FDNY Shift Schedule

[Styk97]

Can anyone tell me what FDNY shifts are? I cant find the info anywhere. And was very curious as to what they work. Thanks

[E40FDNYL35]

Every Fireman is given a Group # 1-25

* 72 HOUR LEAVE
( )48 HOUR LEAVE

Monday(1)-(2)-3*-4-5-6

[FFMcDonald]

I am completely lost--- is there a more simple explanation...

[explr985]

I'm as confused as a baby racoon.

[PFire23]

If I'm understanding what Ray has posted then ...

* 72 HOUR LEAVE
( )48 HOUR LEAVE

(1)-(2)-3*-4-5-6
16*-17*-18*-19-20-21

Groups 1 & 2 are on 48 hour leave, Group 3 is on 72 hour leave, Groups 4,5 & 6 are on the clock, Groups 16, 17 & 18 are on 72 hour leave and Groups 19, 20 and 21 are on the clock.

This would apply in the same way to the other sets of Group numbers given. I'm not sure I have understood this correctly though. If you look at the group of numbers you will see that they rotate through the day off schedule, while 1 & 2 were on 48 hour leave in the first set, Groups 4 & 5 are on it in the next set, the pattern continues in each subsequent set of Group numbers. I am also assuming here that each Group of numbers that Ray has posted represents a 24 hour period, but that is merely an assumption.

Am I understanding your post correctly Ray?

[E40FDNYL35]

PFire23 yes and no. The top #'s are a day tour 9AM till 6PM a 9 hour tour and the bottom #'s are night tours 6PM till 9AM a 15 hour tour


Styk97 your in group 1
FFMcDonald your in group 2
PFire23 your in group 3
Tom your in group 4
Dick your in group 5
Harry your in group 6
and so on till all the groups are taken. Then you could have double groups but we wont get into that yet...

No. The numbers displayed are all the groups working any given tour. The * and () are representative of the amount of leave immediately following that given tour. In the above example, groups 1-6 are working the day tour and 16-21 the night tour. You work 2 day consecutive day tours followed by 48 hours off, then 2 consecutive night tours followed by 72 hours off. Occasionally, you get 72 hours off after your 2 day tours.

[UsingAllHands]

P.S. groups 7-15 and 22-25 aren't working that day at all.

I don't want to speak for him but I think this may be what the original poster was looking for since you guys don't work a 24/48 ABC system like many (most?) depts.

As far as your shift system, how many weeks of probie school are needed to learn this?

[ff7134]

I'll stick to my 24/48's. I have always wondered how your guys schedule worked..thnks Bro's

I'd have to have a COJ circle the days I had to work on a calendar for me.

Here goes, we just had to be diffrent. We have 3 platoons (1,2,3), so it works like this,

Monday-1
Tuesday-2
Wednesday-3
Thursday-1
Friday-2
Saturday-3
Sunday-2
Monday-3
Tuesday-1
Wednesdat-2
Thursday-3
Friday-1
Saturday-2
Sunday-1
Monday-2
Tuesday-3
Wednesday-1
Thursday-2
Friday-3
Saturday-1
Sunday-3
Monday-1

Each platoon gets a long weekend every three weeks, so Monday through Thursday is 24/48 and Fri-Sun are 24/24.

RAY, ONE NEEDS TO BE AN ENGINEER TO FIGURE OUT THAT SCHEDULE LOL!

A late Merry Xmas and from the engineers (in training) world to yours:

1. No known species of reindeer can fly, but there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer, which only Santa has ever seen.

2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world, but
since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.

3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the
different time zones and the rotation of the Earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.

4. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly
distributed around the Earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household, a total trip of 71.604 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding etc. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle on Earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

5. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element.
Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized Lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that flying reindeer (see point # 1) could pull ten times the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for
comparison, this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.

6. 353,430 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air
resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as
spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of
reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion - if Santa ever did deliver presents on Christmas Eve,
he's been vaporized by now.

Thats called a Kelly schedule and thats what most departments use. Thats what I have now, with Friday Kelly's.

[Dave1983]

Wait! You mean Santa isnt real??? But I tracked him on NORADS website and the government never lies. I guess your going to tell me theres no Easter Bunny either...

Dave

PS: 24/48's rule!!

[SAFD46Truck]

damn that schedule looks complicated

But I guess you get used to it huh? Just the same I'll stick to 24/48's with built in OT instead of Kelly days.
