Should be E 271/L124's home box.

Also need  correction on who gave the 10-75: probably L 124 or L 112; not L 122.

Gene,  we might  go to that box on the fifth but even that I would doubt.  we respond into upper  Ridgewood  { Forest Ave,  Fairview Ave } on the 2 alarm to some boxes, but from past jobs in that area I would have to say we won't go.

Thanks Lonewolf - it's interesting how some of this works out - you're certainly close enough - pretty funny that E299/E286 gets in there

efd274............On the map it looks to be not that far.  If you look at all the engine companys that responded from the 1st thru 4th alarms, there are a total of 9 single engine companys that are assigned. That is the area of nowhere land for truck companys. The 10-75 and 2nd alarm trucks are from queens. If TL 124 & L 112 catch a job anywhere in that area they are by themselfs for a while. On the third alarm 103 act 112 was assigned.along with 111. As stated before by other members and I totally agree with them, there is a big shortage of truck companys for the upper Bushwick , lower Ridgewood border.
