Engine 16 dispatched along with Engine12 to back up Engine 11 on what was supposed to be a dumpster fire. Battallion 3 requested two more Engines after he arrived on scene to find that it was a construction dumpster on fire. Oh but it gets better, The construction dumpster was still sitting on the back of the truck!
Engine 16 is a 1989 E- One Hurricane. It has a 1500 GPM pump and is carrying 1000 gallons of water.

  • Foam is a waste of ...

    Foam is a waste of money on a dumpster fire. Besides, the most common foam, AFFF, isnt not effective on Class A fires or fires with un even surfaces. It works by producing a thin layer or film and surpressing flammable liquid vapors, thus extinguisher a fire, hence the name, Aquious Film Forming Foam. or A Triple F as its known in the fire service.

  • After 9-11 happened ...

    After 9-11 happened, our sister station, Station 55 Emlenton PA, sponsored FDNY station 55 in "Little Italy", that lost 5 guys in the WTC collapse, and I asked their LT. that same question and what he said was the origins of that were suppose to be because it is the Fire Department of New York City instead of New City Fire Department, hence the FDNY, as opposed to the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Thats the best I can help you with and hoped that answered your question.
