    3/21/24 Brooklyn 10-75 Box 1557

    And according to Zillow the fire building, 2111 Regent, has been listed for sale since 5/23 and was pending since 12/23. Can’t believe the real estate values there. We had numerous jobs in buildings across the street back in day. They were a mess. Vacant or just real crappy buildings. That...

    Across Saratoga and few doors down from Jackie Gleasons birthplace of 364 Chauncey. And the Kramdens lived at 328 Chauncey but called it Bensonhurst.

    Seems like 109 or 122 should go before 149.

    2/12/24 Brooklyn All Hands Box 2309

    Looking at map would seen 123 out of old FH at Ralph & Bergen would be slightly closer than 170 to this box. But both seem closer than 120. Far runs for all trucks back then. Hence putting 174 in service

    2/12/24 Staten Island 2nd Alarm Box 3286

    Was given soon after the 1st due chief got there. Extra engine/truck followed quickly by 2nd alarm. Very good fire condition in basement.

    1/30/24 Manhattan All Hands Box 0242

    That building stood vacant for some time. Surprised it made it through the arson waves back in day

    1/30/24 Manhattan All Hands Box 0242

    Cool article. As far as CIDS, on the Water Street side it looks like 5 stories even though top of lower windows can be seen. Has small set of steps to enter building. The grade slopes to rear at FDR side where full 6 stories are observed.

    Top priority for many FDNY chiefs now is micromanaging OT.

    1/14/24 Brooklyn 2nd Alarm Box 1290

    Sure companies turn out for relocations now-you're getting sent to the job if additional units are needed. And then you go back to your own quarters after operating.

    1/14/24 Brooklyn 2nd Alarm Box 1290

    With the current policy of sending relocators into job companies are asking to be relocated. No accident that 111 is always relocating. They’re asking to be. Most likely have friendly dispatchers making it happen for them.

    2023 FDNY First Due & A/H Statistics *Unofficial*

    Some areas in city the companies are very close together. Especially most of Manhattan and the Bronx. Crazy when you’re about a mile from a company and run in with them on many boxes but you may be fourth due engine or possibly on the 2nd alarm to their quarters or block or 2 past them
