If the rundown is accurate, it appears the normally assigned units on the initial alarm were not there? What happened to E79; E48 L37 L56?? Long haul for E42 E46 E43 L38 L37 for a first due job.
When E72 was established and their quarters built in Throggs Neck, the firehouse also was lettered “Ladder 57.” That truck company never came into existence.
In reality fire activity, notwithstanding the lithium ion uptick, is way down. CFR runs account for 25%-40% of total runs depending upon the company. If not for that, I’d bet the city would try to make the case to close down companies.
