Doesnt matter...all that counts is that E88/L38 was a handful of action last night. I am biased however......First Due The Zoo baby.

There was enough fire to go around for every one. When it came to relocations, we had quite a few interesting moves. Ladder 16 to 27, Ladder 143 to 54 and then up to 38 when Ladder 13 got the flat fixed. Engine 74 to 42, Engine 5 to 92, and they caught a first due job a few hours later. Always nice to see two tillers up here. Engine 21 to 71, Engine 229 from Brooklyn up to Engine 83. Engine 307 to 81. A job like this makes you think and anticipate what's gonna happen next.

We must have gotten about 35-40 calls just for smoke in the area. One call that sticks in my head that someone took..... Lady calls, and says there's a fire on 180 and Monterey. The Dispatcher tells her the firefighters are there and they're putting it out. She says, "It's not enough!!!!" This was when the job was at a 3rd. Well, she was right. I checked the fire building(s) out on my way home this morning. Looks like it was cooking for a while before it broke out, 3 stores gone.
