G-Man, Wow has that response card changed with all the moves over the years!

36/40 1st due; E58/14 2d  due; 58 in before 59 and 30, but not L26.

Nowadays it shuld be

59 58 35 37    30 26  14FAST or.... does 37/40 beat 35/14 in?

Anybody post the actual rundown for this event?

Yes, that card was from 1959 when E58 was at 115th (Lenox-5th), L26 (double co.) was at 114th & Madison, E37 was at 126th & Amsterdam, L40 was at Hancock Pl., L30 and E59 were up at 135th & 137th repectively, L14 was at 125th (Park-3rd), E36 was at Park (126 to 127), E76 was at 102nd &  Amsterdam, L22 was at Amsterdam & 97th, L43 was with E91 @11th & 2nd Ave. and E53 was @ 104th (3rd-Lexington). The reason why L26 didn't get filled was they had a 2nd section then L16-26 was penciled in when the 2nd sect. was disbanded)   

 
In a couple of the pictures you see firefighters with RED "plastic type" helmets similar to the blue ones worn by ESU.

I know one of the men has a Special Operations Command T shirt.  Who wears these helmets and why?
 
Those red helmets are issued to all Rescues, Squads and SOC Support Ladders for use in this type of response and for confined space work, less bulky than fire helmet. They are marked on front with unit number.
 
Hats off to Dispatchers 284, 250, 772, 187, 769, and the Bronx and Queens Supervising Dispatchers for the kick ass job getting this handled and relocations into the area done in a professional and superb manner. The Manhattan Boss who had the tour is proud of all of you.
