TL-5 went in service on Wednesday and was special called above the second alarm. This building was almost directly across the street for old E-15's quarters...

    6/27/22 Boston MA 4th Alarm Box 3396

    That makes perfect sense. I forgot all about L-23, was thinking 7 Truck might be second due. On the other hand I have heard rumors that L-13 is being brought back in service. Hard to believe 40 years ago the tapped Ladders 3-13-20 out of service. They were 1st, 2nd and 3rd due to many boxes in...
