It would appear that the fire was in the area between the beauty supply store & the 7 sty building

Not sure if this was a factor with units arriving, but the 50...E275, 303 and L133 and 126 all have (or used to have when I was there) their multi-unit drill close by on Sunday mornings.  Just off Beaver Road and Liberty.  Might have contributed to who got in first.

Just a bit of trivia...box 9876, located at 162 street & Jamaica Ave. used to be the home box for "The Big House" (275-298-299-127-50) which was just off Jamaica Ave. on 162 street.

If I remember correctly, 1 block north, L125, E315 were both 2nd due, unless DOITT changed responses.
