    7/22/25 Manhattan All Hands 10-77 Box 0234

    I know that's what they do regularly. I worked EMS in that area for quite a few years. My question was about what the computer generated responses recognized as the closest units.

    7/25/25 Queens 10-75 Box 450

    Are these buildings accessed off the platform or a separate set of stairs from the street? It's hard to tell from the pics and video but the building doesn't appear to be attached to the platform.

    Good news for NY Firefighters

    I haven't worked EMS in NYC over 20 years. Does this law now mean that Lieutenants and Captains on the EMS side will have aides to drive them?

    7/22/25 Manhattan All Hands 10-77 Box 0234

    Just curious, does BARB take one way streets into account? If 15/18 do not make a right out of quarters and either go around the block or take Delancey to the FDR then 9/6 would get in first every time.

    7/20/25 Manhattan 10-77 Box 290

    Should be a 28/11 first due box and that must be a typo about B10 giving 10-77

    NYS Legislators pass law to open NYPD radio encryption to public

    I remember in the 70's and 80's going with my dad to Stuart Electronics on Parsons and Union Tpk. to buy crystals. That place always seemed to be packed with people buying scanners and crystals.

    7/12/25 Brooklyn 10-75 Box 2845

    Hoping the member is going to be OK. Is it normal that both the engine and truck would be OOS for an injured member?

    7/4/25 Queens 2nd Alarm Box 4455

    2 questions/comments on this last video. 129 is first due but set up on the side street? Is this so that the tower ladder can take side 1 on a commercial tax payer? The member climbing the portable in the beginning looked a little shaky on the ladder. I've always felt it was safer and more...

    A LOOK BACK.

    It looks like Exp 2 of 82/31 is one of the few buildings on the block other than the firehouse that didn't burn down.

    6/27/25 Queens All Hands Box 4295

    I grew up in Glendale at 76 St & 78 ave and spent much of my youth hanging out at Juniper Valley Park. Moved out at 16 years old in 1986 and then went back in the early 90's and worked as a paramedic at SJQH. Used to sit at Juniper Valley Park again working on 44A.

    6/22/25 Bronx 5th Alarm Box 3360

    Thanks for your response. I worked many years as a medic for one of the voluntary hospitals in NYC and I have always been a fire buff. I've been out of NYC for over 20 years. I see the rescue medics in pictures on many assignments and knew they worked closely with units on fires. The creation of...

    Tower Ladders vs Rear Mount straight ladders

    That an interesting note about L19. They would have still been on E166 St at that time which is probably as tight if not tighter as Belmont Ave. I often look at that old firehouse on E166 St on Google and imagine the insanity on that tight block during shift change with E50, E50-2, L19 and Div 6...

    6/22/25 Bronx 5th Alarm Box 3360

    Thank god this worked out as well it did and the fireman will recover. This is NOT a knock on anyone, but did the rescue medics treat him with cyanokit? Did they do something a normal line medic unit couldn't?
