About 1100 this morning... no FD units on scene, just OEM, Buildings, NYS DEC Spill Response, a few contractors who looked to be constructing a wooden barrier around the property and a few firms who were assisting in mitigating some of the crap left over from water runoff
I think assigning the farther out units instead of rotating the same close-in units serves as a bit of a training tool to keep everyone fresh especially on incidents like this which are not the norm of daily operations.
I was pretty sure I had seen something about this address before. I'll have to check it out tomorrow

Bad luck for Ladder 3... originally on the 2-2, Div 3 asked for a tower ladder instead so L-3 told to remain in service. Then special called over the 3rd and had the MVA.
Approx 1430 hours
BC23 used all hands at 7339 Amboy Road @ Wood Av.
Fire in the chimney of a 2 story 20x30 commercial with dwelling above.

How about Box 9341 at Rockaway Blvd and 175 Street. Many years ago there was a job at a homeless hotel for that box and then-Queens Chief Dispatcher Joe Higgins(RIP) asked the radio dispatcher if that in fact was a valid box number for that area presuming he knew 9300's were primarily Corona.
I've been trying to figure out box 1879 at 87 Avenue and 144 Street for 35 years nevermind the 4000's lol
There's a few head scratchers in almost every series... 5098, 5099 in Glendale. The 51-5200's are scattered. The 4000-4999 series have no set neighborhood except for the 4400's in and around...
