Is Battalion 22 re-located? About an hour ago he went 10-9 at "Ladder 79 and the original 22"

From the previous post, apparently BC22 returned on April 8th.

   I happen to have a 77 year old version of the assignment for that box. . There have been a couple of big fires on that box including the Dec. 31, 1946 fire where Engines 20 and 25 were disbanded and taken out of service while still at the fireground. Also, the big Wannamaker warehouse fire in 1956.

Is the fire on all floors or just top floor and 1st floor restaurant?

D-1 one says fire in both wings - is this an H building?  The size-up just shows 6 Story 200 x 175, I'm wondering where the two wings came from.

Per the division, the fire originated in the restauran on the first floor. Looks like it spread throughout the building all the way to the roof via the ductwork and left some fingerprints in multiple apartments on several floors...

OK - thanks for the reply - A bit confusing as the initial reports had the fire in two apt. and the conkloft, I thought it strange that it went to a 3rd and higher for two apt. and roof - usually a 2nd with a few TL handle that.

The division did say he has fire in "both wings".

Building looks like an H-type

OK - thanks for that.  I wish our great video/pic guy was there.
