Rescue 1 & Ladder 43 Roof making the climb at 3rd alarm Box 1233.
08.15.2025 - Upper East Side, Manhattan - Shortly after 10am Manhattan fire alarm dispatchers began receiving numerous calls for fire from the roof at 305 East 95th street. As units were responding, the box was loaded up due to the quantity and quality of these calls. Engine 53, first due, noticed a large column of dark smoke billowing over 2nd avenue as they made their way to the fire. They quickly transmitted a 10-75 and got to work. A 2nd and 3rd alarm were quickly transmitted as fire extended into multiple apartments & the cockloft.
The second due engine, Engine 22, was assigned to an EMS call for a person with a paper cut shortly before the fire came over & were not permitted to respond in. This delayed getting the first line into operation. The first due truck, Ladder 43, was at another incident and was responding from a distance.
