Were there other boxes out? Seems E-4 and E-55 would be ahead of E-28 and L-11 should be ahead of L-20.

Engine 4 is no where near this fire.

Every unit assignment shown is on the archive tape - even the first alarm was totally transmitted which is somewhat unusual. Yes, some companies were obviously out - however, the transcript of the tape shows what units were assigned to the fire

Engine 4 is no where near this fire.

My mistake, when it said Madison and Gouverneur I thought of the old Gouverneur hospital which has the larger projects across the street and is about 7 blocks south of Gouverneur Street. That would be a fairly straight shot for E-4. The assignment makes much more sense now that I realize it was in the projects North of Montgomery Street.

Not a problem - we all make mistakes!
