Batt. 58 and Ladder 149 subsequently s/c for relief and overhaul.

Engine 323 relocated to Engine 245; Engine 241 relocated to Engine 253; Ladder 105 relocated to Ladder 161.
 
Ladder 114 initially went to Ladder 161 but was sent in on the second; Brooklyn was running out of Tower Ladders in the south.
 
Anyone know what happened to require a second alarm?  A few minutes before the division chief called the second alarm the battalion said the fire was knocked down.  Since the second alarm wasn't called for release purposes I'm assuming something happen at the scene.
 
I believe they had fire 2nd floor & attic, thats how I heard it, BC42 said they had fire on the 2nd floor knocked down & said something about the attic, after the 2nd alarm Div8 did report heavy fire in the attic.
