Is there any rhyme or reason as to how the box numbers are set up in Queens. For example Manhattan is very easy to figure out basically the numbers start low in lower Manhattan and get higher as it goes up. Is there any way to know what area the box is in just by hearing the number?

Random question...since E64/L47 have basically separate quarters do they live separate or do they still act as though they are companies sharing the same house?

Why is it that some accidents are dispatched as an ems 911 box and some are 5-7 signals?

I know day tours are mostly filled with BI and drills mixed in with runs but what is a typical night tour like?

Quick question do FDNY rescues respond to their 1st due are for all calls?

Does anyone have any updates on 55 engine? are they back home after their unfortunate events?  :)

I've listened to FDNY radio a little bit lately and I never hear them go en route, call out on the scene or go back in service. I was wondering how they did all of this in the FDNY. I know that they have MDT's but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any response is appreciated.
