[nfd2004]

The info regarding FAST Co is located on this site under "Photography", "Ladder 62". see page 2, 5th post down for a small explanation of "FAT Engines", and "FAST Truck". Just a quick story on the beginning's of FDNYs FAST Co.

Bxboro: we used to utilize numbers for Exposures and switched to letters some time ago. No clue why.

during an incident where the fast co is used and are committed, is there another fast co in reserve? or do they special call another fast co? or do they just redesignate a ladder co for the task thanks.

are all trucks fast trucks or are just some fast trained?

 

[catry]

All trucks, rescues, and squads are FAST-trained and carry the equipment for it.  A single FAST truck is assigned on all Incidents of 10-75 or greater, usually the 3rd due truck.  Should another FAST Truck be needed it will usually be special called by the Incident Commander, and is usually the next nearest available truck.  If a FAST Truck is put to work another truck will be designated FAST, either from the already assigned trucks or if needed a special call.
