4950 Goulden Ave. sounds bogus, it maybe 2950 which would be in Herbert H. Lehman College
 
could be 2 different things, yes lehman college is 2950 goulden and is a large complex of buildings, the other possibility is an incident at the water treatment plant further north on goulden at w.205 st. There is also another school at 205 Bronx high school of science so maybe 2 different incidents, will find out more from firehouse later today.
 
Box 4950 was the box incident wasa for smoke issueing from water tunnell project at reservoir. First run was at 02:51 and after investigation it was determined that the on scene contractors working under ground would handle problem, not sure of what actually was causing smoke condition. E79,81  L-37,46 and Bn 27 operated. At 03:54 same box was transmitted for structural smoke in area, units found heavier smoke issueing from the northern vent house of water tunnel project, same units responded plus special units which I dont have. At one point in time there was a possibility of lowering members into tunnel to check out what was causing smoke, after a time the smoke disappated and units actually never entered tunnel. If anyone has more add to this but there was no Lehman college or any other school involved. A few months ago there was a drill at this site after a chlorine release happened, this is the Jerome Park Reservoir which is undergoing major work via tunnel project.
 
  Box 4950 is at Bedford Park Blvd. & Goulden but the water tunnel explains it all, even though it's some distance north, thanks :D
