R-4 located and marked the car , and removed two victims ...then cops removed the third .

Yes ...a little more centrally located in their borough. The area around E-324 is a great location for R-4 , With easy access to the LIE , GCP , The Van Wyick , Queens Blvd and 108th st.

Big difference, one is a political appointment by the mayor ....the other came up,though the ranks

Rescue 4 spare was supposed to be stored at E-251 put it was determined the the rig was to heavy for the apparatus floor , so now it’s outside at SOC Island ....not the best location. It just goes to support of the need for R-4 to get their own new CENTRALLY located firehouse in their borough...

124 ....big , big fan of it too!!

Probably not two trucks as close as 124 & 112 . TL 124 used to be first due to box 746 before they redid the box assignment. Most of those boxes in that area on Wilson and Knickerbocker will depend on the time of day as to who gets in first ....lots of traffic on Knickerbocker during the day...

Beside, if they where to open any new companies ( highly doubtful) I can think of many other place that are way busier or with longer responses time due to companies being so distant from each other. Right now the area around Hudson Yards comes to mind.

Sure ..it would be nice to have a “real fire house“ on the island , but not very practical ...the runs and work don't really justify it. I worked for 13 years in R-4 and maybe responded to 3 or 4 ,10-75‘s or greater on the island in my time. E-260 is only a few blocks to the bridge and L-116...

Sq -288 is second due on that box as a ENGINE! And it’s really a very close box for them to get first due , well ,that was before the city installed speed bumps on 69 st. it’s a down hill run for 288 ...but the speed bumps really slow them down now !

True that !!

Once all the new 2020 Rescue rigs are in service , all of the old rig are being keep FULLY equipped , ready to be deployed as a reserve rescue ,or as a spare for that rescue company .. example : a major incident where numerous rescue companies are operation and may be a very prolonged operation...

“Made in China “ .....wonderful !

Yes.

FDNY SOC company’s have them in addition to the gas powered saws , not as a replacement. The battery power saws don’t have the power or tourque of the gas powered saws .there intent is be used in confined spaces ,like in building collapse , subways ,or ant place where gas fumes can become a...

the fdny rig contract calls for a satellite repair shop within x miles from NYC. So as long as the warranty are still in effect they have to maintain that facility

Another major factor , NYPD ESU as well as the FDNY Rescue Companies have many, many different responsibilities , and scuba diving is just one of them. Also scuba rescue is a low occurrence, high risk operation . The NYPD divers that are stationed at Floyd Bennett field and are assigned to the...

TL 124, 5 mins away .....maybe if they where walking .

Negative , a new hotel is stil being built on the exp 4 side of their quarters ...the building in that pic is a new multi dwelling , and yes , it used to be a auto glass repair shop

No Decon until there anymore

R-4’s spare rig will be kept at E 251.
