1st due truck not available means my G-Man theory must've been in effect. Find out what company is out for meds, education or at the rock and it's almost a sure thing that something will happen nearby.

  For those not familiar with the topography of the Bronx; Exp. #3 is difficult to access from Davidson Ave. because Davidson Ave. is a few feet higher than Jerome Ave. and there is a rock formation which can be seen in NY-1 video and Google just behind Exp. #3 side of fire building. I mentioned a while back in a post of how the Bronx has ridges and valleys and there is a high ridge running just west of Jerome Ave. from about 167th St. to Kingsbridge Rd.

Don't worry about them.  They'll go to another one....

Sucks for the people who should have had a first due truck on scene faster!  20 companys, give or take, out of service every day and the city wants us to start with fewer to begin with...

You're preaching to the choir Bro!      BloomTURD doesn't give 2 shits about the people he was elected to serve!

And of course I worked in the truck last night and got relieved 2 hours before this came in.

Thanks Jamie (R1Smoke) for posting those videos. For those of us who couldn't be there, its the next best thing other than being there.
  Busy day for the Bronx. A Second, Fourth and I think another All Hands.
  And B Dob, don't worry about missing this job. I used to be the same way, but guys would tell me, "They'll be more". And they were right. Even in small town Connecticut. So I'm betting, unless you retire tomorrow, that you will see your share of fourth alarms. You might be the only guy on the rig if Billionaire Bloomburg gets his way. But "You'll be there".
  I do have a question. What is the FDNY Van parked near Ladder 27 in the first video ?

 

[mikeindabronx]

Bill..that would be the new unit that supplies food at jobs. It comes from that famous eatery located at Southern Blvd. & Fordham Rd.

 

[Atlas]

That is the new rig being used by the Command Tactical Unit that was using a former ambulance.

  Thank you Atlas for your straight forward response. I appreciate that.
  Rumor has it though that our friend "mikeindabronx" has been put on a diet program and has already dropped himself a few of those extra pounds. But that just doesn't seem to stop him for thinking about his favorite El Grande Macs. He apparently has visions of food delieveries in everything he looks at. Poor Mike. He still dreams about his favorite Micky D's that he misses so much.
