And closed firehouses over the years. Doing more with less is what we have historically been great at. Unfortunately its sometimes to our long term detriment.

Should be about 5000 firemen 1 block north right now lol

I swear every time i listen, it cuts out right as a job comes in. Happened with the bronx constantly. Maybe im bad luck lol

39/16 coming off another run? Thats like a block and a half from them.

68 was 5th due and now doesnt go on a 3rd alarm? Seems odd. BARB to the rescue again lol

68 on a run initially, heard Bx calling but it cut out after.

Tillers cant pull the ems rigs

Unfortunately mileage and closeness still dont have as much to do with the responses as they should (speaking generally, not sure about this box). Companies still go before others for a multitude of reasons, many not valid. Ill leave it at that.

Ok that makes sense, tanx.

They operated. They werent 10-8.

49 was at the 4th, unsure when they eventually went.

Initial ticket was 92 42 19 49, wasnt able to hear what happened after that.

Finding an engine to supply them? Thats on a better main, with an unfrozen hydrant, with the manpower to drag the hose potentially hundreds of feet, with snow banks blocking access to all of the above? Just a thought.

1st and 2nd due structural runs companies can be redirected at the discretion of the dispatcher.

wow. Alrighty then. You win, im out.
