    There is a formula but I forget how it works. 264 goes one way 1st due and 328 goes another way 1st due. Someone here on the site will definitely have the correct information for you.

    If the workload in Rockaway keeps up as it is those companies will be in the top ten for runs and workers. Lookout Brooklyn!

    I Just Wanna be a FIREMAN

    Willy, funny you should mention the Post Office. I too graduated high school in '67, should have been '66 but I liked it so much I stayed an extra year lol, and went to work as a carrier.

    FDNY Response 1945 Empire State Building

    I don't have the exact rundown but I do know my dad was the MPO (ECC) of Engine 16 that morning and they were on the 1st alarm. Taking a guess I would say E1, E65, E16, E21, L24, L7.
