That’s right I forgot about the high-rise units possibly getting a pump added to their unit for fire fighting capabilities and foam capabilities is there any update to this project

Whatever happened to that foam tender are they gonna replace it too that could be a good second piece for the new high-volume pumper that they have or sp as the call it

Mr. bulldog it’s not the fact that they need a tender per se as in a satellite unit but as in to carry all the extra hoses and pumps and boosters etc. that they will need when they don’t have a fire boat at their disposal and even when they have the fire boat there’s still a lot that needs to be...

The new super pumper actually needs its own super tender

At what psi is the boat supplying the pumper

Never ending supply of water with that fire boat but I know with most big refinery fires where this thing is most likely going to be used there’s not a lot of water resources so they’re gonna have to have a pretty good relay system going to a nearby water supply

Are they drafting seawater is there anything special they have to do to do that or do they just flush it was a regular water after

I’m just saying since most of the stuff is already duplicated on other apparatus like the rescue trucks then something of this type can be implemented.

Don’t they act like a scene support unit as well with lights unless there’s another type of unit that does that I wasn’t sure if there was an illumination unit But that was a good history lesson searchlights were something ice always has a kid in the early 80s were there they were used to help...

Since there are only two of them I wouldn’t mind seeing both of them upgraded to a full-size rotator type unit similar to what LAFD has and LA County has that way FDNY has two large basically cranes available to them to help with overtime vehicles and other types of heavy rescues, and that way...

So if the rescue companies have basically everything that is carried on a Tac unit, then it’s redundant to have the Tac units, unless other units use them for something else. I do see that they respond to second alarms what would be their function at something like this?

Good stuff

Does FDNY have a CO2 unit?

I did forget about the collapse Riggs, that is true the TSU’s‘s are mostly used by the rescue companies but if they had their own unit dedicated to them.

Hey thanks for the reply on that I was interested in knowing what they carry as well and I figured that the squad support truck would need to be bigger than the HMTU truck but I don’t know how much Hazmat gear is required from a Hazmat engine even though they’re not the main Hazmat unit they’re...

Then why not give the HMTU Hazmat engines the same thing then it was just my opinion don’t get all fired up

When’s squad 8 receive that HMTU unit as their second piece, I thought that they finally got it right. they just look better together going down the road, they look like a unit. I’m not a big fan of the international freightliner style second pieces that the squads currently have or that...

Haha ok got it, thanks

Okay so this is probably been asked 1 million times but what’s on a Nolan rail cart
