Was this at the Queens Surface bus garage?

Originally came over as 1 & 1 for a Class 3. L130 arrived first, followed by E273. E273 transmitted the Box after L130 gave a report of smoke throughout the movie theater. Units in the area were taking up from a separate Box in Whitestone and were assigned. E273 gave a 10-75 a few minutes later for fire in the marquee of the College Point Multi-Plex Movie Theater. One 1" 3/4 line stretched off E273.

Assignment: E273, E295, E274, L130, L129, BN46, TL138F, R4, SQ288, BN53 (10-75), DIV14

BN52, E297, TL144 were all relocated to the Bronx for the 2nd Alarm they had there.

Considering the weather it did not take the 46 Battalion very long to go 10-84. I am sure their route was the Long Island Expressway to the Van Wyck and exit at Linden Place. 8-10 minutes tops in the bad weather.

It's the AMC theatres. It's on your left hand side as you're going north on the Van Wyck, just before the exit for Linden Place.
