    Your article didn;t make it clear which street is Sterling St. and which one is Sterling Pl. – please could you do that for us – thanks!

    The Shomrim and Hatzalah should not have confused Sterling Street with Sterling Place in this case because only Sterling Place intersects with Kingston Avenue. Sterling Street ends by Brooklyn Avenue and does not intersect with Kingston Avenue.

    Sterling Place is 3 blocks after Eastern parkway,
    Sterling street is block after Empire but it ends by Brooklyn Ave.

    Don’t put the blame on The members of Hatzalah of CH it depends on how the dispatcher gives it over. i think that they do a good job 24/7 365 days a year whether its shaboss yomtov etc @all hours. who are we to criticize? We should thank them for all that they do

    Seeing the FDNY Pumper Apparatus in the photo reminds me that I have seen no mention made that two of our brave FDNY Firemen lost their lives this past Sunday in the Bronx while batteling a serious fire. Please take a moment to remember them and ask G_d to care for their families. Our Firemen put their lives on the line for all of us everyday. We should never forget the sacrifice they make for us all…
