Seem to recall the rundown was in the WNYF feature article. I will check as soon as I can access my disk. Perhaps someone has quicker access?

I went by there not too long ago. Amazing what can happen when that much real estate is conveniently freed up. None of Us on the Forum could afford to live in that area now.

I looked at WNYF, 4th/2006, and found the article ("Firestorm at the Greenpoint Terminal Market", by Deputy Assistant Chief Joseph W. Pfeifer) and, surprisingly, there's no run-down of units assigned but there is a list of times that each alarm was transmitted, from initial to "Box Closed" on 4 May 2006.

Cool to see some pictures of the giant satellite monitor in use, even if the collapse zone kept it too far away to do much more than cool off those rental trucks.
