The complex is a regular customer, we were just there today. The story on the job Chief Flynn posted is pretty much the story, it went to a 4th or 5th Alarm. I didn't work that nite, but ended up there on recall. Picked up frozen hose for 5-hours.

Q) Is there any Dutchess County Police or Fire tests upcoming? Do they encompass all the towns AND the Cities? Thanx!

Reports of a structure fire gets 4x2xR1 and Battalion standard. Reserves/spares are manned by recalled personnel. YFD tries not to hold the M/A companies longer than needed. FDNY did not respond to the job nor relocate to the Firehouses.

Interesting! How about the train crash in MV a few years back that the cars ended up in the catenaries?
