More of an in-depth on the existing BFUs rather than new rigs; think someone on SILive is a few years behind...

the reporter doing the voice over was so monotone. and didn't bfu 4 have that rig for a few years already?

This BFU (#4) has been in service for about four years.It's the only one of its kind, the rest are the very large international rigs.

BFU5 has a similar albeit not identical rig, as does the Governor's Island BFU (if it's still out there that is)

I thought that BFU 5 was identical to or was the one at BFU 4 before they got their current one. Check out the pictures at fdnytrucks.com. It appears to back up my beliefs on this.

When I originally saw the thread I thought maybe they were finally going to get rid of the 1997 Internationals. Those things pretty much are only good for getting stuck.
