Would E72 w/ Sat2 be closer?

Physically maybe ....however the Special Unit  response areas are not always predicated just on distance.

What about 296 0r 272 

 

[memory master]

296 was probably still at a deep-seated dump fire across from Speed's Airport and 272 was at the Nedicks, Main & Northern. :'(

 

[efd274]

I think the rollers on the Nedick's frank grill were on fire.  Do you remember LoBosco's salvage/junk yard over there in the Swamp?  We used to bring the excess newspapers from my newspaper route over there- at that time the Capt from E274, by the name of August Fritz, lived locally and used to take me over there on Saturday mornings when he was off - every few months or so and we would get a few dollars for the newspapers.  He used to keep a sickle in his trunk and would always stop to clear a hydrant where grass was overgrown.  An amazing role model!

 

[memory master]

LoBosco's absolutely. They also had a contracting company with heavy equipment if I'm not mistaken.

RIP Captain Fritz.  You were the best.  efd is correct - a great role model.

He certainly can't complain about not getting any action!

You are absolutely correct - he also had a daughter who was a year or two ahead of me in grammar school. I remember she had a great figure - didn't know I was enjoying eye candy at the time
