    A Modified response. The night of the Blizzard, 400 Park Ave came in as an activated alarm, then was filled out due to further info, turned out to be a small 10-29. You never know !!
    Good job to the powers that be, for pre-planning and manning the necessary apparatus for a storm as this one.

    Another overlooked note to this story, from Lowell is:
    Ladder-4, Engine-4 and Rescue-1 were all shut down the night tour of the fire, half of the normal first alarm assignment.
    I'm willing to bet the Fellas could'a used the "extra" hands.............!!!!!!
