10-18 is a specific signal, no need to say”dropping down”.

Exactly.

I wonder if this “old” transmission, “Drop the Box” will start be used like the use of “ dropping down to a 10-18” by some? Still would like to know how many units were being used prior to “dropping down”? Post is meant for input/comments.

I would think L109 before L147.

So as I questioned earlier, it is still based on medical leave, & nothing about budget cuts. So now when LOD medical leave goes up, what’s the city’s next move, close companies?

I just remember it happening when sick leave went up too high. Wonder what union got in return?

Out awhile, is that in the UFA contract?

Congratulations on your retirement. Enjoy a long & healthy one.

Rest In Peace, Mike. Glad I knew you & your sense of humor & love of the job & friendship to our good friend, Mike Burke.

Box 2638 trivia: 33-2638, 11/6/73 for a lumberyard on 5th Av, 63-64 streets. The day of the strike & had just ended shortly before box came in.

148 is 1st due at all the 1480’s boxes up their way. Had much work up in those apartment houses, years ago.

168 was originally assigned as the extra truck, but 148 told dispatcher they were on Ft. Parkway, possibly from a previous box in the 50’s & was assigned & 168, told to go 10-8. 40 was up from same box because they requested a size up from 241.

Some of the same companies as the 728 job. Good night for them.

Wonder where 105 was? 219 on the 3rd.

Met Tom when I did a vacation or two in 108, a real nice guy/gentleman & we had a mutual acquaintance. My old Lieut in 114 was Dan Marshall, who became the Capt. of 43 truck & Tom was his Lt. Marshall was also a firefighter in 108 before getting promoted to Lt. Rest In Peace, Tom.🙏

247 is between 13th Ave & New Utrecht Ave.

Usually once an extra 1+1 is requested, the dispatcher transmits the all hands.

2nd alarm on E3rd rundown shows 105 acting at job.

157 might have been relocated to 114.

Wonder where 105 was? Tough to miss a job.
