Many engines closer than E-15

E-14 has a special designation which only a few engines are trained for.

L-10 was at box 0094, not sure about E-10

E14 is a Lobby Control Unit.

Ok, for some reason I thought whichever ticket designation you were assigned could generate a suffix. I need to get back in the books!

Why the separate boxes? When and how are they used?

Why the separate boxes? When and how are they used?

Those are Brooklyn boxes, known as surrogate or staging boxes. Per Signal73's post in the FAQ section of this site:

"Q: What is a staging box?
A: As its name implies, a staging box is a box transmitted for companies to respond to specific location to standby for further orders. These can be dispatched for a variety of reasons; some examples are:

- Any 10-76 in Lower Manhattan requires staging Boxes 9031 and 9032 to be transmitted in Brooklyn for companies to standby at the bridges."

Someone will correct me if I am wrong but I believe each box brings an Engine, Truck, and Chief who stage in BK then are available to be used or relocated at the discretion of Manhattan CO.
