I don't know how much I trust the NY Post and their sensationalism journalistic style, but I'm sure there were the some problems, given this was an unprecendented event. However, their article was mostly blamed on "claims" from the public, who, are ignorant about calltaking and dispatch operations and views that may have been skewed.
In the article, they reference people calling 911 from the mandatory evacuation zone. Really? Those people should really shut up, because they ignored the evacuation orders and then called 911 when what was told was going to happen happened. They have no right to complain.

I usually don't "buff" calls to take photos, unless it is immediately nearby or I come upon something. So, this afternoon, while going to the supermarket, I happened upon this car fire. Now, I know this is only a car fire, but since I don't buff many incidents, I'm taking this oppurtunity to share my photos.

Description Of Incident: A truck was reportedly offloading methanol and toluene in the unloading area and caught fire, which has been contained to that area. Chemical plant owned by Nexeo Solutions. Large chemical tanks heating up and venting. Smoke plume, currently stuck at 7,000 feet due to an inversion and is moving West from a 5 knot East wind, can be seen all the way into Dallas. Nexeo reports the pit is 80x80 and 4' deep with about 80,000 gallons of flammable liquid in it. No smoke/fire inside the warehouse but large number of chemicals on east side of the warehouse. No immediate reports of injuries but officials have evacuated the area in a 1/4 mile radius. Crews are having issues with water pressure. Crews are going to try and dyke the run off in the creek to keep it contained and to test the run off to see how much product is in. FAA has approved a no fly zone due to the smoke and hazardous chemicals in the air. FF's are spraying water on the surrounding tanks and in the area of the fire strictly to make an attempt at cooling them. Water is not being sprayed at the water for the fear of creating a spillover
1648 hours: Foam is not appropriate at this time due to the heavy amount of fire still showing. There will be too much run off if used at this point. Chief is reporting that it looks like it's starting to die down (hopefully) but still A LOT of fire.
1700 hours: fire is darkening down quite a bit now and as soon as it becomes more of a surface fire, they'll start foaming it.
1806 hours: About 8' of fire still showing on 1 side, shutting down water to see what they got.
1810 hours: Engine 10 is getting ready to deploy a foam blanket. Chief is trying to figure out his next course of action. The pit has vents on each side and is trying to figure out what the foam will do for them.
1818 hours: Starting water back up for foam operations.
1820 hours: Fire should be out in a few minutes but on west side of building there's some broken water pipes near the pump house that need to be shut off because they're just adding to the water run off. Engine 10 has a half tank of foam.
1822 hours: Fire is contained at this time, Dallas engines can be released but would like to keep their Hazmat. Operations are having to shut it down to fill the foam tank up again.
1834 hours: Beginning to overhaul and various Garland units can be released as well as the Dallas Hazmat and Battalion.
1839 hours: Engine 9 is loading up about 700 feet of 5 inch hose and could use some manpower to help
1908 hours: Fire is picking up a bit again and foam blanket is gone
1931 hours: Railroad can open their lines now, reports of people's bunker gear being contaminated from the fire. Most of the gear can be washed themselves but a couple pairs of gloves are going to have to be replaced or loaned.
1937 hours: Command is reporting they need about 5 pairs of gloves and about 5 more buckets of foam just in case of flare up. Fire appears to be out at this time though.
1944 hours: A few more units are being released, including the ambulance and in a few minutes the Dallas engine can be released from standby in Garland's Station 9.

I'm sick of BS bashing and bitching too but intelligent, rational discussions about critical things like the future of our emergency services need to happen. To say that a department who can't get out the door needs to address it by paying personnel or a career department needs to reduce its budget by augmenting staffing with properly trained and qualified volunteers is "bashing" is very narrow-minded.
Are there members here with an agenda? Sure, just like in every firehouse or EMS station! Get over it! We're all entitled to different opinions and if we can't exchange them without crying about it, we're never going to see anything improve. We just endured one of the most contentious elections in recent memory - at several levels, not just the presidency - but we're still all working side by side regardless of who we voted for. Why can't we simply agree to disagree, respect someone else for having a different opinion than ourselves and move on?
Seriously, political correctness and fear of offending anyone and everyone has stifled some very important dialogue. All you have to do is look at the municipal budget crises to see that we are approaching a cliff also and will soon be facing people with torches and pitchforks demanding changes and savings and accountability. If you'd rather just discuss apparatus chevrons, flashing lights, and post, and post and repost nonsense, carry on.

Increased visability without the use of additional lighting, and hopefully more safety for the crew using it. You may have to pull past a scene, and turn off your headlights to not blind oncoming traffic. With the chevrons on the front bumper, your rig is still highly visible.

I was deployed on Saturday morning (Yonkers spare L-78) at about 0900Hrs with a crew of five firefighters and did not get home until Monday morning at about 0230Hrs. We were first sent to Freeport LI and then sent to Baldwin LI. I had a great crew who was willing to do anything asked to help the people of Long Island. We responded to many calls and our relief crew actually caught a couple of structure fires.
