Staging area is E166 St and Simpson St / no such intersection, you must've heard Simpson & 163rd St.  BTW, those Queens to Bronx relocations even sound like 1977 all over again. Are we back in the 1970's ;)? ???

I even looked on map and didn't see it - figured map was wrong.  Yeah Queens is going to da Bronx. See E68 and L49 must have been pulled from the Stadium as they are responding to boxes. Yanks aren't faring too well either - down 6-0 in the top of the ninth

Does anyone know the assignment to the Yankee Game.  Last time I was at a playoff game there, they had at least three engine, two ladders, Rescue and HazMat plus an EMS contingent.

  I see that both the 1st due engine & truck [E94/L48] were not avaiable. E94 was the 10-75 engine and L48 didn't get in until the 3rd Alarm? ???

E94 was on another box, but did get in 1st due.  L48 was O.O.S b/c of problems with their brakes.  Thats why they didnt go until the third.
