Border box between 28/11 and 15/18

If 15/18 go up the wrong way they get there first.

Believe 15 was in traffic on the bridge.

Think B1 is a ABC

111 even relocating into Manhattan now. Also, could be wrong but I think the last few jobs TL18 would have been first due to they haven’t due to being on other runs. Seems like once again.

“{ FDNY BOX 0297 ~ MANHATTAN }”…..”{ FDNY BATTLING A 10-77 HIGH RISE FIRE IN A MULTIPLE DWELLING ON BARUCH DRIVE ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE AREA OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY }”…..

And 112 also relocating to Manhattan at the same time. Gotta question that decision.

That sucks if 15/18 missed it.

Question: I looked at the aerial photos of these buildings. 200 feet long. It appears there are 4 sections per building. When they say, “One staircase in the building”, are they referring to just one of the 4 sections?

Been a very long time since I was there but if I remember correctly each "building" comprised two addresses. This one was 80/90. The one closer to Houston is 110/120. I believe each address had a separate lobby but the hallways were interconnected above. Twoteamtease or someone more current can correct me if I am not remembering correctly. I do recall wrought iron lined paths and squeezing 11's rig thru the maze to get the aerial to remote windows. Don't remember 18 beating us into either of those addresses...lolol. Stay safe.

Don - its been awhile since i worked in the area.

And youre right - 80-90 Baruch drive we would not go that far up the wrong way. I was thinking of Baruch Drive closer to Delancey Street we would go up the wrong way.

100 percent correct on the stairs - the buildings are interconnected meaning you could find a standpipe and use it to stretch if the apartment was closer. Although I thought each address had its own staircase. Smokeeater405 will have a better answer

Great to see the 4th Battalion companies getting some good fire duty. With all the nonsense they run around on they deserve more

On another note - 25 year anniversary of L-133

Congratulations!

They have a nice flyer set up for a raffle - I never knew the bulk of their original members were LES guys! Multiple 11 truck guys, 3 truck, 9 truck and 33 engine

@doneleven @twoteamtease
You are both correct men!! Baruch Drive is a disaster currently with them building seawalls the west side now has six foot plus walls and they are adding additional 5 foot fencing making it impossible to supply the buildings but that’s a topic for another day!
