This might be an obvious answer, but why was E 1 on the second alarm and not first due? Were they out and not initially available? If so, figures!

Also, why would 4 truck be FAST and not 21? - 21 truck is closer to 34th Street.

I'm noticing that this location is not near many companies - 7 truck has some ride for second due.

Does anybody know what unit that Rescue Services truck shown in the beginning of the video is responding as? It had shown up in videos and pictures from quite a few fires recently. In this case Rescue 1 also showed up in the video and was the only rescue unit shown in the dispatch sequence.

SoHoTruckin20 · Jan 20, 2014

I believe its running as the Rescue Battalion buttttt I could be wrong

In2theJob · Jan 20, 2014

E-1 and L-24 are only three blocks away.

It has been running as TSU-1 for quite a while . . . maybe as long as since Sandy when the International TSU1 was destroyed.

1 and 24 were on another box for "smoke in the subway" which turned out to be someone smoking in the subway.

I remember hearing that and I was wondering if that was where that house was. According to Manhattan dispatch somebody called 9-1-1 because a person was smoking in the Subway.

4 truck · Jan 20, 2014

4 truck was extra truck on all hand I believe wasn't working. 21 truck is your fast truck

68jk09 · Jan 20, 2014

The "smoking on the train" incident came in after the Second @ 715 was already transmitted....BN*10 made it a 10-33-2.
