Wow two MVA's involving NYPD vehicles and both needing extrications. Yikes! Is that second one involving the big Mack truck that ESU 5 has or is it one of their Ford ERV's? Also, was the second heading to the scene of the first one? Both scenes are less than a mile from each other.

See my post on the latest Brooklyn 2nd alarm.  Another example of acronym fever.

ERV:  Emergency Response Vehicle  (i.e. the ESU {argh, another acronym} guys.

Thank you catry for that post. It's nice to see other run cards other than fires. Gives brother's not working in the City, a chance to get a understanding on FDNY response's to other incidents. Thanks

I believe Rescue 5 reported it to be the large Mack truck.  My guess is it was most likely responding to the first MVA.

Yup, RMP is just the fancy term NYPD gives it patrol cars...

RMP is actually a holdover from the 1930's, when radio-equipped patrol cars became commonplace.  Before that, they were just "MP" units (i.e. motor patrol, to distinguish them from foot patrol or even horse mounted patrol).  Foot patrol was the most common then (remember the expression "the cop on the beat?). I wonder how many foot patrol beats there are in NYC now?

I actually never heard of it as an RMP till I got on the job. I always referred to them like my father did as a radio car.

There are still enough that I see around Brooklyn.

As for the accident. I can't find any coverage on it on any site.
