All 10-75's are automatic MCI's.
MCI-21: 10-75
MCI-22: Second Alarm
MCI-23: Third Alarm
MCI-24: Fourth Alarm
MCI-25: Fifth Alarm

As Darrell said, an MCI is transmitted for every 10-75, along with every 10-76, 10-77, All Hands/Under Control when EMS is requested(?), Explosions, Reported Aircraft Crashes, Collapses, and 10-80s: Even when no patients are reported.
The MCI 23 typically has a minimum response of 6 BLS, 3 ALS, 1 ALS Rescue, 5 Conditions, 1 Hazmat Officer, 1 MERV, 1 MRTU, 1 Deputy Chief, 1 LSU, and an HTO. Compared to the number of units that the Fire Side has, it isn't a lot, but there are a lot of individual units that need to be staged, designated into sectors, etc.

yes , on “the fire side “ you actually had two wood frame buildings going in the middle of the block ! Not one 10-45 reported. I can definitely see the need for the original EMS (MCI-21) response on the 10-75. But please explain to me the need for more ems resources to respond as the fire side escalates in alarms according to fire conditions when the original first alarm EMS resource are not actively treating patients and still in a standby mode ? I can definitely see and understand the transmission of MCI -22or 23 as the patient count climbs.

Escalation or deescalating the EMS response based on the transmission of alarms by Fire Operations is not always as cut and dry as it might seem. The EMS MCI Matrix is used as a starting point and many times it is adjusted depending on conditions being reported via 911 or information from the scene. EMS response is also tailored around potential versus actual patient load in the early phases of an incident. Are some incidents more well attended than others ? Absolutely. Do we always use what's assigned to the incident ? No. The important thing is that you get what you think you will be needing based on reports via 911 or radio traffic on the road and responding. Once the full extent of the incident is established you can ask for more, 10-20, 10-2, or cancel anyone not 84. That is the part that takes knowledge, experience, information sharing and cooperation among those at the command post and the Borough CO's / EMD with the main goals being operational effectivenes as a Department and that everyone goes home in one piece.

***PRESS RELEASE***
FDNY FIRE MARSHALS ARREST SUSPECTFOR DELIBERATELY SETTING 3-ALARM BROOKLYN FIRE
The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) Commissioner Robert S. Tucker announced Tuesday that Fire Marshals arrested Cassius Moss, 54, for starting a 3-alarm fire on Wednesday, June 4th at 922 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn. Moss is accused of using an ignitable liquid to set fire to the structure.
“This reckless individual put the lives of residents and responding Firefighters at risk when he set this fire,” said FDNY Commissioner Tucker. “Thanks to the excellent work of the outstanding Bureau of Fire Investigation, this individual was arrested and will be held responsible for his dangerous act.”
Firefighters were called to 922 Lafayette Avenue for reports of a fire at 1:31 p.m. and arrived in three minutes. Units found heavy fire conditions on all three floors of the building and extension to the two adjoining structures at 920 and 924 Lafayette Avenue. The original fire building completely collapsed, and other buildings were heavily damaged. The fire took a little over four hours to bring under control and escalated to a 3rdalarm assignment, bringing approximately 138 fire and EMS personnel to the scene. One firefighter was brought to the hospital with minor injuries.
Fire Marshals responded to the scene and began their investigation. They conducted an extensive video canvas and tracked Moss from 922 Lafayette Avenue to a local deli, where he was caught on camera purchasing a bottle of accelerant. Moss then returned to 922 Lafayette Avenue, poured the bottle of accelerant onto the floor, and used a cigarette lighter to ignite the fire before leaving.
Moss is charged with multiple offenses, including Arson in the Second Degree and Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree. He was previously arrested by the Bureau of Fire Investigation for arson in July 2023. The case will be prosecuted by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office. Moss was arraigned today and remanded.
