I am not sure what the source is - but, this is what was posted at
firehouse.com in this thread -
<http://www.firehouse.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110636&page=16> - I
am not sure if I agree with the info in the first pages of this thread
- I thought that FDNY changed their dispatch procedure by transmitting
the alarm to the firehouses before asking for call streets - not that
they eliminated the fire calltakers - Peter Sz

Ah, one last thing....for the Experts from Upstate NY, Mooseknuckle
Canada, and Swamp Country LA (by way of Upstate, NY of course); I am
sure with their vast knowledge they knew that the address locations in
Queens, NY although may look like only a few blocks are vastly
different....the original location is 5 mins from the actual
one.....because of such roads as the BQE and Queens Blvd.
Particularity in this section of Queens the difference in ST, RD, PL
can mean life or death....and this time it meant death.
