Joe, just as "Anesti" describes. They are FDNY/EMS units that carry extra medical equipment (stretchers, collars etc) for major EMS incidents. I believe each Boro has one. The one for the Bronx is stationed with the EMS Station at Jacobi Hospital.

LSU is pretty much what a MCI trailer/unit would be in other cities.
EMS Special Units:
LSU = MCI unit backboards and all restock equipment.
MERV = Mobile treatment unit
MRTU = Mobile O2 treatment for School mace incidents, CO and at fires for checking members for CO
METU? = New mass transport unit for hospital evacs and large patients.
WMD = Refrig box truck which has meds for large scale incidents such as a chemical attack. (Not on response Matrix)

The first of five EMS LSU trucks has been delivered. They are on the 2013 International TerraStar chassis with a Specialty Vehicle Solutions custom 15-foot body. One is to be assigned to each of the five EMS divisions to replace the five 2001 Ford F-450 trucks with Knapheide utility bodies. Equipment on each truck will include a 400+ square foot air inflatable tent.
