Stewart Airport ARFF is provided by the Air National Guard. FDNY and Newark FD could easily get personnel trained and certified for ARFF. The cost would be quite affordable compared to the hosing taxpayers are being subjected to (and have been for many years) by the Port Authority of N.Y. and N.J..

The bells were still in use when the TCU's existed. I believe the telegraph signal 4-4-4-2-1 was used each day at 1500 hours along with a voice alarm and radio transmission stating, "The signal four, four, four, two-one has been transmitted. Adaptive Response is now in effect."
