Two jobs in same Battalion within 5 minutes of each other and no radio communications? ???

I know Box 4440 was out in the same time frame - interesting unit assignment on this box - G'man theory at work particularly on this box!

G-Man Theory seems to be the norm these days and with the cuts that are planned it will be FDNY S.O.P.

Initial Assignment: E295, E297, E316, TL144, L129, BC46
10-75: TL138, BC50, DIV13, R4, SQ288, L154, L125 (FAST)

There were serious problems with the department radio transmissions for this and the other fire on Sanford Avenue.  TL138 should of been the FAST, arriving 3rd due, but was never notified by dispatch or via the MDT.  The same with L154.  L125 was eventually assigned as the FAST, but arrived after the fire was Under Control.

Now the assignment of L125 as the FAST truck makes some sense.

That's strange
