When the mayday was resolved did the extra Rescue and Squad and the new FAST truck go 10-8 or continue in?

Is the rig “loaned” or is it used for a fee?

Fleet also has a couple that can be used for an hour or 2 I think. I think they are stocked and ready to go

In the FDNY they are different things. Reserves (500’s for Engines, 600 for the Tower Ladder, 700’s for Ladders, and 800 for the Squad) are equipped and basically ready to go into service if needed in moments. Spares are completely empty and when a company needs to move to a spare they must...

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!!

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