Sorry, i wasnt criticizing the rundown, i mean i literally know of a couple engines significantly closer that were definitely AQ and not assigned. Barb bullshit still going in a decade later.
So much is done ass backwards in this city, this stuff is no different. Engines doing BI in their 5th due response areas, companies responding through other company’s first due areas to get to boxes that the other company isnt even assigned to, etc.
Terrible block to have a job on. Long street only accessed up at tremont and sedgwick or the wrong way from the south. almost impossible to get rigs beyond 1st due set up properly.
There are a few instances of that in bronx/manhattan too. A bridge box gets whatever companies….but buildings on the other side of that bridge get companies who are 3rd or 4th due to that bridge, before the companies that are 1st due. Makes zero sense.
When in doubt its pumps prime preset, taught to the younger guys and non ecc’s. We’ve also had some weird issues with the pump airlocking and being unable to even drop the booster. Its taken some creativity to fix by some heads up eccs in numerous places.
