L32 to BxD: we're available for Box 3530
BxD to L32: you're 3rd due, remain in service
After 10-75 was given
BxD to L32: you're FT
I know how much you like these discussions, SO:
62/32 1.6 mi. & have to come across Gun Hill Rd. (over the Bx. River P'kwy) - usually a nightmare, then down Webster Ave.
48/56 1.2 mi. straight shot up Webster Ave.
E88 was available from EMS Box (10-91) just before 10-75, should be 4th Engine
B27: extra E/T (E75/L33)
D7: 3 L/S - 2 L/O
D7: UC (duration 40 min.)
My mistake and I stand corrected. Not having my assignment guide handy I thought Box 3530 was at 204th and Decatur, not Mosholu Pkwy N.
But Ah ha...here's where the fun starts. If you reverse 62/32s route, from either the Box or the address, it is 1.1 miles. That is traditionally how they would go, against traffic on WP Rd to Gun Hill, against traffic from 204th south on Decatur, as all other companies would be approaching north on Decatur.
In ancient times (my youth) when these assignments were determined by a rolling wheel calibrated to the scale of an actual map, street directions were usually ignored but unit access was considered. Not so anymore since the advent of computerization, BARB, etc,.
48/56 are 1.1 miles to the box, 1.2 to the address. And they have to navigate through Fordham and Webster, likely a lot worse than Gun Hill at the BRP. But it is a straight run for them so I concede the point.
