The battalion only requested one additional engine. Disp. said we have to transmit a 2nd alarm, So for that one Engine, they got 4 engines, a satellite, 2 trucks, 5 addt'l chiefs, and special units. At least, they had units to relieve the first arriving units working.

Excelllent, factual concise preliminary "by the book" by Batt 54 aide. You don't hear that every day.

WABC News showed fire out the attic window. Then two Brothers bailing to a portable with fire over their heads. Lucky indeed!

You bet, Donnie. I remember well when they once had a good job in a PD; 2 men stretched, 2 men threw the portable to the 2nd floor window and made a grab. Classic! I think possibly Commissioner Thompson's son may have been working. Didn't need a Gonzo either. :sneaky:

That's a hell of a long run for either 1st alarm truck companies. That's what gives 1st due single engines a opportunity for a unit citation if the opportunity arises.,

I wouldn't put it past them. Didn't they send a S.I. company to the Bronx a few weeks ago?:rolleyes::sneaky:

Is that lst Due Engine on the 2nd correct?? That's only about a 35 mile relocation

Someone (a member of a Bklyn company) said that the signal 10-30 is still being used (because he heard a dispatcher use it.[?]) Is it -or isn't it? It used to be a radio transmission indicating a "working fire" and assured a 2+2 response if there was less companies assigned. I was under the...

E307 not even on the ticket. Why the E92 relocation - nothing else in the area

Two cans - all hands?? seriouslY?:rolleyes::giggle:

Curious - is E299 a "must fill" company? With some of the crazy Brooklyn to Bronx relocations lately, just wondering why they couldn't just put 301 directly into 324

It was at least 5 miles from Story Ave. for TL54 2nd Due.

Thank you. Would anyone know if there was a fourth, and if so, which companies are within?

Alarms from Pull and ERS boxed are transmitted to their respective borough communications offices via hard wire.

I think there's only 3-4 buildings in the city of that construction. (268, 285, 94, ?) Does this building have landmark status, or will it be demolished?

Is that the right box? that's 85 Ave & Bell Blvd - about 2 miles east of the original box location.

Did B52 arrive first instead of B53?

Curious as to why 2nd due boat was Marine 1 when Marine 9 was much closer, unless initially unavailable.
