Is fire duty so far down that we are reporting 10-18s?

They do assign 3 & 2 & a BC to 8300 which is actually a box at the gatehouse & covers all of Breezy & Rockaway Point..... I am not sure if after Sandy this box like so many others in QNS works (this particular one probably does) but it always was that a resident would call BP Security thru their number at the Gatehouse to report a Fire & the Guard would step outside & actually pull 8300 which was mounted on the side of the Gatehouse getting 3&2 & BC.....there is also another box number for the Gatehouse at the entrance to Roxbury down the road using same procedure.
