2 early morning fires which I'm surprised that nobodies mentioned on here that occured @ the same time yesterday morning (17th).

Approx 0300hrs - 521 Halsey Street, Box 884
Div-15 had a fire in the bulkhead which extended to the cockloft of a 4 story 50x80 OMD, 4-LSO with 2 tower ladders special called above the 2nd alarm.

At the same time - 967 Flatbush Ave, Box 1554
BC-41 had a fire in a 3 story 20x60 furniture store/OMD above, 1-LSO, fire quickly K/D & went PWH.

Odd thing was, when BC-37 10-75'd the Halsey Street box, the dispatcher read out the Flatbush Ave address & box number by mistake, 5 minutes later, that box was a 10-75 also.

I guess that's why Brooklyn is STILL often referred to as "The Boro of Fire". Not too many other places get TWO jobs going at the same time these days. "Gotta love that Brooklyn".

 Two days earlier (5/15), two jobs, and a Rescue Job going on, all at the same time. "Yeah, you still catch it Brooklyn".
