When reporting a fire or other emergencies time is always precious but apparently whoever put the above signs forgot that Queens is assigned all Roosevelt Island emergencies requiring the dispatch of emergency personnel. Box 1915 says to call Manhattan yet Box 1924 says to call Queens. I am not sure yet what borough Box 1948 says to call.
We may be Manhattan for voting and schools but if its a fire Engine 260 and Ladder 116 are our assigned first response units and they are based in Queens, LIC to be exact. So ignore the sign to call Manhattan. Call the Queens Dispatch Center at 999 - 5555. It is more direct than 911 for fire emergencies.

There certainly needs to be some clarification. It could be pretty misleading.
