Please keep posting your run downs, because the first thing I do is scroll past the original rundown to read yours. I know you generally have accurate info that you hear and not what you read off of another site or app.

I rarely ever post in rundowns of fires because I no longer live in NYC and can't listen any longer. Signal has been posting accurate run downs for a very long time and his rundowns are more reliable and easier to read. Queens-Buff if you want to post too, you're free to do so, but don't get...

I think there was an unstaffed reserve engine in TL18's quarters through the 90's if that was your question.

Is XR2 the medic unit attached to R2? Are they in an ambulance? Are they only for firefighter injuries?

Chief, from what I remember growing up in the neighborhood is that the 59 was in 319 but the 46 stayed at 287/136. Do you think it would have lightened the load more if the 46 had moved to either 289/138 or 307/154?

Is 251 a 5 man engine?

With regards to Roosevelt Island, does FDNY send an assignment any time the lift bridge is up? It really is surprising that there isn't an engine company quartered on the island with the amount of inhabitants there are. Looking at 260 run numbers, they are consistently busier than any of the...

I don't know what Hazle Twp is like now, but I can say that 5 or so years ago when I spent some time there, they always had crews in quarters and usually were out the door on dispatch with an engine and a truck (tower).

Surprised this only got an ambo from Claymont. I thought NCC, DE sent multiple units on boxes in Marcus Hook.

Truly amazing how much the area changed in the late 90's. I started working down there in 95 and we were in squatter buildings daily. By 97 everything was transformed and young women were walking their dogs in Tompkins Square Park.

I knew about the make up of the area with rear tenements and projects along with OLT and NLT. I worked in the area as a paramedic in the 90's and early 2000's. At the time I worked there I did not realize that E5 St had burned down and was rebuilt with those 3 story rows. I thought they had...

It's been a while since I was in Alphabet City. Were there 5 and 6 story tenements where the 3 story brick row houses are? Did they all burn in the 70's and 80's?

First due box for R2?

Wow! 141 failed to respond? They're one of the most squared away departments in that area. Surprised to see they failed on a first due fire.

Are their respective 89's changed to the Rescue company's firehouse and they respond when the rescue responds?
