To my knowledge all 5 Rescues, all Squads, all Marine companies, and SOC have specialized water rescue equipment and training.

I know I was just repeating what you'd said

Heard it from a Maspeth shops guy that the idea has been considered. I don't recall when.

Negative. Shops guy mentioned in another thread about a month ago that the first one is earmarked for Bronx 48. Several of the new Seagrave rearmounts are supposedly in production already.

To my knowledge very few city Depts in the US use high-pressure pumps like these. I doubt they'd be able to find a buyer easily.

Hah…. would be backed in there one day and there it would remain, never to see the light of day again….

Sat mounted monitor requires use of two engines.

Bronx is getting the first of the new batch

It’s probably not gonna happen but I heard a rumor of a E329 TeleSquirt for this reason…..

Several of these were sitting at Seagrave New Brunswick, NJ last winter

They will do all 5 at once. They’re simple walk-around rescues; much easier to spec than engines. Side note: the 2020 Ferrara rescues are all over the place. They’ve been in and out of service again and again in the time they’ve been in NYC.
