officer as that is clearly marked between the Conditions unit and Deputy Chief.

If you don’t mind me asking, what do the letters within the boxes mean? Are there any asterisks or notes that aren’t in the images?
