Bronx

Gee i dont know maybe the bronx is a better borough then people let on. im mean what do you want shootings and fires every night? last time i checked this isnt Yonkers/Brooklyn. 
 
24 days without one 10-75 or multiple alarm is a long time based on past history in the Bronx - by the way the Bronx is a fine borough as I lived there briefly when I was young - and Brooklyn and Yonkers don't have Arthur Avenue either!!!
 
Theres a bronx all hands going on right this minute for a 2.5 story 20x40 private dwelling, AH on arrival.

Attention All Buffs:


Don't fret. The Bronx is alive and well with the fire duty. Many jobs not listed on this site.
 
Exchief84 still writes up tons of Bronx reports on the yahoo IA group.
Personally I haven't written anything for the Bronx lately because my new scanner doesn't actually pick up the Bronx very well despite getting SI without problem.  Go figure.
 
  Not to worry, the Bronx is busy enough and just like with the effects of "Global Warming", it's gone topsy-turvey as the 20th Battalion is getting more runs than the 14th. Go figure? ??? I just posted a job in the once  ;)"very quiet" Morris Park section.

Yeah in the last 3 hours, Bronx has had 2 fires.

BC-3 had fire in a 2 story private dwelling with extension to exposure 2, 2nd alarm transmitted.
BC-26 had fire on the 3rd floor of a 16 story multiple dwelling, all hands.
 
efd: be careful what you ask for, I opened my mouth a couple weeks ago concerning Staten Island and bad stuff happened. I'm still trying to get my foot out of my mouth.
 
Ever since the Bronx got their new radio tower reception has been terrible. so much for new and improved.

I personally have a passion for the bronx, its history, and the amount of diversity and people and everything else crammed into such a small borough compared to Brooklyn or SI or Man.

I do remember a few weeks ago i had some time off, and spent a lot of time on the bravest listening to the Bronx, and yes the reception was appalling at times, and at other times it was okay. But it was amazingly quiet!! Very, very few runs over the air of any form, however in Man and SI, which can be heard in the background on Da Bronx over The Bravest it was constant radio traffic with runs all the time, so it wasnt that i had lost the feed, it was just amazingly dead in the Bronx.

I monitor quiet a few forums and sites that list working fires etc in and around NYC, as im sure most of us do, including Gothamist Labs, that has a live feed of everything going on in NYC updated on a map every 60 seconds, and for quiet a few weeks nothing in the way of fires was announced, heard, or reported on about the Bronx.

It has picked up a bit with a couple of working fires, but still, one can listen in on the bronx, and all you can hear is the radio traffic in the background in the other boroughs, and very little in the bronx itself, which includes class 3 and other alarms, 5-7 signals, units reporting in about ems runs, and you can guaruntee, as soon as some radio traffic starts in the bronx, a SI unit cuts across it and its all garbled an cross feed static anyways!!!

Its easy to remember the old days of a few 10-75s and over a day, and compare it, but like everything else, things change, patterns change, and comunities change, i have only been an FDNY Buff for about 6 years, not long compared to a number of older timers on these forums an groups, and in that time, i have noticed a downturn in fire activity in Bronx, and a not so noticable change in Man, but in my view Brook has remained steady, i think largely due to its size, but i might be wrong.

On the opposite end of the scale, i like to see what goes on in Yonkers, and just going by the working fires announced on a couple of forums, there are companies like E303 and E306, who over the last 2 months  have done about 8-what would be in the FDNY, 10-75's or greater each!, with E306 been first due on a lot of them. I know its difficult to compare two Depts so different in size, but the distance between the Bronx and Yonkers is almost negligable. maybe a strong gust of wind to blow some of those workers south over the border!!!!
