As I remember it, the WTC was at least three 5th alarms with some 3rd's and 2nd's all transmitted for different sites within the WTC complex. All told, I believe that in total, it was the equivalent of 23 alarms.

I think it's a control issue. In the public's eyes (and in the administration's as well) a fifth alarm is more manageable (i.e. under control) than a seventh, ninth or a tenth alarm. We have everything under control, see nothing went past a fifth alarm. It's also like fire related deaths. At...

Back in the day, when the city was burning down, O'Hagan was closing companies and ordering chiefs not to transmit greater alarms.

May they all continue to Rest in Peace.

Isn't Ferrara part of the REV group?

They were around the corner and being waved in? (LOL)

Thank you, Sir!

According to the 2026 Brooklyn borough map, there was a job at Box 1245 at 92 Prospect Place. Does anyone have a rundown/particulars? Thanks.

Does anyone have an update on the injured members?

I completely agree. If you have the resources and you think you need them then have them respond.

Interesting, the rundown stated that D6 was requesting the additional rescue and squad for relief.

There seemed to be plenty of engines and trucks available for relief, why not have an additional rescue and squad on scene to relieve the initially assigned rescue and squad? I'm sure they would like a blow as well.

Brooklyn box 2541 (should be): E-281 L-147 BC-48
