There are, but there few and far in-between. At 1 point and i dont know if it's changed or not but on 269 and 37 certain units are designated as drafting companies. E331 is/was 1 on 269.

Airport ops vehicles and push back tugs also have to have atc approval before doing certain things. (Kennedy Steve on yt loved to pick on Deltas tugs) What a lot of people dont realize is that airports are really dangerous in general but looks routine.Until it isn't. Even just working airside...

If im not mistaken, each airport has staffing based on its load. I think Washington for example has only 1 from a certain time on based on low activity. I honestly dont know what the levels are for LGA during what times. But yeah there is a problem staffing training and retaining atc. Even if...

I beleive so. There was questions about similar manning in Washington when the helo hit the commuter plane last year.

Probably getting a number in line like everyone else. Unless a specific set of circumstances pop up that require some one jumping the line.

Having worked the ramp at Kennedy and looked at least on the surface at several recent incidents, theres a few different ways it could happen. I dont want to speculate, until some more facts come out. And theres more near misses and incident on the ground that make the rounds.

The system exists. Where i used to work, we had AVLs in every rig for that reason. It was used mostly, by the ambulances. The downside is, that they were constantly getting stuck in other areas. For hours on end. But using it for fire calls, especially multiples that go quick it can be very...

There's a few cracks forming here and in the theory. But dont expect major changes.

Didn't say it was right, and I've had this conversation with people i worked with.( theres more then a few sogs in my old dept with my name associated with it for similar things) People dont care what the number is on the side of the truck, the name or slogan or anything else. All they care...

From what I understand, the Rescues are very territorial. With a few limited differences basically each rescue covers their Boro. Doesn't matter if 1 is already on the road or 10 minutes closer.

Broad Channel, Hamilton Beach and Howard Beach, all have similar roads. Un marked, barely marked or you have to get lost to find it. I forget the names off hand but theres more then yould think.

Where was 285? I know the cad is " different " after the bridge, but hands down they'd beat 236, and definitely 293 and 308.

According to Broad Channels fb page, West Hamilton Beach provided Mutual Aid. Doesnt specify engine or ambulance. Also it was Broad Channel Engine 203 that responded.

2nd job for 173 today.

They are. Dont think they have manifolds. I know they dont carry foam just hose. 308s is formerly Sat 3. At least on fdnytrucks site. It may have been replaced with a different one. Its listed as a 93. Pretty sure its been replaced with an 06 316s is formerly sat 6 06 Mack Ferara

More then likely. Basically find a hydrant somewhere, hook up, take off every discharge cap, open every discharge and let the water run for about 10 or 20 minutes, operate each gate a few times and call it a night/ day. With today's materials in the pumps and valves, salt water drying out and...

They may not be the VSu They may be assigned because of the type of structure. L160 was assigned as a s/c.

I remember excerpts from the book at the moment. Have to find it again and reread it. Its kind of like Emergency! from the 70s. The more that has changed, the more that stayed the same.

Was it? For some reason I thought it was mentioned as a tiller. I do remember the 27 there but it was mentioned somew here they parked out front.

I understand that completely but they really dont have a choice. The manufacturers add inches every so often, which add up over time. Look at the difference between 70s 75 Mack/Baker vs today's 75 Seagrave. Its not an overnight thing, it happens over years and decades. Orlando FD bought a 70...
