Was this style chief car ever used, anyone know the back story on it or what happened to it?
Los Angeles City Fire attempted to do something similar, assigning their BCs rigs with compartmented bodies like that. It did not last long as they found it to be problematic, expensive, and far less useful than they originally expected.Thats why they should give batt. Rigs like the ems paramedics have. With the box on back with all separate compartments
The new standards from NFPA or whoever dictate that PPE needs to be stored separate from passenger compartment unless a rather cost prohibitive filtration system is installed in command and 1st response vehicles hence the reason for capped pickups and Sq51 type vehicles.
So what about all the present Rigs in the FDNY ? how could this be practical ?The new standards from NFPA or whoever dictate that PPE needs to be stored separate from passenger compartment unless a rather cost prohibitive filtration system is installed in command and 1st response vehicles hence the reason for capped pickups and Sq51 type vehicles.
So now guys are going to get out of the truck and have to stand in traffic to get and put on the SCBA not a smart moveIt’s called clean cab concept
Redefining the Clean Cab Concept - Fire Apparatus
Frank Leeb reviews the clean cab concept, which is based on the desire to minimize firefighter cancer risk. But how can a clean cab be accomplished without sacrificing operational effectiveness?www.fireengineering.com
And now the Yukon and Tahoe are available with a diesel.All an FDNY BN needs for a vehicle is a GMC Yukon or a Chevy Tahoe.
I understand the clean cab concept. My question was where is this written as an NFPA guideline? I hear a lot of people "quoting" NFPA mandates, but I don't see it written or an NFPA statute on it.It’s called clean cab concept
