The Coast Guard towed the vessel to Caddell Dry Dock from Kill Van Kull.  (From silive)

A few questions:

Where was Marine 9?

Say another post saying SI is requesting a "MART" truck???  Do they mean MERV? 

SI frequency difficult to hear,  could be things we think we heard

Good job Ten-seventy-seven

Marine 9 was assigned to the box . . . along with Marines 1 & 6

 

[Ten-seventy-seven]

L78 was assigned in as the water rescue truck

I heard the request for the MART truck,  they said E164 return to base and collect it.  I assumed it was the polaris unit with the boat?

Frequency is very difficult to hear.

I see now, its the MARC unit - the boat E 164 has:

I was driving my son and grandson to the ferry around 16:35 when I saw Marine 9 (new boat) go by in "emergency mode", she moves pretty fast! When I was getting close to home around 16:50, I saw E242 going up Clove Rd. to relocate.

are they the only fire house with a marc unit?

 

[guitarman314]

E158 has one too.

 

[SoHoTruckin20]

thanks G-Man

Was PD harbor involved at all? because i heard this over the police radio as i was pulling out of the PCT.

 

[Joes1051]

E158 has one too.

158 had it when they first came out. The Marc and the polaris were transferred to 154 and have been there for 4 or 5 years.
