That's what I meant. Sorry for not being more clearer. Hazmat-1 Responds all over the city and a single run can have them running to the far end of Staten Island from North Queens, which in itself can take a good 30 mins even with the lights and sirens the whole way there. An engine company or a truck company does more local runs and therefore have more time to take in a run or 2 more before hazmat can even get close to where they are needed. A run is a simple notification that something is going on that requires a response from the area's companies, just because a company does 5,000 runs does not mean it had work to do.

Sorry for the misunderstanding

<img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> part of my job to notice stuff like that... You'd be suprised how much stuff gets photoshopped out of photos I post here...



Although I don't do it to news photos, I meant I pay attention to the background.

Great photos as usual. Acouple of unrelated questions on some of the posts-



1. How does (or did) the fire patrol get dispatched. Was it FDNY, was it automatic, etc.

2. I was looking at the phots of Div. 8 and Tac 2, what's going on at their house. I have ridden from there on a number of occasions and it looks like there is some construction going on.

Thanks in advance

Mark,



Their apparatus floor was removed, and is being rebuilt to accommodate heavier rigs. When the place was first built the apparatus they had weighed only about as much as 2-3 compact cars. Now, apparatus weighs several tons, and was without reconstruction, this could have been a problem. The firehouse has been under construction for awhile.

I just added this shot for ya. Rescue 5's 'Floor'. Well, it should be the same level at which I was standing.
