Are you sure about the BFU at E97? I think they have the Thawing Unit there, but I don't remember ever seeing a BFU there.

The computer system, SPRINT, sends the calls for the division concerned (usually 2-3 precincts are on a division) to the indiviual dispatchers, including all Citywide notifications. It's up to the dispatcher to assign the calls to the sector/s concerned. Yes, they go into 'alert' (holding calls) often, but a 'backlog' (more than 5 jobs holding) doen't happen too often because the dispatcher has the ability to assign up to 5 low priority jobs to each sector.

Call for ESU?

What a horrible thing to hear, especially on Christmas. My condolences to their loved ones.

Yes to all.

Is anyone sure that Aviation is still active? I haven't seen them on the road at all for years. Also, the engine that is next to the 43 Pct. is E96.

Yes.
