[Scan-DC] Montgomery 9-Kings renumbered

[Doug Kitchener]

Okay, I'm in Box 28-10, which is near the intersection of Goshen and Snouffer's School Roads.  Across the street is an 8 box area 8-9, maybe? and directly behind me is Box 17-23.  So, I'm as far from any of the three closest fire stations as I can get.  Looking at yahoo maps, I'm 3.62 miles from 28, exactly the same distance (3.62 miles) from 8 (!), and 4.41 miles from 17.

If the Station 28 units are running out of Dakota Drive, that's 5.92 miles away... so are they still first-due in my area while they're temporarily relocated, or have the first-due assignments been temporarily re-arranged?
