You forgot the part where in the 90s JFK barely maintained its certs because the crash trucks barely made the minimum required water capacity. I mean if the FAA requirements were for 15000 gallons of available water, they had 15000. When they built the new station out by 4 l/r, they sloped the...

Was just looking at Fb and of course just about everybody is talking about this in someway shape or form. But 1 article brought up an interesting point, and of course the comments are all over the place. The article states that at first no one told the passengers what to do. Thinking normally...

Its not what it looks like. Airports are entirely different animals. Basically you have to have special permission and training just to drive on the field, and that's to work there. The PAPD has their own set of sogs. When its determined that FDNY is needed, the units are staging at their main...

Its different then that. Its tailored specifically for anything the airports can throw at FDNY. A normal 2 or above has 1 satellite. There's 3- 4,2,6, plus the hose wagon(308) initially assigned. Theorettically 4 including the hose wagon even if it doesn't have the full equipment load out...

Its.a specifically modified 2nd. There's 3 satellites with their transport engines, hose wagon with its associated transport engine, foam task Force, 2 rescues at least 2 squads i think, 2 marine units plus numerous other specialty units.

There are, but there few and far in-between. At 1 point and i dont know if it's changed or not but on 269 and 37 certain units are designated as drafting companies. E331 is/was 1 on 269.

Airport ops vehicles and push back tugs also have to have atc approval before doing certain things. (Kennedy Steve on yt loved to pick on Deltas tugs) What a lot of people dont realize is that airports are really dangerous in general but looks routine.Until it isn't. Even just working airside...

If im not mistaken, each airport has staffing based on its load. I think Washington for example has only 1 from a certain time on based on low activity. I honestly dont know what the levels are for LGA during what times. But yeah there is a problem staffing training and retaining atc. Even if...

I beleive so. There was questions about similar manning in Washington when the helo hit the commuter plane last year.

Probably getting a number in line like everyone else. Unless a specific set of circumstances pop up that require some one jumping the line.

Having worked the ramp at Kennedy and looked at least on the surface at several recent incidents, theres a few different ways it could happen. I dont want to speculate, until some more facts come out. And theres more near misses and incident on the ground that make the rounds.

The system exists. Where i used to work, we had AVLs in every rig for that reason. It was used mostly, by the ambulances. The downside is, that they were constantly getting stuck in other areas. For hours on end. But using it for fire calls, especially multiples that go quick it can be very...

There's a few cracks forming here and in the theory. But dont expect major changes.

Didn't say it was right, and I've had this conversation with people i worked with.( theres more then a few sogs in my old dept with my name associated with it for similar things) People dont care what the number is on the side of the truck, the name or slogan or anything else. All they care...

From what I understand, the Rescues are very territorial. With a few limited differences basically each rescue covers their Boro. Doesn't matter if 1 is already on the road or 10 minutes closer.

Broad Channel, Hamilton Beach and Howard Beach, all have similar roads. Un marked, barely marked or you have to get lost to find it. I forget the names off hand but theres more then yould think.

Where was 285? I know the cad is " different " after the bridge, but hands down they'd beat 236, and definitely 293 and 308.

According to Broad Channels fb page, West Hamilton Beach provided Mutual Aid. Doesnt specify engine or ambulance. Also it was Broad Channel Engine 203 that responded.
