That would be across the street and down the block on the corner from 45/58, whose quarters are at 925 East Tremont Avenue. Nah, I read it wrong. The incident was at 750, 45/58 at 925 East Tremont. My mistake. Why was I not able to entirely delete the message just minutes after I had initially...

Great catch!

The dispatchers, surely wiser than I, must know what narrow streets or firehouses could not accommodate a TL.

TL46 to L55? I didn't think they did that but I guess so.

I'm not doubting that that's what you got from the ticket but 62s quarters are nearly 4 miles from this location on Burnside Avenue while those other companies I listed are in the two mile range. It's only 2 mi from Briggs Avenue for 79 also. either 79 is back on Briggs or the system is not...

2nd Alarm E-88,92,79 79 if responding from Briggs Avenue. if not, probably 45, 93, 95, or 81 next up. Any update on 79 status?

The Washington DC fire alarm telegraph system was deactivated years ago but the decorative alarm boxes remain in place for the most part. They are considered part of the history of DC and are revered by the local populace. Too bad NYC didn't have the foresight to preserve theirs.

I guess i guessed wrong.

That is my point. 75 would have been next up for the All Hands but was cancelled and diverted to 3338 because of the reports of fire at that location. Notice there was an all hands truck at 3347 (L27). But I'm just guessin'.

E75 would have been the All hands engine at 3347 I believe. Maybe they started out there but then were diverted back to their first two box, 3338. Just guessing.

A little confusing here but I'm sure there's a reason... E95, normally about sixth due, assigned first, but E75 gave the 10-75? Is E79 back on Briggs Avenue in a cage?

Mikeindabronx I believe resides in this Norwood neighborhood so maybe he can back me up here. A little local stuff on Parkside Place. It runs for just a few blocks, parallel to Webster Avenue, on an up and down slope, creating a bluff overlooking the the Metro-North line and the Bronx River...

probably not 79 from 62's quarters. more likely 75.

[QUOTE="tommyhal&oat, post: 331497, member: 84 you are correct about to even distribution across the city. but I'm not saying that "closest" is the criteria. " Closer" is my operative word. Relocate a North Brooklyn company to Fordham and backfill it from Staten Island. less time that L56 is...

There was no company closer than L83 anywhere in the city to relocate to L56, which then could have been backfilled by 83? I'll bet that's an hour haul from Staten Island to Fordham. Maybe split it up in increments?

E46? Looks like they should have been third due, but then relocated to 82, then relocated by 64. A little confusing perhaps? Also, seems a lot of ABCs in the mix lately.

As the French say, "Plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose".... The more things change the more things remain the same.

Very doubtful, based on recent responses of both companies and the great amount of work that will have to be done on that Briggs Avenue Firehouse.

Crazy Guggingham... Brooklyn born Gleason probably playing on Jewish and Irish neighborhood names.
