Continue to Rest in Peace, Brothers.

That’s crazy. 228 about 6 blocks away, straight up 39st & 240, Prospect Ave & Greenwood Ave has to go around & over the expressway to Ft Hamilton Pkwy & E 5th st & then out to 39th st. That response should be changed, in my opinion. One is less than a mile away, the other 1&1/2 to 2 miles away.

No way 240 beats 228 in, 228 much closer, unless they were elsewhere when assigned.

148 usually 1st due at MMC.

Especially from an engine Officer. LOL

True, but I saw the “normal assignment” post. That was always a 2nd due box, but moving dn to 4th avenue might have changed that.

Looks like 114’s bucket is up. 2nd due?

I first met Mike during the recovery at the WTC, always busy & supportive & easy to talk to. May he Rest in Peace.

I remember that story & I also remember 111 interchanging with 168 & them stopping at a “mob” bar(1717)on 86th st to pick up some libation & not realizing it was mob connected, walked out without paying. The next day the company was visited, thinking it was their guys & after clearing things up...

243 & 168 bangs in another one.

77 Street

As in, run to work ratio’s.

This dropping down thing is a misuse of the signal. Dropping down means more units were used, negating a 10-18. Should be used 2 engines, 1 truck or 1 engine, 2 trucks, etc. 10-18 is a specific signal. What “work” is given to the other units other that the 1st & 2nd due units when “dropping...

A number of years ago the 40 Bn Cmndr changed the response pattern for units. Putin then we, 114 & the other units would go into the block from opposite directions. In the above ost for box 2660, we’d come down 58th street from 4th ave & 109 would come up from 3rd. Ave in the direction of...

Finally some work in Brooklyn.

Quiet spell over?

240 would of been better off going straight down CI Ave, after circle, to Church Av & then make a right. Less turns & wider ave than Ft. Ham Pkwy.

I would say 247 first if not on the EMS run. They’re on 60th between 13th & New Utrech.

Rest in Peace, LT.

Would think 228 before 282 & 247 before 250, unless lithium batteries or bikes involved.
