i believe nyc had 5 man engines when they did the math for standpipes at 75' or 6 stories
could you imagine when the city went to reduced manning (4man engines) if a lawsuit went into action requiring all buildings
4 story or 60 ' in height now requires a standpipe system...landlords would be...
seems like the 300 600 700 800 and 900 boxes are starting to heat up again. (that area cooled off with the hipsters gentrification)
wondering if their leftist policies are backfiring on them with the rise in crime and failing schools
causing these activists to do an irish exit.
especially with 4 man engines..the 2nd due engine has to get credit for assisting the 1st due engine
we seem to always sell our selves short on paper (reports) unlike the nypd
the nypd documents everything and this is why they close firehouses not precincts.
roosevelt island...there is definitely a need for a double house considering the isolated location and the amount of hi-rise occupied M.D.s
there is a firehouse on roosevelt island already which if i recall is the home of the dewatering unit.
a false positive for the residents.
thoughts and prayers for the victims of this fire especially the young ones.
as a fireman the first thing you want to do after a fire like this one is to go home and hug your loved ones.
