Thanks. Seems to make sense.

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?

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!? Okay!

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".

Anybody else besides Banksville and Millwood?

Becasuse we don't have these in America!

I guess you can't just get a simple answer to a simple question.

Please provide the pros and cons of diesel engines vs. gasoline engines in ambulances.
