Ok, so if R2 can get to the Rockaways faster than R4, make it R2's response area and they won't have to leave their response area to get there. I cannot follow the logic of not sending the fastest unit - imagine telling someone "oh yes you badly need help but we're going to wait 5 or 10 extra...

Would you also say that 5 shouldn't come over to the 40/42/43 on the same principle?

Overheard an exchange on this call which I found hard to understand. I know there are a lot of dispatchers and current and retired members on here who could perhaps provide their thoughts. The exchange went like this: QNS to D13, R4 is still in Manhattan returning so we've assigned R2. D13 to...

Some units: BN27 D7 SQ61 SOC Dewatering SOC Logistics SOC Compressor TSU1 RB01

I know Google maps isn't perfect but interestingly at the moment it shows both R2 and R5 would be faster into Rockaway beach / Breezy point area than R4

Does Rescue 2 have any Queens boxes? If not, is there a good reason why not? Unless I'm missing something, looks like R2 is closer than R4 to basically all the Rockaways, no?

L142 VSU

A little back and forth on this one... D1 transmitted the AH but Manhattan advised they didn't have sufficient units to give an AH (1&1). I think they ended up holding with E5/L7 and the special units.

Any idea why RAC1 is OOS? Seems to be common lately?
