worked at eng 154 many times and have always wondered why they dont get any of these boxes off the west shore expy..... strait run on the highway

this is about as remote from a firehouse as any in the city

why does engine 159 and the sat. always go on all 10-75

324/SAT*4 used to do the same so they could be on the scene early if needed.....they were stopped after the number of responses actually made far outweighed the times the SAT was used..... they now go on the Second  if they are at one of their 1st 2nd or 3rd due boxes 291 picks up the SAT.

I believe they actually go when the All Hands is transmitted - not on the 10-75 transmission

I ment All Hands.  thanks for the help on the question

It's easy to confuse as E72/Sat responds on 10-75 and greater signals to City Island and Riverdale (west of Broadway and north of 231st St) while E159/Sat responds on the All Hands
