  @J.C. – thanks- so many numbers my eyes must have been playing tricks on me.

  Bill it also appears by this rundown that Truck 47 was sent on a change to Truck 12, 13 minutes before Truck 12 was sent (to the then) 2-11 as an additional RIT truck. At that time of night, T47 could have made it to T12 before T12 was sent to the scene. Another interesting twist to the T12.

  Maybe T32 was sent to 110’s house to have another truck on the NE side of the city to run with T25. Also on the 4-11, T29 changes to T58 on the far west side, with no indication that T58 changed anywhere or brought any special equipment to the scene.

  Funny how this fire on the north side of the city affected companies just about on all four corners (E104- south, T29, E99 – west, T6- east, E71, 89 -north) of the city. The only thing missing is a special call for a company from the SW side to really complete the four corners.

  Thanks for publishing the “run down” for the 5-11 alarm at 2620 W Nelson and the change of quarters assignments. One of strangest and longest change was sending Truck 32 from the west side to Truck 12 on the north side after 6AM when Truck 47 had originally been assigned to change quarters to Truck 12 after 2AM. I can’t help but wonder why Truck 32 was sent on that change when there was nothing that had indicated that Truck 47 was dispatched to the extra alarm. It appears that the longest (distance) change of quarters assignments where Engine 16 to Engine 35, Truck 4 to Truck 28, Engine 109 to Engine 43, Engine 1 to Engine 56, and of course Truck 32 to Truck 12. Battalion 2 to Battalion 12 and Engine 39 to 57 were also pretty good rides.
