*EARLY ARRIVAL* FDNY MAJOR RESPONSE - Second Alarm Box 1319

At around 4:30 Saturday afternoon, the New York City started to receive calls of a building fire at box 1319 on 3rd Avenue at 109th Street. Due to reports, the box was loaded up, sending Rescue 1 and Squad 41. Ladder 43 arrived very shortly after, as their station was just a few blocks away, and gave the 10-75 for a fire on the top floor. Soon after, based on 43s report, an incoming chief decided to upgrade to a second alarm, consisting of only tower ladders for the trucks. Units made quick work of the fire in a defensive mode, with 3 tower ladders in operation. The fire was put under control quickly and most of the special operations units for the second alarm were released prior to their arrival. Units began returning to service and no injuries have been reported.
