Is that new news? Because it looks to be about the same thing everyone else was saying. you know, EVENING SHUT DOWN is the same thing as closing at night. : :

The Mayor's only looking at stats like L53 had only 144 workers of which 12 were occupied structural workers. What they don't take into account is that L61 and L50 are quite a ways away and their response districts can place them even further away. In the case of E161, located near the coastline which gets high winds which help to accelerate a fire. All three E152, E159 & E160 have large response areas and would have to travel long distances to get into E161's 1st due area. For instance, E160 gets many calls up into Sunnyside, Silver Lake, Grymes and Emerson Hills and if there is a little inclement weather, they're not going to be able to "fly" in via Clove Rd. (one narrow lane). E152 responds as far north as Tompkinsville and to get into E161's district they would have to go down Bay St. which has only one lane. E159 has Hylan Blvd. but they're also a Satellite engine which means the chances of them being out on another run and or being at the other end of their response area.johnd248 said:If you check your history, I believe you will find that Ladder 53 has been eliminated before, possibly more than once.
