Unless other activities. There are 13 companies before 314. I believe 308 is 2nd due with the Wagon and 311 should be on there

So, I understand the crash boxes and the idea of an automatic enhanced second alarm, but I always figured that was intended for air-side emergencies. Is it an oversight or perhaps an error somewhere in the system that smoke in the terminal would cause the transmission of a crash box? I don't see why smoke in the terminal would be treated any differently than smoke in any other building, but perhaps I am missing something. Anybody have any info?

FDNY policy indicates that for JFK box 269 is transmitted for incidents involving an aircraft - either a confirmed crash or a pending possible crash. Any structural fire on airport property calls for another box to be transmitted which will result in a normal response unless FDNY pre-planning calls for a modified response.

Box 269 (JFK) & Box 37 (LGA) can be transmitted from two different locations. The first location is the control tower & the second is the main fire station at each airport. JFK has two fire stations while LGA only has one.

Due to the FAA requirements, Port Authority over 10 years ago had to dedicate full-time police officers to man the crash trucks. They no longer can be used for police work. The policy of cross-manning of crash trucks has been terminated.

I see that in the original post on this thread it was reported as smoke from the Terminal but I think actually it was smoke from a Plane hence 269 was transmitted.

yes, as stated by the Chief, it was reported as smoke from a plane at the terminal

311 might have been out on a run, I don't know for sure though if there 13 companies before it could have definitely been out.

why would 314 be after 264 and 328 as they have a shorter response time then 264/328. and doesn't 314 don't go to anything above a second alarm if at quarters
