That is an interesting area where companies are 1 due & a block away could be 3rd due. Eng 61 would have been on the first alarm years back.
Depending upon the corner 64 should be 1 due with either 61, 90, or 96 second, third, or even forth due. It is also the border line between Div 6 & 7 boxes. This area also sees a heavy response of Tower Ladders - 54 - 41 - 58 - 50 - 31 on the first few alarms.

As for the relocation of Eng 22 to 82. With an on goin 3th alarm it is a reasonable decision. The dispatcher is bringing a company in from outside the general area and not cris-crossing other relocations. Eng 35 was relocating to 94. Good move. So there are 91, 53, & 58 left to cover the area btw 22 & 35. Looks good to me.
