FDNY Medium Rescues

[Bulldog]

Does anyone have any idea where they will be located?

Is this going to be a third TAC unit or will this truck be used water rescue only?

 

[firebuffkevin]

Any word on the assignement of this unit?

I'd stay it would be stationed at the Rock or maybe at Fort Totten.

I think the Brooklyn Navy Yard, E211/TL119 or Tillary St. firehouses would be more centralized with citywide highway access.

I heard from the guys from hazmat that the 2nd piece is getting replaced by a larger unit from ferrara.

True , Very True , I thought Fort Totten because they have all the Water Rescue Training Operations going on there and some Marine Units are docked there.

Based on the comments so far, it doesn't look like this unit is going to replace either of the TAC units, but rather be a new type of response  unit.

Is it not safe to assume its a land response vehicle for the Marine units perhaps???

It's similar to a Boat Tender

The Marine Incident Response Team (MIRT) vehicle, a 2012 Ferrara Medium Rescue body on a Freightliner M2-106 chassis, FDNY registration FF 12001, was placed in service at Marine Operations, Brooklyn Navy Yard, on July 2.  It is staffed by Marine Operations personnel when special called. 

The unique feature of the MIRT is its four-wheel-drive capability for operation on beaches, muddy areas, and rough terrain.  It has a Stanley HP-1 hydraulic system with a full set of hydraulic tools as well as sump and trash pumps.  The truck mounts a crane and carries a small inflatable boat.

Well now we know it's not replacing TAC 1 or TAC 2

Navy Yard, I guessed correct
