The rundown has  E 261 with CR 4,  and E 280 with CR 2.  I thought L 116 ran CR 4 and L 132 staffed CR2, not the Engine companies in the house.  Any thoughts??  Are the engines cross trained if the Ladders are unavailable?  Both ladders unavailable at the same time???

I believe E 261 was closed a few years back and L 116 is quartered by themselves.

Your are correct. E261 was definitly closed back in 2003 and L116 runs with the Collapse rig

You are of course all correct, I used my old source to find out where they are quartered and that is now out of date.

I am not sure however if 132 and 116 were available and responded with the collapse rescues or whether their backup truck was used. Maybe 150 or someone could check the rundown? There is also the issue of who was the second towerladder and I dont know if Hazmat 1 responded, althought they should be assigned on this type of collapse.

Edit: No it was not a wrong list, I put down the engine company instead of the ladder - I had the right house.
