yea, good luck with that ….and let’s not forget about the CON-ED vac trucks.

FDNY SOC units did operated in the trench. A large diameter concrete pipe which the two workers were digging under collapsed and pinned them. SOC units slung and lifted the concrete pipe with large nylon slings , wire rope and a grip host and then were able to dig out …Package and remove the...

Hear a pic of a fire in Bushwick Brooklyn of E-218 , L-112 & Tl-124 operating on Myrtle ave under the elevated subway tracks. E-218 “ back stretches to the hydrant, leaving the front of the fire building for the trucks. Ariel ladder to,the roof , TL to the window of the fire floor for vent ...

No they don’t ….more than sufficient coverage. Could use a more coverage in eastern queens or most anywhere on Staten Island before such an engine heavy area like that.…there’s about 6 truck that could be anywhere in the so called “truckless triangle “ with a response time of less the 5 mins...

The main reason that they changed the relocation policy of a squad going to a squad was so that the relocating squad would not be assigned to basically all the engine boxes ….1st & 2nd Eng …EMS, class 3 and so. They want the relocated squad to be available for basically SOC work, responses...

Oh please ….7 maybe 8 blocks for L-112. With 3 other trucks so close it could be a three way tie for second due. TL-124 used to be second due …now 4th. It’s a VERY engine heavy area.

Did you read any of this thread ?

Once again …bid states with front & rear winch. The only rigs on the fire or ems side with winches are the rescues.

All the Rescue rigs are 2019’s ….although most were not put in service till at lest 2021. R-1 was Last to be placed in service with a long delay , not sure of the approximate date of R-1 going into service. R-5 was the first of the new rigs with R-1 being the last , and it was quite a...

AQ in south Queens.

The specs states front and rear winches ….only rigs in the FDNY fleet that have front & rear winches are the rescues …so It has to be them. But like already stated , why 9.

Any reason R-2 wasn’t assigned….EMS sent the rescue medics on their side?

Yesterdays 3rd alarm at the NYPD evidences warehouse fire would have been the perfect job to use the new “superpumper“. To bad it wasn’t in service. Might have to wait another 10 yeas for that opportunity again.

That BlitzFire did not look like it was very effective. It looks like they had the stack tips right there on the floor next to them ….just wondering why they decided to go with the fog nozzle and not the 1,1/2” stack tip like normal…or even a bigger tip! Didn’t look like they where getting...

Gotta love how TL-138 took the sidewalk !!

It also creates a vacuum in the response area ….all the nearby companies are responding to one location for something that’s not quite confirmed yet. In some areas of South East Queens and a Staten Island. Taking 4E + 3T + R&Sq opens up a huge response area. I worked in Bushwick and I can...

definitely wasn’t during the 97 model years ( had some time in a 97 😉)...that might have been the year they went back to two jacks on the front. If I recall ,the seating was different too …all four member in the back road facing backwards. Very tight quarts back there. The cab was smaller...

Years ago before blue lights on fire trucks , emergency vehicular became a thing, the NY State police did a field test/ study by putting one blue to the rear of their patrol cars ….the results of the test was rear end accidents declined about 30% while operating at a scene with the warning...

Haz mat doesn’t get detail or hired to work OT in either the Rescues or the squads. But it does works the other way around ….all Resuce and squad members are trained to Haz Mat technician level . Haz met members are not trained to rescue tec , confined space , high angle , collapse , trench ...
