How did NYPD beat E3/L12 into their home box unless there was a delayed notification to FD.
This is particularly disturbing because FD is supposed to have single command at elevator emergencies.

At  one  time,  only  certain  Engine  Co.?s  were  CFRD,  now  every  Engine  is.However,  When  they  get  assigned  to  a  Box  as  ?CFRD?    they  know  that  there  assignment will  be  to  assist.  in  Medical  due  to  10 -45?s  involved,  or  on  major  accidents  with  entrapment.

There  is  also  a  CFRD  assigned  on  all  High  Rise  Bldg  fires.
