    USAR to Hurricanes

    NY-TF 1 has been deployed with a type 3 team for about 10 days now to NC. The IMT is also deployed. The FDNY denied a EMAC request for EMS resources and is seeking availability for another deployment for Milton. I could see NY TF 1 going out the door with another Type 3 team.

    There is no longer a BC aide class. OTJ training. At this particular fire there were a lot of newly promoted officers and an ABC 1st due. Like it or not we have an experience deficit at all levels and it shows.

As far as SOC and Safety....Usually they go to 4-4 and higher more so in an unofficial capacity....nothing official as part...
