Anyone know Engine 237 status from there 10-13 last night. They were responding and they reported there rig was getting stripped and destroyed.
 
Apparently FDNY was staging equipment in Manhattan for the games. There was actually several 10-13 calls thru all 3 agencies last night. According to FireWire 237 was surrounded and couldn't respond and was being damaged and stripped. An EMS unit was surrounded and couldn't respond, and a NYPD Sgt also called in saying he was trapped in his car while it was being destroyed. All about thr same time frame and within blocks of each other's.

Hopefully the unruly fans didn’t destroy 1.5 million dollars worth of city property.
 
Correct. These sanctioned & facilitated outdoor gatherings are a new thing.

The purpose for doing it? Clearly it’s to cause mayhem. Sounds crazy, yes.
But there is no other explanation.

The purpose of a system is what it actually does.

Way back in the day when I was a vollie, my company responded one morning to an electrical fire in a floor tile supply store in a shopping center. The minor fire was in a coffee maker plugged into a wall box right next to the back door. A genius on the pumper puts it out with a dry chemical extinguisher he grabbed off the tail board. Fortunately, I got there late. When I walked in, I found every square inch of the place covered in powder. To say the owner was mad would have been a flagrant understatement.
