No, TL-13 went to the fire. You heard it wrong. 22Truck went to 13, 59 Engine went to 91. 28 went to 26. 23 Engine went up that way, either to 22 or 53. I forgot.

It didn't sound right to me either - perhaps I misunderstood although I listened to that portion of the tape several times because it sounded strange (that's why I noted L13 is normally first due).  I figured I would put it into the rundown anyway (rather than leave it out) because it might generate some discussion - on that point I was successful.

Thanks to the Guitarman and FDNY150 for setting the record straight.
