Leftist freaks are happy today — especially for the death.

A burned out residence and authorities know the whole story already? I don't think so.

The “2 or 3 alarms” means multiple firehouses, correct?

Damn. Must be serious.

Not necessarily——this was discussed in Slate a few years ago:

“The precise meaning of an “alarm” varies depending on the fire department. In New York City, dispatchers send out 25 units and 106 firefighters for a two-alarm fire, 33 units and 138 firefighters for three alarms, 39 and 168 for four, and 44 and 198 for five.”

The size of the Trump Tower would demand 3 alarms-—just in case.

That’s a lot of boots on the ground.

High rise, so yes, that makes sense.

Thanks, Mears...

Of course not. There are NO coincidences. Are you telling Scalia died from a “heart attack”? Seriously...

A Democrat tried to kill Congressmen at a baseball game. They are capable of anything violent.

Rand Paul would agree with you.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now is the time.

There no longer a democrat party, they are simply liberal fascists of whom some deserve to cease wasting our air.

Lets hope their security cameras loop about weekly. I’ll bet this was set by a liberal with a several day delay.

In the FDNY, 3 alarm is a heck of a lot more than 3 engine companies.

From FDNY sources:

“Third Alarm
12 engines
7 ladders
5 battalion chiefs
1 rescue
1 squad
1 deputy chief
1 RAC unit
1 satellite
safety battalion
SOC battalion
1 tactical support unit
field comm
mask service unit”

With this being a highrise there may be numerous other specialized units involved too.

The “RAC” is a rehab unit.

The “Satellite” is a 2 piece unit consisting of a 2000gpm pumper and a hose wagon with a large monitor (water cannon) mounted on it.

This describes the satellite units:

I think the article or a comment below it upped it to a 4 alarm fire.

Those apartments are not cheap. Hope it wasn’t a former Russian spy. On the other hand maybe someone was drunk and passed out with a cigarette in bed.
