Never judge a book by its cover. AS looked like he stepped off a recruiting poster.

"The Castle" is 1950 Andrews Avenue. A very large 7 wing Class 3 MD. The front doors of 6/7 wings are only accessible via an interior courtyard. It was vacant for many years. Reliable estimates say there were well over 100 significant fires there in the 70's and 80's.

TLO is usually staffed by BCs on light duty.

The Department does not compile these stats. Only thru the work and attention of site members of course. Caveat- there is no way to account for the quality of the A/H. A garage or roof deck counts the same as a fully involved bedroom.

Fatal 4th alarm top floor fire in this building on 1-1-1970!

Check the line on that- 1000-1?
