Was this just to cover Rescue manpower whilst the reserves activated or have they some specialised role or equipment which had them called in?

Watching the live coverage this morning, many Brothers digging by hand through the rubble with clouds of dust around them - and NOBODY IS WEARING A MASK. ConEd vac trucks are removing crumpled plaster, but not mitigating the dust cloud.
What could be in that plaster dust etc. that they are breathing in, and where is the safety protocols that should be in place?!!
For incidents like this, why not have on hand filters that can be attached to our facepieces, similar to what was issued at the WTC site. MSU could have cartons of these at the ready and throw them on the van.

For their surveying equipment

 

[IRONLUNG]

Supposedly New Rochelle R*4 is responding

why?

 

[Roof’s open]

For their surveying equipment

Wouldn’t NYC DOB have that?

Wouldn’t NYC DOB have that?

No clue, just what I was told why they were responding. It had to be something specific. If there’s one thing they don’t need it’s manpower we have plenty.

probably just manpower, cant imagine theres much the fdny doesnt have

they don't have vac trucks... always seem to have to rely on ConEd for that

I wonder if they will ever change the decaling on the R11-15 rigs to show them as 11-15 or use the flip style numbers like other spares.

Also I have a question I understand the reserve rescues are staffed by "Rescue" but my question is are the individual companies calling in guys on OT to staff their respective Rescue. Or is it Rescue trained members from around the city that are told to report to a Rescue house? Or can it be any SOC member?
