Thank you Bulldog

[FDNY150]

Just an FYI, Engine 46 did NOT respond on the Box, they were out of service Mechanical. They went back into service and were assigned on the 2nd Alarm.
Both 92 and 44 went to the job. Almost forgot, E-262 and IMT were NOT returned by Field Comm, they were returned by the Bronx Dispatchers.

Folks, as a long time lurker and poster on a number of boards, get your facts straight before you type, or cut and paste from some other board.

E92 was at the Fire and they misssed a good job at Sheridan & McClellen. I saw old man Driscoll at the fire.

They missed a good job but got an even better job

[dillondotcom]

No. They missed a good job.  The job they were at was a surround and drown job, no fun.  The other job was a really good inside job.
