Fast truck, extra truck on all hands, relocators sent to job, specially called trucks above certain alarm for overhaul etc.. Let alone just catching a busy streak for an area that may not be traditionally considered “busy”. There are more and more companies all at same jobs in my opinion...

Great compilation of stats. Keep up the great work!! Goes to show that with the additional engine and truck on all hands and special calls for trucks has a lot of companies all at the same jobs. Go from zero to very low first due for February or year to date but shoot to top for total jobs...

Outside of E-151 B-23 companies used to relocate regularly. Following a bad fire few years ago stopped most relocations for those companies and will fill vacancies with relocators when companies are OOS for medicals/education day/training. Makes sense for better coverage in light of big...

Easily 151-76 1st due box

The 60-70’s entire neighborhoods throughout the city were laid to waste. Blocks and blocks that used to be packed with people were burned out and then leveled. Brick farms everywhere. Mid 80’s the developers started moving in and building. “Gentrification” was the bad buzz word. But the city...

There were many reasons(financial mainly) and ways developers came up with the overall height of a building and the amount of stories a building was considered. To save money or comply with existing laws at time of construction. But I agree that what the developers and Buildings department...

guess the 14 Division wanted a Chief quickly in each of the buildings as this fire rapidly progressed and he took over IC That was B-28 in exposure 4
