Yes, I also noticed that and both E92(reserve) & L44(taken off) don't respond. Penciled in after the card was issued: L17 relocated to L55 even though L29 covered L42 because L17 became a double co.

Why so many cars? Because it was a regular business day, during normal business hours

Any big city has the same deal.

For those interested who may not be aware......in the assignment card posted in reply # 2......the written in "A" with "2-1" under the A next to the box # in the upper left hand corner indicates that during the "Adaptive Response" hours only 2 ENGs & 1LAD would respond on a pull box.

Was communicating with ExChief 84. Stated that he is working on it, should have it in a couple of days. He said first and second alarm response, not what you would expect. I guess because of the number of boxes out in da Bronx around that time
