E268

[QUEENS1985]

I just saw E268 this morning, and they had a high rise nozzle on the rig. It must of been put there very recently. Did they decide to add another high rise engine for the rockaways ? (E266 is a high rise noz)

I believe the current plan is to have at least one if not two high-rise nozzle units in each Battalion.  You should be seeing a lot more companies citywide now sporting the nozzle.

Engine 160 has a High Rise Nozzle now

Don't forget the Broad Channel Volunteers (even if they're not on the Rockaway peninsula itself).

 

[firebuffkevin]

And the Roxbury and Breezy Point volunteers, they are on the channel.
