    5/4/26 Manhattan 3rd Alarm Box 849

    I learned as a young chief call for help before you need it. I never wanted to play catch up. I think only once I caught with it just me, my aide and the fast truck and we needed more units.

    4/2/26 Staten Island 2nd Alarm Box 4539

    Having been a chief on SI for a few years, when we needed the satellite, we needed it on the 10-75. Like SI 1075 said, volume is the issue. Quite a few multiples, we had good pressure, but hydrants on one way mains and we were out pumping the supply. Satellite has maps of mains and were able to...

    I wouldn’t call 60 psi that high. There are other factors in play. Older sections of the Island are on 6 and 8 inch mains, only fed from one direction. Many dead end blocks. If there haven’t been big infrastructure upgrades, hydrants can be scarce in wooded areas, with a few houses along the...

    1/30/26 Staten Island 3rd Alarm Box 3275

    I see hydrants in front of active and retired member's houses not dug out by me on SI. If firefighters don’t dig them out, why would civilians? Nobody thinks there is going to be a fire on my street

    12/12/24 Staten Island 10-75 Box 720

    Water pressure on SI is good. There is still an issue with smaller mains in older neighborhoods. Plenty of 6" & 8" mains and they are also fed from only one direction. Inital water is not an issue, but when multiple lines operating, water can start becoming an issue.

    It is a pit where the paper is being processed for recycling. Not sure of what actually occurs in it.
