Broad Channel, Hamilton Beach and Howard Beach, all have similar roads. Un marked, barely marked or you have to get lost to find it. I forget the names off hand but theres more then yould think.There is no street sign for Bert Rd. It's also not paved. Looks like a driveway.
Not happeningI get that R4 currently has all of QNS but when you look at the maps this certainly looks to me like it should be an R2 box. Similar to how R5 got some boxes from R2, it seems like R2 should be taking some of R4's boxes particularly after the move Eastward.
From what I understand, the Rescues are very territorial. With a few limited differences basically each rescue covers their Boro. Doesn't matter if 1 is already on the road or 10 minutes closer.I get that R4 currently has all of QNS but when you look at the maps this certainly looks to me like it should be an R2 box.

Respectfully, I see where you're both coming from, but neither of these are good answers. At some point, someone, maybe an FF, will urgently need help in Broad Channel - how can the FD defend not sending the closest available resources? No reason R2 couldn't respond here among the other 'few limited differences', i.e. R5 to South BK, R3 to Harlem, etc, there's already a precedentFrom what I understand, the Rescues are very territorial.

Didn't say it was right, and I've had this conversation with people i worked with.( theres more then a few sogs in my old dept with my name associated with it for similar things) People dont care what the number is on the side of the truck, the name or slogan or anything else. All they care about is someone showing up to deal with the problem.Respectfully, I see where you're both coming from, but neither of these are good answers.

There was a call not too long ago where 4 was in Manhattan coming back thru the tunnels and R2 was assigned a Queens box. 2 had them beat all day. R4. Our boro our call. R2 went 10-8.
And R4 already has Brooklyn boxes in GreenpointRespectfully, I see where you're both coming from, but neither of these are good answers.

There's a few cracks forming here and in the theory. But dont expect major changes.And R4 already has Brooklyn boxes in Greenpoint
