Never realize Maspeth Ave continued west of Newtown Creek. Guess I'm a Queens kid who never paid much attention to that industrial area.

That's a pretty good run for 140. I would think 176 or 108 would be ahead of them, but maybe other activity going on.

Capt. E15 didn't move the same time E17 was closed. E15 was on Henry St for the years I worked in lower Manhattan as a paramedic and TL18 and B4 were by themselves on Pitt St. That was from 1995-2002. I'm not sure what year E17 was closed, but I don't remember ever seeing 17.

It's too bad more of those old firehouse couldn't be maintained and kept as active firehouses. I was in E15's Henry St firehouse many times and just being in there and thinking about how it must have been in the horse drawn era was really cool.

One of those streets that if you're not familiar with area it can be hard to find.

E212 used to be 2nd due.

What was the staffing on Utility Unit 1?

Doug I could be wrong, but the job was 79 pl between Furmanville and JVR, which puts in closer to 80/Furmanville than it does 79 pl/Metro. I would think that from Grand Ave that 287/136 could easily beat 286/135 and 291/140 to Furmanville. Not sure the same could be said of them coming from 57...

Imagine telling someone in the 1980's that 277 would have 1 first due 10-75

I think 324, 319 and 292 should all be before 307. Maybe they were in the area clearing something else

Most of those first alarm companies probably just got washed up from the AH earlier. Busy night in the 51.

That house on 162 St must have been crazy with 275, 298, 299 and 127 all coming out of there.

Interesting, I never knew that my old neighborhood companies 286/135 were in the 37. It's also interesting to note that 277 and 112, who were then in separate quarters were in 2 different battalions.

273 & 274 tied up?

There isn't a manual release on the garage door so 55 missed the entire job?
