Why would a land locked Marine unit need a Stanley hydraulic rescue system ….the same that all the Rescue companies carry on their rescue collapse rig and the TAC already carry ? And at what type of incident whould they anticipate using one…or a incident where one may be needed and the the...

👆👆. Bingo ….winner winner ……!

I find that very hard to believe …so then why a new engine company going to Rescues’ fire house on 43rd St when they move out ?

The city drop the ball on something like this with Hudson Yards. They should have demanded the builder include a firehouse for a development of that size. So now here we are, with the surrounding companies running their asses off do to the size and population of Hudson Yards. supposedly R-1...

The ladder & eng companies don’t have divers. Only the rescue companies have divers. The ladder & engine companies are surface swimmers.

👆what he said ! Generally, nearest companies respond , regardless of boro lines.

Engine heavy triangle !!

Squads don’t dive …just the 5 Rescue companies. And ALL the present fdny scuba instructors are PADI certified instructors and dive masters. ….and its been that way for a long time. Never had anyone “who knew scuba diving well enough to teach others“ as instructors. The type of diving...

Then after ems moved out , the build became the SOC , warehouse/RDC( rescue deployment center )where ALL of SOC,s equipment was able to be stored inside and in one centrally located location. All the SOC reserve and spare rigs , all the high axel veh , zodiac boats and John boats on trailers ...

Yes …many. And when they do happen between stations most likely a Box is transmitted for both stations …bringing even more personal. “ The more the merrier“ is not always a good thing …operating on the track bed is a very dangerous place. Especially when FD members are carrying metal stokes...

And yes I’ve operated at both…more man under then I care to recall.

A man under and a trench are two different job….apples or oranges. A trench is a VERY equipment and personal intensive operations. And yes …can last hours. Not the case w a man under. Air bags or a bottle jack , some gribbing , back board or Revees sleeve … 2 or 3 guys under the train…anymore...

Ok….so , now we’re down to 20 FF.

That’s 25 fire fighters , 5Lt/ Capt & 3BC for one in event ….a bit of a over kill, don’t ya think. Even if the person is pinned under the train , the most you can get Safely under a train to perform the removal is 3 , maybe 4 , members to perform the operation. Up until recently , a SOC support...

That’s a first due box for R-4 ...why would they be “added”?

From the video , looks like TL-124 was first due. Excellent positioning of the Tl bucket ...able to scrub all 3 wood frames buildings from their position.

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...
