Helps the chauffer spot the tip of the aerial when setting up around parapets and other obstructions. Also helps when driving if the tip of the aerial extends beyond the edge of the cab.

Technically yes. I'm not sure if they actually would though. I'm not aware of any department billing for a structure fire. I have heard of billing for supplies, like lumber at a shoring job or speedy dry for a hazmat call.

It's not just OT that the unions would have an issue with, it's safety and manning. In Westchester, just about every career firefighter has all of the county fireground frequencies in their portables. Every IC has access to the trunked system and just about any other channel they would need. The...

So then on the flip side, what it the acceptable number of rigs for the FDNY to send out of the city? Sure, NYC has a much deeper pool of resources, but sending even one rig out leaves that area short of fire protection. If I lived in the North Bronx I'd probably disagree with some of the...

Dont forget radio interoperability issues, mismatched hose threads etc. The reality is there used to be an annual FDNY/Westchester mutual aid drill. They haven’t held it in years because the FDNY decided not to participate. There’s enough hurdles getting the Westchester departments to be able...

Pelham Manor TL-3 operated at the scene. Greenville SQ-15 covered @ FDMV Station #3.

Awesome!!Thanks!!

Looking to see if anyone knows what brand/model multi-gas meters that the FDNY companies carry for natural gas investigations and what additional meters the Rescues and Squads are carrying.

I know the FDNY has rigs stored on the island. Any idea if they were used or if the assigned companies use their own rigs? I assume the ferry is limited as to how many rigs they can transport at a time.

Diagonally behind 70/53’s quarters.

I wonder if they are going to try to give each Squad a front line and stocked spare like they do with the Rescue's. Also - 2-year build time? Try 3-4 unless Seagrave is letting them cut the line.

Interesting that this came in as a Con Ed gas detector activation. My job had Con Ed in for training a while back and they said they have had a number of working fires originate through their alarms. I've yet to respond a to a Con Ed detector that was a false alarm. I guess they seem to be...

The problem is thats how these companies bilk the customers. Just like the “blackout packages” everyone is spending on now to make their rigs look cool for parade season. I heard years ago that there was a push for a common spec. A bunch of people sat on a committee (I believe it may have been...

Could be to run water for concrete breaching tools. Typically, concrete cutting tools (ring saws, chain saws, boring drills etc.) will have garden hose ports to keep the dust down while they're cutting. Looks like the rig has some sort of booster tank and manifold to supply their tools.

I heard that the foundry that makes the Halligan closed up and they are going to be scarce for while. Hope no one buys a hooligan bar instead.
