Fire Building is 0. Looking at the fire building exposures are: 1 the front (usually street), 2 is to the left, 3 is the rear, 4 is the right. The first building to the left is 2, next 2A, 2B, etc. Same for the 4 side. 3 is a little harder if you need to break down into multiple exposures...

I'm out 3 years, so it could have changed. The units on the those boxes were just sent to Manhattan via their assigned routes. It was up to the IC if he wanted them at the fire.

9001 & 9002 are still transmitted for 10-76, certain hours of the day.

They are technically different. The first building you talk about is “semi attached “ private dwelling. The two share the wall, but are two separate buildings. Separate address, certificate of occupancy, etc. It’s not considered a one building. Bigger semis do have an apartment, making that a...

Forget the exact number, but if xx amount of boxes are responded to by adjacent companies, need to cover one of the companies. If 105, 110 and 131 moved, that threshold was hit

The 48" and 72" mains are more for DEP with distribution then it is for firefighting. In regards to the hard suction, yes, you can "steal" water, especially on a smaller main only being fed from one direction or if multiple engines are connected to the main. I have seen it happen. Back when...

high rise buildings in NYC can be 440 volts or higher. With everything underground, Con Ed usually has to cut power in a manhole, and they are literally cutting power. They need to find the right manhole and go down with hydraulic cable cutters. Many times the issue is with the feed lines...

Hwy is in charge of collision investigations

Chris is buried in Resurrection Cemetry on Staten Island.

On paper can handle 4th alarm. Only 3 battalions. Two all hands simultaneously is half the engines, half the trucks and your short a BC and a deputy.

159 would be on initial ticket. 152 would have bought the satellite on 10-75 or 7-5. 161 is back up to 152 for foam and also on initial ticket

Officers in the FDNY are not counted as a firefighter. They are the officer and are supervisors. While many an officer might help with a difficult stretch, that’s not their job. For manning, it’s now 4

The original nycha buildings were 6 stories. The high rises were built around them in many of the nycha complexes. If under 75’, no standpipe. It’s more than a handful of buildings

Someone forgot to transmit it

There should be an ADC to fill in for the division and ABC for the now open battalion.

Tactical training does a very good job of teaching extrication. Most trucks go about 4 times a year to try to catch each group. Nothing really in a SSL second piece to make a difference. New Rigs also have battery operated tools, and they are good. 2nd truck responding with second set of...

120 has been considered an “A” house on pd for over 40 years. The 123 on the south shore was nicknamed Mayberry. I think it was Braton that made them take down their screen door. The crime has always been in certain neighborhoods, just like anywhere else. Post and news never really covered

As a side note, I worked regularly in 3 boros. Usually a big PD response on SI. Cops working on SI live on the Island

120 pct is one of the busiest in the city. It is also Labor Day weekend. Neighborhood is Caribian. Probably increased numbers working. Buildings on the block have fair share of crime UPS doesn’t deliver inside of those buildings. You have to go to truck since the 80’s. Too many of their drivers...
