SQ8, E166, E168, E158, E163
T086, L083, L084F, TL85
R5, SQ1
BC22, 23
DIV8

SI to BC22: TL85 is the TL

DIV8 reports they’re using an in-house deck gun and their crane to sift through debris.

RCL · Sunday at 9:13 PM

Stupid question. What's the pit?

SI1075 · Sunday at 9:25 PM

I believe E152 and Foam 152 are on any initial ticket at visy paper. 167 and F167 used to be but they moved their foam to Queens

It is a pit where the paper is being processed for recycling. Not sure of what actually occurs in it.

The pit in that building is an area where the processing of all the crap that gets dumped in there from trucks. It’s a huge area loaded with paper and whatever other assorted crap gets brought there and a big claw type crane (think arcade games where you’re trying to pickup some prize) picks it up and puts into different areas for sorting and processing.

Many of the fires at Visy Paper and other recycling companies occur because of improper disposal of Lithium Ion batteries.

You're probably correct. That place is dangerous to all who have to be in or around it. Been there numerous times.

Darrell · Monday at 1:15 PM

Found it, 4/26/20, Three Calls in 4 Hours during the 6x. And another one two weeks later on 5/13. And another the next month.
