2/5/25 Manhattan 4th Alarm Box 1588

Seems unusual that E 47 on the West Side on W 114th Street does not go at all. Not all that far from the fire, compared to some responding units.
 
CIDS: (updated 12/26/2013) Yeah that explains why its wrong. Doesn't CID's have to be updated regulary??
Exposure CIDs very hard to keep track of every building in NYC. At least the CIDs has the fence on there.
 
Ladder pipe looks pretty effective. Makes you wonder why they don’t use it more.
I think just because a dept. like ours already has 1-2 TLs on the box normally so this is reserved for special cases or when it’s not possible due to apparatus positioning to get a TL in place. Other depts. without TLs, which seem to be a lot of the country, as you said, can use this just as effectively. Just my opinion
