According to media, it's a large fire involving multiple houses Tracking the Storm - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com . I was on the Manhattan feed, and it's hard to catch everything with all this chaos.

The New York Times reported earlier in the evening that according to the mayor, the NYC 911 system was receiving 10,000 calls every half hour, 10 times the normal volume.

Yeah, that's why I'm just "trying" to log big events in Manhattan relative to the storm from different agencies and media. Also earlier in a press conference Mayor Bloomberg said do not call 911 unless its life threatening.

It's in Queens, and its now a 5th alarm, and its not "a" structure its about 15 houses and it sounds like many are a total loss... This fire is huge, I was seeing the glow in South Brooklyn!

Wow, thanks for the update! I haven't heard Manhattan put out the 6th yet.

Any idea what had specifically started the fire? Electrical, gas, etc?

LouisvilleScanMan · #58 (**permalink**) 10-30-2012, 2:38 AM

No and I don't think they are worried about that now, they are just trying to save the neighborhood.

greater than first alarms are announced over all the fire radios. They do not "put out" the alarm. They just announce it on their frequency (and send over relocaters, obv)

To be clearer, I didn't hear it transmitted on Manhattan. I wasn't meaning they "put out" the alarm.
