I doubt that, it's a long way. E75 is usually 1st due there.

If available E-75,48,43,81  L-33,56,59  Bn. 19 those are the usual units on 1st alarm address is south of fordham on university, may be part of a youth center for the nearby church. Dont think it is the Large church which is on the corner of fordham and university.

Looks like the fire might have been contained in the entry vestibule.  Problem with fires like this in large public buildings is interior smoke damage, in addition to water damage.

  The normal assignment for this corner is E75, E43, TL33, L59, B19.    E75 was delayed to to BI.  E43 arrived first and operated as the 1st due engine.  There was a heavy fire condition in the vestibule of St. Nicholas of Tolentine church.  Fire wa s literally blowing out the front doors of the church on arrival of the first alarm units.  The vestibule area is a total loss but, the church is otherwise undamaged.  BTW, B19 was at the Rock, B18 had the fire.
