It's that time of year down there with dry brush...

Don't think there's a mask unit assigned on brush fire third alarms

You are corrected. Unless special called
But they were on the 3rd Alarm Ticket

West Hamilton Beach Vollies and Gerrittsen Beach Vollies also responded.

Again very unusual. Box 8480 transmitted twice in the same day.... Queens 3rd & S.I. All Hands

Again very unusual. Box 8480 transmitted twice in the same day.... Queens 3rd & S.I. All Hands

Is 8480 a park box #? Both are parks where brush fires are common.

 

[Signal73]

I believe so except in Manhattan

Not sure if still the same but years ago 8480 the Gateway Nat'l Park on the south side of the North Channel bridge and 8479 was the Gateway Nat'l Park on the north side of the North Channel bridge in Howard Beach.
