So would the departments involved from Westchester be able to cover all of the Bronx if needed?
If not, does FDNY have a scenario where departments from further upstate, Connecticut or New Jersey cover The Bronx?
And can all of the departments at the drill provide the minimum number of firefighters required by FDNY?
(And I am not leading to volunteer deptartments must be used. I am completely leaving volunteer departments out of the equation. And, I'm okay with it. I find the pre-planning very interesting.)
Would the smaller staffed departments be delayed until they could call in off duty members? For example, Pelham only has three firefighters on duty per shift? Would they combind with Pelham Manor and send one engine or ladder?

Here we go again with this Paid vs. Volunteer nonsense. If the responding department meets all of the FDNY qualifications, it should NOT matter if the department is PAID or NOT PAID !!! (and yes, one set of standards should be required for all departments, whether or not it is a PAID Department of Volunteer). - Everyone needs to "CHECK THEIR EGO'S AT THE DOOR"
It's not ego it's reality. FDNY, if they really made the list of departments from Westchester to include, only has paid departments on the list and have skippd over volunteer departments. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. My opinion is they would be better served to ask for and get via mutual aid paid departments that they know will be staffed with trained personnel. As opposed to asking for volunteer departments via mutual aid and not knowing what they will get. It makes sense, I get it and agree with it.
My question simply is --- that in Westchester we have volunteer departments that will, possibly, (I hate pulling the 9/11 card) and probably respond to NYC. Should they not be included?
And I get that it's an FDNY run drill and they only want who they want.
-
Like I said, I know nothing about the drill except what was written. So it's a FDNY drill only for mutual aid departments that will respond to the city!?The drill has been an annual event for the last 8 years or so. What does backfilling have to do with this?
I can not assume only paid will be called (the Long Island FD's that go into Queens are not), but in Westchester's case thats what FDNY's told us they wanted and that its in their plan.
Okay!

Or All departments that meet the minimum training and staffing requirements as established by FDNY and OFPC. Since it is their drill to exersize their plan and the state mobilization plan.
I agree that whoever calls for mutual aid should get exactly what they ask for, training staffing, etc.
But, given that I do not know anything about the drill other than the article written, shouldn't the other County departments that will back fill the paid services be included and can you assume that only paid departments will be called?
-
Continuing the article "The exercise is designed “to ensure that all agencies can work seamlessly if needed at scenes of fires or other emergencies,” the DES said in a statement."
Should change it to "All paid departments".

Can someone post a link to where exactly the house was? Google maps places it right at the end of Twin Ponds between two lakes so I'm wondering why they needed 1 mile of 5" for water supply. (I'm gonna guess google maps' location is wrong?)
I was curious about the lakes as well. Bing Maps shows hte house at the end of the road.

While I think the "get the job done first, safety second" statement is absolutely ludicrous, I think what's even more ludicrous is how individuals on here have to nitpick this officers actions as if he did something so egregiously dangerous, instead of applauding him for his actions on a job well done.
DITTO!

I seem to have forgotten what VAC's have paid daytime coverage, hours, and if applicable, what is their employing agency?
Thanks!
I guess you can't just get a simple answer to a simple question.

I think those numbers are a little off. Mt. Pleasant has more apperatus then that. Also are you including the parts of Briarcliff,Chappaqua and Sleepy Hollow that are in the town of Mt. Pleasant?
Pocantico Hills and Archville also.
