I don't doubt you, Guitarman, but that's surprising considering the population density in the area of 39th - 41st Streets with so many office buildings and hotels right there.  Any idea why that would be the case?  It can't be reliance on Rescue 1 since they'd have to negotiate over a mile of midtown traffic to get there.
