On Monday night, Ladder 27’s senior man Matt Zimpfer, worked his last tour of an outstanding 24 year career. Over the past year and change of hanging out at 46/27 I have learned so much from Matt’s about fighting fires and any other random question I had but most importantly I took a lot of knowledge from how stand up of a human he is. Before I left that night, Matt said I appreciate you as he normally did, but I’ve said it before to him, it doesn’t amount to the amount that I appreciate him. Day in and day out, continuously making me feel apart of and welcome. Thank you Matt for everything.

Tonight at approximately 9:45pm just off W Burnside Ave & Jerome Ave in the Bronx, a 2nd alarm was transmitted in quick succession from the initial 10-75. The fire was in a barber shop which was located on a row of single story “tax payer” building types. First arriving companies went right to work and contained the fire preventing the spread of the fire. FDNY EMS units were requested forthwith for a civilian with severe burns.

This was an incredibly busy day for the borough of The Bronx as this was the 3rd multiple alarm fire to take place.

As a photographer and someone who loves looking at photos from previous generations of the FDNY, I’m here for the yellow tanks.

This week FDNY started a field test of 2 SCBA candidates for future Department use, the Draeger Air Boss and the MSA G-1. Only a select few companies in The Bronx and Queens will be operating using these systems with extensive evaluations to follow before a decision is made down the line.

Last night at roughly 10:15pm, Bronx Fire Dispatch received multiple calls regarding a fire at a Deli in Fordham Heights, Bronx. Quickly after arriving, a 2nd alarm was transmitted by Battalion 19 for heavy fire in a row of storefronts known as Taxpayers. Initial reports were that some sort of incendiary device or Molotov cocktail was thrown into the store although I cannot confirm that. Within minutes FDNY Fire Marshall’s were on scene beginning to conduct their investigation and interviewing people who may have witnessed something. A store worker suffered severe burns to his face and body and was rushed to Jacobi Hospital per ABC7NY reports.

What many people don’t see during these large operations is the amount of moving parts and different areas of the FDNY all working together. Chiefs from Safety Battalion to Rescue Operations, Fire Dispatchers, Robotics, Command Tactical, Field Communications, Fleet Services, RAC Units, FDNY EMS, Firefighters and many more. It takes everyone working together to support those Members of the Engine and Ladder companies who enter the dangerous conditions within the building. Everyone plays a major role in a well oiled machine.
