I think the "discretion" he is talking about is seeing the same units being relocated and then sent to the job. For example, it's no secret that 111 is being relocated often and then sent into the job. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's up to the dispatcher who decides the relocating company...
Crazy how 111 goes as the extra truck on the first alarm while 214 sits in quarters and never gets assigned to the 5th alarm.
Even with 206 being assigned first due on the second while only being 1.2 miles away. Just goes to show how close by all those engines are over there.
To add to this, a beautiful historic church in Cleveland also burned to the ground yesterday.
I also always wondered if those church fires started by unattended candles were really arson, as someone could just 'accidentally' knock it over and walk away.
Speaking of animals, anyone have a rough idea of how many houses still have dogs in quarters these days? I can think of some off the top of my head, maybe a dozen or so? Some most notably being L20, E74, L176 (who all happen to be dalmatians)...
Looks like the OC exam won't be administered until the fall now....https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/exam-schedules/dcas-annual-examination-schedule-fy2024-application-period-order.pdf
Application period 6/24/24
So then L56 could have been first due truck here. Not sure where the 1st due areas change over there, but I'd assume this is a 48/56 first due box and 79/37 second due box. Anyone have some knowledge on this?
