More then likely yes. Some divisions are testing encryption now and an update is being put out into the APX radios so yes. Who knows exact timeline though.

Hi Axle 2, 3 and 4 are only units in service as of now. Who knows if and when additional units will be staffed. Different priorities nowadays.

Well there was not a 10-75 transmitted. After being 84 for about 10 minutes the battalion transmitted the All hands and within 60 seconds an engine was relocated into 219. Why let the facts get in the way of a good internet story.

There has been little to no official info on this rigs intended use, function or responses or location....anything you see here is pure speculation and internet folklore......

The stats are really inflated. It is not really a good barometer of the work. The amount of All hands Under Control that normally would be a 10-18 or a 2+2 is up exponentially the last 2-3 years. All these stats do is promote internet folklore and hypothetical buff scenarios. Unfortunately that...

The new standards from NFPA or whoever dictate that PPE needs to be stored separate from passenger compartment unless a rather cost prohibitive filtration system is installed in command and 1st response vehicles hence the reason for capped pickups and Sq51 type vehicles.

This rig has been in the works for several years and the new sattelites were supposed to be of a similar design but a change of staff chiefs and changing priorities saw this rig as a result. The DX of FT01 was not the reason for this rig. Also NYC has the most robust municipal water system in...

Before 87 was established, 82 was 2nd due from the SI mall area to Huguenot Ave give or take a few blocks. 87 took boxes from 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 and 76.....but traffic and the amount of houses and population in the area was a fraction of what it is today.

This was supposed to be the design of all 6 of the new sattelites but it was shot down. No concrete plans yet but since the foam tender is gone 238 or 206 may be a good bet.

Command Tactical Unit is now part of SOC and is based for now on Roosevelt Island as part of the new FDNY Robotics Unit. They are expanding their robotics and drone capabilities as equipment and training takes place.

81 and 169 were from original order and damaged in Sandy and replaced.....They were OOS alot before Sandy finished them. 24 I believe was also from original order and a lemon too.

The new FDNY APX portables are capable of encryption and are already programmed with encrypted channels. Given the events of the last few weeks NYPD needs to go encrypted sooner then later. Too many stolen and buff programmed radios out there that were causing problems and putting NYPD and FDNY...

Yes CW2.....despite what other groups are reporting this is a planned routine maintenance of the radio system. The other boro's will be switching as well.

The PA has 4 other major airports in its empire or soon to be in it.....Newark, Teterboro, Stewart in Orange County NY and soon Atlantic City International in NJ..The locals in those areas are all volunteer or limited manpower career or combo departments...Very unlikely if not impossible to meet...
