  Interesting relocations of two adjoining ladder companies: TL124-TL115 and L108-L116. Looks like there will be a big wide truck response gap between Bushwick and Williamsburg. ???
 
You still have 146, and 106. Plus 119 a little bit south, not too big of an area. If you get in a pinch 112 is also in the mix.
