I swear every time i listen, it cuts out right as a job comes in. Happened with the bronx constantly. Maybe im bad luck lol

39/16 coming off another run? Thats like a block and a half from them.

68 was 5th due and now doesnt go on a 3rd alarm? Seems odd. BARB to the rescue again lol

68 on a run initially, heard Bx calling but it cut out after.
