So did Car-11 start out an extra Rescue and Squad and then FC cancel them? Or did FC deny what would have been the 3rd Rescue and Squad with the 10-66 on top of the Car-11 special calls?

I believe an MSU is dispatched on a 3rd alarm. Could be earlier for a 10-76/77 I am not sure. Also not sure if they ever go on a SOC or Marine matrix. They can also be special called by the IC at any time

Any rundown? I thought there would be more Boston units going

Still on the way back from SI

Looks like DC Corrado has retired the leather helmet

Is Ladder 25 being SOC Support a special call or is that still assigned?

Is there a common dispatch center and radio network for the Nassau county vollies? If not how does it work?

What is GF1?

I didn't mean ride the rigs as I assume they have equipment they need on their own rig. I meant more be apart of the firehouse, perhaps even one day be part of the company as in report through the Rescue officer chain of command. Maybe I used the wrong wording. Thanks for your replies!!

So Rescue medics do not respond to any medical calls and only respond when the Rescue is assigned? Is there a plan or an idea to eventually merge the EMS unit into the Rescue company? Or will they always just park outside and follow them around?

Not very often I've seen a Squad special called for FF Duty

So a Tech Rescue response in a Squad 1st, 2nd, (some) 3rd due boxes could have 3 Squads responding?

Would a Squad respond as an engine in their engine boxes to a technical rescue?

I am curious about something with all these Nassau county jobs with so many small volly depts responding. Is there a Nassau County fire dispatch? or how does that work?

My guess is the street is filling with smoke
