Per NYCFireWire: 130-60 Van Wyck Expy. Eng.302 has a house under demo that has partially collapsed into the exposure.

Partial/possible assignment
E302, 308, 303
TL155, L126
R4, 2
SQ270, 288
BN51, 54
D13
RB, SB
FC
K9-01
TSU2
HM01
HMB
E274 w/second piece HMTU
L116 w/CR4
SOC Compressor
SOC Logistics

Note: sounds like a major matrix was assigned, most units were 10-2'ed, I am probably missing a few in the rundown

11:41 BN51- all searches negative, requesting DOB

11:55 BN51- return all units not on scene, E302 and TL155 will await DOB.

HMB & HM01 originally sent to a gas main struck in Astoria, HMB continued to that and sent HM01 to the collapse.

They send a HM Tech to Astoria?
I wonder sometimes about that. HM 1 pretty close. Can't they handle these situations alone. I thought that the HMTU's were for additional initial coverage in their part of the borough. Respond, size up the situation and make a decision if HM 1 is needed especially with all these lithium battery fires.
