seems like the whole program there needs to just be re-organized and restructured they should just develop a hazmat company for each of the Boros and call it good.

ladder tenders would be the way to go. they used the concept very well in Arizona but as way, as a cost, saving measure not to run the ladders all the time. The FDNY can use it more as a second piece and then use it as a separate apparatus in times needed. just my opinion.

is this a high pressure engine? was there talk of combining the high-rise unit with high-pressure pumper?

it’s New York City with the biggest planning department in the world. I’m sure they can figure it out. If they can’t, they have no business being in the game

it’s about time they start building more modern fire houses so they can start having modern fire trucks that don’t have to be speced around the fire house

OK, so with the specs outlined, who is talented enough to do a composite sketch of the information that is provided

what’s the process on determining the specs of a new rig? there’s a panel or a board side on what’s going to be built or do any of the firefighters have any say in this?

good one happy new year Santa lol

maybe get some of the convicts that are on good behavior to go out there and do that or maybe some individuals living off the system might be able to help contribute to society but that’s wishful thinking. I know there’s a few departments out there that run snowmobiles as paramedics excluding...

😂

are the squad strategically placed or can they be swapped out with other engines,ladder companies that have more room so they can house their second piece or a larger apparatus?

thanks everybody for the responses and answering my questions I appreciate it but I do have one off-topic questions that is kind of related, but do any of the units have snowmobiles or snow cats

OK I guess I understand all that. What are you guys do with the second piece if you’re out on a run already parked a couple blocks away

just curious on why such a special piece of apparatus would be stuck in a hydrant. I can see if they’re first due or right around the corner of the hydrant and they’re the fastest unit to get there but I really don’t see the purpose of having a squad taking a hydrant at all. I can see them doing...

what Certs do the rescue guys have that squad companies do not I think off the top of my head I believe it’s scuba and possibly high angle rescue

Merry Christmas, 🎁🎄 seasons greetings, happy holidays, and 🥳 happy new year 🎊🎈🎆 , at the end of the day no matter who you are, or what you do, we all need you. thank you to all the first responders.

i’m surprised the squads have not gone to a tandem axle rescue pumper

yes, great videos keep it up. but I still think their second piece can be a little more robust. Also, are squad consider to be paramedic level as well? last, but not least are they trained to handle tactical situations

received and understood I understand the whole incident command system. I just wondering if that’s how they’re being used and I understand now that they’re probably being utilized in that sort of aspect especially at the planning level. Thank you.

don’t understand what the roll of the chief of training and the chief of the fire Academy at a fifth alarm what would be their responsibility also, please explain the concept of requesting an extra engine and an extra truck. why not just go straight to the second alarm after the 1075
