Any idea why TL175 was FAST before 107 or 173?

 

[FDNY150]

Too far north for either 107 or 173. 175 has a straight run right across Atlantic Avenue.

 

[efd274]

Don't disagree it's a straight run for TL 175 but 107 is definitely closer.

 

[FDNY150]

According to the assignment card, 175 is third due truck, 107 is 4th due. Looking at the map, 107 is physically closer. Best thing I can think of is there is a certain cut off point where it is too far north for 107. Like anything north of a certain avenue. Same reason you don't see 173 going much further north than Pitkin Avenue along Cross Bay unless it's up near the racetrack.

  Good point Jimmy, also Atlantic Ave. is a nice wide boulevard while the north/south numbered streets of Woodhaven are loaded with Stop sign intersections inviting accidents.

Well said by all!
