E305 just returned to Queens from Manhattan Box 259

And I saw TL44 bringing down a stokes basket in their bucket after recovering the body of a missing elderly tenant that was found dead on the top floor.

TL44 in Chinatown ??? ??? ???

Yes, and E217 was also there. Bear in mind, these units were sent in to relieve and also note there were compasnies from all over including Queens at the fire like: TL146/TL18, L30/L3, TL14/TL7,L154/TL1, TL163/TL7 and E258/33

Does anyone know when the last piece of FDNY equipment cleared the job?

Watch lines are a common thing for large fires.  Some can go for a few weeks.  It depends on what the Marshalls need because we still control the building as long as we have units operating.
