  Nope, E249/L113 are closer and even E235 is closer than E219/TL105

johnd248 Thanks for keeping up on the Brooklyn fires. My Son lives in Brooklyn (I live in Washington State) and his local house is E280/l132. I was a reserve FF for 30+ years and have enjoyed this site for a couple of years now (my first post). Keep up the good work.
