  17. Again, I'm just a tenement Fireman with extremely limited hi-rise experience. I agree with your notion that a fire one floor below the top floor would most likely need a lot less trucks than for a fire which is numerous floors below the top floor. Help me to understand though...if FDNY pulls up to a hi-rise fire with fire showing from windows on the 20th floor of a 21 story building, are you saying that this would be only an all hands assignment? My assumption was that this would not only be an automatic 10-76 or 10-77 but that it would most likely be an automatic 2nd alarm as well? This is an area where most of us in the fire service have limited real world expertise. My knowledge of hi-rise firefighting is gleaned almost entirely from reading and seminars (including reading all that FDNY has to offer on the subject). In Yonkers, with our limited manpower, I believe this would go immediately to a second alarm, and probably very quickly to a third...any fire on the 20th floor has the potential to be wind driven / pressurized...potential for problems with elevators, water supply, reverse stack effect, etc., etc., and this is not to mention that we shouldn't assume that if fire is showing on the 20th floor from the street that is the location of the main body of the fire. Of course, comparing "alarms" from one department to another is apples to oranges, but I'm really surprised to hear an FDNY member make this all sound so simple and routine.
