Anyone have any idea what stream opened up just before the tower? Doesn't look like a deckngun, as it should be the same size stream as the tower. Looks too big for a handline also.

My guess is a deck gun.

Note in the short video of the Bronx 3-3 that the Tower Ladder is positioned on the "Apex" the 1-4 = A -D, Corner of the building the safest placement in case of a building collapse. The other advantage is that positioning on the corner of the fire building allows the Tower Ladder to attack the fire on at least. 2 sides of the building. If possible, try to position Tower Ladders on every corner of the building you can. I worked in some of the busiest Tower Ladders in the F.D.N.Y. INCLUDING TL-18 as a firefighter, T.L.-44 and TL-17 Covering as a Lieutenant and a Lieutenant assigned in TL-21 and covering as a Captain in TL-7. At building Collapses a Tower Ladders belong on the corners and if possible, in front of the collapsed building belongs. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

My guess is a deck gun.

I was thinking maybe the satellite monitor. Stream looks to heavy for the average deck gun.

That is an interesting area where companies are 1 due & a block away could be 3rd due. Eng 61 would have been on the first alarm years back.
Depending upon the corner 64 should be 1 due with either 61, 90, or 96 second, third, or even forth due. It is also the border line between Div 6 & 7 boxes. This area also sees a heavy response of Tower Ladders - 54 - 41 - 58 - 50 - 31 on the first few alarms.

As for the relocation of Eng 22 to 82. With an ongoing 3th alarm it is a reasonable decision. The dispatcher is bringing a company in from outside the general area and not cris-crossing other relocations. Eng 35 was relocating to 94. Good move. So there are 91, 53, & 58 left to cover the area btw 22 & 35. Looks good to me.

'ongoing 3th alarm it is a reasonable decision'

I Didn't mean to imply it was Unreasonable; Just Sayin' it's a Nice Lil' bit O' Ride

Certainly what it looks like, by how thick and sloppy it is.
