YOU'RE WRONG SOHO! It should be E95, E81, E93, L36, TL46, Bn13

 

[SoHoTruckin20]

it was only a question not saying i knew it hence the question marks

 

[MP1234]

yea relax, he was just asking a question

95, 81, 93, didn't see the 4th engine.
46 got in first due as 36 was a few blocks away at another box. 52(FAST)
45 Truck was an additional truck.
Batt 13, 19, Div-7
R-3, Sq-41
The fire was in 1E, and I think got into a few other apartments.
2 10-45's that I counted before I got too cold and went home.
I was driving home from work and got into the box with 95,81 and 46.
Got some nice pictures too.
Didn't see 75 or 33. Must have gotten special called as I was leaving or after I left.

FDNY150 would 43 Engine be 4th due coming over the 207 bridge or 67 Engine comming up because ive seen on other 10-75 in the recent years up there its been a mix up but more of 43 Engine

Most likely E52 is 4th due at 1830 especially if L52 was fast.

 

[FDNY150]

Just got back from the office, checked out the assignment, and what the actual card says.
95,81,52,93.
36,46,52,45,59,33

This was another box where in my opinon the assignment is messed up.
75 was assigned as the additional engine, ahead of 43 and 79. I can't argue with being ahead of 79, but, ahead of 43, I don't think so. I believe they are also ahead of 48, and that's kind of a "6 on one hand" assignment. Regardless of time of day and how fast they turn out of quarters, 43 will blow the doors off of 75 getting in there.
PS this was a pretty snotty lookin job from first glance. I was coming off the Harlem River Drive, up towards 10th Avenue, and saw the smoke behind 36Truck as they were turning the corner for a run in the projects. I passed 36 as they stopped and thought it was an oil burner on 218. Then I caught a whiff of it and was like, nope, that's a job. PS Mac, I was looking for you.

 

[SoHoTruckin20]

why so many trucks?

 

[mac8146]

FDNY150 missed this one and the card you listed is correct, 52 goes down to about 215th 3rd due. It is odd that 43 has boxes in this area but then is skipped on certain ones. Wish I knew how 75 can pass 43's quarters enroute to this box and others.

 

[FDNY150]

I think both of us know how that could have happened. As far as so many trucks, this was a pretty big building with fire on more than one floor. Lots of searching for extension, overhaul, and relief. I was convinced when I pulled up this was gonna go to a second.
