    I'm gonna chime in too. I always comment, on how the BeeLine drivers are the only drivers on the road that do what they are supposed to do for an emergency vehicle! They always put on their hazard lights, yield, and then stop for approaching Fire apparatus. A big Thank You to the drivers for that!The assignment to the bus into the deli was:
    E-312. TL-75. Battalion-2. Rescue-1. S/C E-314 W/Collapse rig (SQ-11 was out) S/C E-310 for additional manpower, shoring operations underway.

    The complex is a regular customer, we were just there today. The story on the job Chief Flynn posted is pretty much the story, it went to a 4th or 5th Alarm. I didn't work that nite, but ended up there on recall. Picked up frozen hose for 5-hours.

    Reports of a structure fire gets 4x2xR1 and Battalion standard. Reserves/spares are manned by recalled personnel. YFD tries not to hold the M/A companies longer than needed.
    FDNY did not respond to the job nor relocate to the Firehouses.
