Is Metropolitan Fire Dept still in service in S.I.. ? They are literally around the block from here.

Looks like they Cross Train Eng 22 & 8. Neighboring Henrico County does have a Dedicated Hazmat almost 60 Personnel They cover Richmond Intl Airport , Richmond Raceway , parts of 95 & 64 and the CSX Railyards.

Gotta correct myself Yes 1.7 Here in Astoria.

Hi Signal no report from the 45 of any manholes going off on the Island or Manhattan. So that reporting is suspect. I live within a half a mile of Roosevelt felt nothing here.

So any idea what was heard? No damage of any kind or signs of anything? Delayed ignition of some kind , Sub station issue?

E53 might be third Due.
