The transmission is a 10-60 2nd Alarm - 2-2-10-60

Is there an audio archive that we can go to and listen to this run?

Was the 10-60 the correct call? It seems to me just a major collapse response that was required.
 
The feed I used to create this scans the entire City.  I did my best to only grab the stuff from the incident.  There are some decent chunks missing from when the scanner locked in on other incidents. 

Of course Manhattan and Brooklyn are crystal clear.  Queens doesn't sound quite as good:

This about the first 30 minutes.

I was thinking the same thing. Thought it was a mistype when i first read. The driver seemed to have been removed quite quick from the truck
 
Great to see Chief Pfeifer still around. Should a building like this not have some sort of Safety Gaurd Rail on the inside of the building running around the walls to prevent this?
 
Good point on the inside safety guard rails.......as far as the 10-60.....better safe than sorry.....also plenty of duties to utilize the units.
