Trying to figure out why 7 MSU Trucks. The 3 Big MSU Trucks have a lot of miles on them so sure they are being replaced. But can’t see 7 big trucks as Manhattan they use the Vans for easier navigation. The newest Van is a 2019 I believe. MSU can only fit 3-4 trucks inside the station

Replace current + spares. Could imagine they may also try to decentralize to either two points (or more) for the MSUs
 
I wonder if they are going to try to give each Squad a front line and stocked spare like they do with the Rescue's.

Also - 2-year build time? Try 3-4 unless Seagrave is letting them cut the line.
 
Does anybody know why they stick to 1000gpm pumps for the squads? Most of the rest of FDNY engines are now 2000gpm. Is there a space difference in a 1000gpm vs. 2000gpm pump that would allow the squad to have more compartment space?
