So the reason FDNY wants to make this multi purpose vehicle if they need to more water rescue units. They can with boat and motor compartment and with the crew cab can have the full water rescue team to be sent out in case of another event like Hurricane Sandy.

Bulldog, Yes it is 5. After talking with a few people, It was typo for quantity of 9. It is also the same question for collapse rescue with quantity. It is also the same thing about squad support because that suppose to 25 trucks but only went to 1 just for squad 8. But we will see. Unless you...

Just remember that it is probably close 3-4 million for each rescue. This is due to buying spare parts, all the trips the inspection teams have to do for each, the training required for the mechanics, and firefighters, all the service manuals and documentation. Those are all separate line items...

I have attached the specs for the Collapse Rescues. The date for bid got change to march instead of February. Yes these are for 7 Rigs.

So being US Navy Sailor, Ventilation is really big enemy on a ship board fire. If no lives onboard and verified by ship muster than shut down ventilation, and take time to drown the fire out. Ship board firefighting is one of the most dangerous fires out because the fire does not only travel up...

Yeah, it would be a long run but Rac 3&4 were still at the 4th alarm. And rac 2 was assigned on the initial alarm. Now I am guessing, (just my honest opinion) is that they kept rac 1 available for rest of city.

If I am not mistaken, the FDNY only has the box style on the back of there chassis'. The only major difference is the chassis, during COVID time FDNY leased E-series chassis instead of the F-series due the fact that ambulance manufacture had them sitting on the lot. E-series were not built to...

I agree, @Bulldog. I do not understand the 9 units. Unless they use the research and development clause which could allow the FDNY to try new engines, configurations, much more. So it will be interesting to see.

This was right out of the bid book as Scope/Intent: "THE INTENT OF THIS SOLICITATION IS TO PROCURE A TANDEM AXLE HEAVY DUTY RESCUE APPARATUS AS PER ATTACHED SPECIFICATION FOR THE NEW YORK CITY, FIRE DEPARTMENT." Also states the timeline of build: "5 years." So it will be awarded in this year...
