FDNY Battles Massive Greenpoint Brooklyn 10 Alarm Fire

Fifteen buildings in the Greenpoint Terminal Market were hit by the fire. The Fire Department used eight to nine million gallons of water during their work, and since there was no "immediate threat to life," the fire became a sort of clinic for the department to "plan strategy,"
The assistant fire chief says that the fire is finally control, but they will continue to extinguish "deep pockets of fire" through the night. The length of the fire so far? One day, 11 hours and 36 minutes (the first reports were around 5:30AM yesterday

@SPKaa What we call in NYC..."Jewish Lightning"...
-
8 or 9 million gallons just as well they had a river to draught from then as always with FDNY great work
-
Every alarm after the initial response gives you 4 engines and 1 ladder but the chief on scene can special call what ever units he needs
-
Holy shit 10 alarm fire !!! How many trucks respond to that? All of the FDNY?

@devildoc225 I think the landlord started this fire. His name is Joshua Guttman. He tried to have the area rezoned, and was denied - mainly for being a slumlord on his other properties so publicly it was in the NYT. Shortly thereafter, the whole place burned down. If curious, google 247 Water St. for his hijinks with illegal tenant harassment.

@Robert111 Actually there is. An alarm is used in the fire service to denote the need for resources. Each alarm has units that come with it. That particular fire was so large they did not attack with hand lines, but rather master streams from boats and ladders. In order to get all these units the number of alarms has to increase. For example 1 alarm gets 2 ladders, 3 engines, a battalion cheif, and a rescue. The number depends on where though, spain may have different numbers.
