292 should be on the ticket, probably second due …Especially as it’s a first due box for R-4.

Ohh ..ok wasn’t aware they are now a 75. Ty

I’m not sure exactly what incident you referring to , but most likely because they don’t want to tie up a an entire rescue company and collapse rig to just baby sit a transit for hours. Sending one TAC unit to do so only ties up one support rig and one firefighter….not two or three rigs if its...

All the collapse rig carry a transit.

Also very tight streets in Bushwick for a 95‘ to be maneuvering around.

Check the list of vids of “Fleet Fridays” that Skyler Fire does …I believe he already did a in depth videoed on the MIRV. all the answers to your question are there.

As previously mentioned , the 5 Rescues are SCUBA staffed 24/7/365 with a minimum of two divers on each Rescue. Most often usually with more than the minimum of 2 divers. The “SCUBA UNIT” is the training and equipment maintenance unit of SOC for both SCUBA and swift water rescue. The Marine...

B-57..not the 35 or the 37 ?

If it’s that easy , then why is E289 & L136 still operating out of a quonset hut across from the quarters? And probably will be for sometime while their existing firehose is demoed and a new one is built. My estimate for the new firehouse to open 5 to 7 years. R-1 & R-4 have been hunting...

If I’m correct, those were both tower ladders with pumps , no hose , no water tanks . So does that actually qualify as a “quint“? I was under the impression that a quint also has a hose bed & a boster tank .

I highly doubt that , Rescue 2& 4 are doing about 34, 3500 runs a year in two of the biggest bourghs. I’m not sure what their numbers were last year, even with all the lithium batteries runs but I don’t think it’s that high.

Do you have any idea what that would cost to fund , man , train and equip 4 more Hazmat companies … it would be astronomical! And besides the logistics of finding a suitable location in each Boro and finding members that would actually want to volunteer to man them …next to imposable …each new...

The SSL‘s fall under the Rescue Ops of SOC . the CPC’s fall under the Hazmat ops of SOC. Two different budgets and more importantly two different Federally funded grants. It’s all about the federal grant money...or in this case the lack of federal grant money for the SSL anymore.

Wow….did this tread take a turn.

I haven’t been in either of those firehouse in a while ….but from what I recall it’s very tight.

Is the bid for new collapse rescue rigs or squad’s second pieces ? The original post said collapse rigs . And if the bid is actually for squad second pieces ….i got ask ..where is Sq 1, 18 ,& 252 going to keep them ….because 4 door crew cabs won’t fit in their firehouses.

Hmmmm , 9 new rescue rigs ….7 new collapse rigs , non of it makes any sense. 🤔

You’ll never see a tandem axle squad rig in NYC. it really has nothing to do with the size of their firehouse , it’s all about the rig being to long for then to operate as a engine and be “on a hydrant “. FDNY is a “fire to hydrant “operation 95% of the time. So basically the engine belongs ON...

Haz tech engine chauffeur as well as the Rescue chauffeurs also get the same pay differential….Soc, CFR & Chaff diff.

As a posed to the NY Daily News ?
