My understanding is all hands signals given in transit require the assignment of additional units not assigned to a conventional all hands. These include the rebreather unit, rescue battalion, tac, field comm, one Nolan cart unit, and one high rise unit. In terms of why the HR gets assigned, I...

But you agree they're an updated version of the collapse rigs designed to replace the collapse rigs, yes? That seems pretty clear from the specs. Also curious if you have any intel on why 7 vs. 5.

After reading the specs, it is quite clear these are replacements for the collapse rescue units. The compartmentation specs specifically mention quantities of wood to be carried in the rear, similar to the current collapse units, and the paint/decal specs specifically mention "Collapse Rescue"...

First, thanks Skyler for another great fleet Friday video. Just a couple things to add regarding the SOC pay discussion. My understanding is the department has baseline salaries which are then adjusted upward (called a "differential") for various classes of positions. In addition to the SOC...

Press conference:

Google Maps has SQ41 relocating through New Jersey as the fastest route (1h20m), I assume they would take the longer route to remain in the city (?), if so it's a 1h40m relocation!

SOC availability getting tighter... R5, SQ8, SQ1 on this job, R4, SQ288 on the 5th in QNS, SQ252 going to an unstable roof. SQ41 relocating to SI. SOC Logistics and Compressor are at a dewatering job in Manhattan. Not to mention roughly 40 engines and 25 trucks tied up between this job and the...

65-2: Forecasted heavy rain and winds. Peak hours Monday 0300-1100. SOC has activated two high axle vehicles with swift water equipment.

All hands, PWH

Citywide tour commander. Some staff chiefs who serve in other roles (training, fire prevention, etc) as well as some of the chiefs in the bureau of operations do 24 hour rotations as the tour commander. Assigned on the third alarm I believe, but can also respond at their discretion. Not sure if...

Anybody have any insight on why this is an R4 box and not R2? I get that it is in Queens but R2 appears to map substantially closer. Am I missing something?

E305 act. E304 E331 act. E317

Thank you. I am curious in this case if the division they vacate simply goes unstaffed or do they move a BC to ADC and have a captain ABC, etc.

Interesting to see Car 421 on both this and the Manhattan 10-76. I'm aware that this is a reserve Command Chief unit staffed by a Deputy, and it appears that they were acting Citywide Tour Commander for at least some of the night last night. My questions, if anybody knows, are: 1) Would this...
