I won't ever complain, but will still find it hard to understand the rationale of why the hundreds of smoking contents of a pot on a stove I've responded to qualified as a "structural worker.":rolleyes::unsure:

Fourth 10-45 at 1605 hours on the way to the hospital, on the other side of the botanical garden.

Unfortunately, this is just another vivid example of why basement apartments should be outlawed. Also looks like everyone between the Cross Island and the Meadowbrook showed up to watch.

So many great dispatchers we have been previleged to talk with over the years, only knowing them by their numbers.. Too bad we didn;t know their names as well. I wish when they publish them on a Department Order, they would also include their dispatcher number.:confused:

I think their rationale is that, since it was put in service primarily for airport/foam relays, consider the situation where it would be operating at the 5th alarm, and a crash box is transmitted for LGA, and the plane has a bad landing with a fuel tank rupture. What do they do now, besides...

I thought 151 was supposed to have received one of the new tiller rigs?

To think, not that long ago, Marine 8 probably would have been Exposure #4 on 52nd St. Strange to see 3 engines and 2 trucks s/c from S.I.

E,275 had a hydrant on the Exp. 4 side, but no siamese to supply. The only combo siamese was at the Exp. 2 corner. The closest hydrant was across from the middle of the bldg. at about the 150 ft. mark. I wonder if Fire Prevention was ever consulted so that common sense would say to install the...

94/48 missed another one?

Looks like they'll never relocate a tiller rig there, since they're roughly 58 ft. long. Also a 85' T/L is about 46 ft.. Looks like 136 bay is about 30 ft.

Apparently since DOITT basically took over alarm assignment, many companies that used to be 2nd or 3rd due are now in the 2nd alarm assignment. Ladder 125 used to be 2nd due at E.305's home box; now I think they're 2nd alarm truck (4th due)

2 BC's, 4 trucks and 3 engines requested over the 4th alarm, and the 5th wasn't transmitted?? I presume they weren't for relief purposes..

Anybody else not liking that one small front entrance door?

Thankfully, only one member needed transport to the hospital. I'll say it again - putting the FAST truck to work will someday bite some chief in the ass. I don't have access to the NYFIRS fire time line history, but I'm curious to know if the collapse occurred prior to the arrival, AND proper...

Bob, every Division in the city has a Squad . . . .except the 3rd Division. With the proliferation of Li-Ion devices flooding the city, in a fantasy world - it would be ideal if each Division could also have it's own HasMat company. And while you're at it, how about a Rescue company for each...
