I believe that their recently-released strategic plan said something to the effect of all incoming probies will be paramedics or EMTs and will in the future maintain that credential on the fire side. If I am correct on that, your suggestion will take care of itself eventually

Are you saying they're all trained and have the second piece ready and aren't put in service as an HMTU yet due to budget? I presume due to the 12% (or whatever it is) SOC pay?

I thought the 48 was in the 11th div? This must be near the D8/D11 border?

Does anybody know why they stick to 1000gpm pumps for the squads? Most of the rest of FDNY engines are now 2000gpm. Is there a space difference in a 1000gpm vs. 2000gpm pump that would allow the squad to have more compartment space?

Some units: E8, 65, 39, 259, 319 L2, 16 BN 8, 14, 45, 50 SB D3 CTU01 FC Car 7 (BK Boro- CTWC, I assume) Car 4E (Chief of Counterterrorism Task Force) Car 12 (Chief of Safety) Car 23 (Press Officer) Some updates: MD giving units special instructions not to go north of 50 and South of 53rd St...

Not every day you see a 10-76 outside of Manhattan (or even in Manhattan). Too bad the BK frequency is down on Broadcastify

The link you're referring to was valid at one time but is now outdated

274 on another box at the time? I would expect them to be assigned as the HMTU over 288, unless I'm missing something

Was there another Marine box out at the time?

BN20RUL, 3SO SB, RB, Tac1 originally unavailable on the 2nd, assigned once they went 10-8. Tac2 was assigned but turned around

No resbat?

Why does a queens buff have a picture of 24 truck as their profile? Splain that, Lucy

That applies to all the squads when they're first due they operate as an engine, the next squad gets assigned to respond in as a squad. Not specific to SI

Was there a bunch of other activity at the time? 44 seems like an odd pick as the HMTU... obviously 270 is closer but I assume they were tied up... SQ252, SQ61?

At 9/11, the 40 cars were for SOC. Downey (Rescue) was 40A, Chief of HAZMAT I believe 40B, Chief of Marine 40C. That said, these aren't the designations today as SOC are all 11 cars. Also definitely not the Queens boro, which is Car 9.

Can I also add: some photographers/videographers have built personal relationships with some of the chiefs in question, and have a proven track record for showing respectful discretion on what they film and therefore likely get some latitude that a random member of the public likely wouldn't...

Two Deputies in the video from Skyler, anybody know why?

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the extra CTUs have all of the capabilities of CTU1, so I am guessing CTU1 is assigned as normal, but given CTU1 is coming from SOC and CTU4 is much closer, they assign both
