When do the CPC second pieces respond?

They were suppose to be assigned on High Rise Fires, all CPCs have the fans.

Not all CPC trained units have vent fans. Nowhere close.

Also. A CPC unit is assigned with a decon task force.

Oh ok. That's usually a hazmat duty, but in a city that huge, that makes a ton of sense!

The introduction of CPC concept was explained to me from FDNY Firefighter Phil McArdle, charter member of Hazmat Compny 1. He was interviewed in upcoming book, "They Saved New York."
