TLTruckie said:I have done a few of the stand by for the POTUS over the past few years , The Rescue , a foam unit and the purple K unit are out on the pier , the two engines assigned with the foam and purple K units are out on Water street on a hydrant with supply lines stretch out on the pier .Tac-1 also but not OOS for the detail, I don't ever recall a Truck being assigned . No FDNY diver out on any of the fire boats , the NYPD Harbor & SCUBA units have that responsibility , but the the Rescue on the pier has their SCUBA equipment if need be . No special clearance needed to do the stand by, but the Secret Service does go though EVERY compartment of the three rigs out on the pier w a K-9 dog . Once the Secret Service "clears" the three rigs they can't leave the pier . If the POTUS is just in town for the day the rigs stay put for the length of his stay. Its a long day of hurry up and wait . The actual time the POTUS is on the pier is probably less then 2 minutes .
Does the SS also to a check of each member??
