It looks like they wasted no time in removing the "Engine 154" from the building.
I'd like to think Engine 154's members did it but I don't know.

Drove by 11pm last night ... it was already removed

Does anyone know a contact at the New SQ 8? I own a company called NyFiregraphics and we do silk-screen, embroidery, patches, decals and much more check out our Facebook page

 

[FDNYSTATENISLAND]

Wonder where on the island their first ever job is going to be. Any guesses??

 

[btanner.indy]

Probably in their first due and will act as an Engine with Squad 1 coming as the Squad.  lol

I noticed in another post that the CADS designation for Squad 18 was E018.  Does anyone know what the CADS designation for Squad 8 is/will be?  Thanks!

They will get used to being turned around or standing fast real quick.

Sounds good to me...whats better than being the 1st Due ENG ?

 

[68jk09]

Just curious which areas of SI SQ*8 will arrive (as a SQ) before R*5 & vice versa ?      https://www.google.com/maps/place/3730+Victory+Blvd,+Staten+Island,+NY+10314/@40.5979098,-74.3205441,11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c24c8e5028e303:0x7bc70c03bce3a369!8m2!3d40.5978816!4d-74.1804645

Chief - This might be an approximate dividing line, but traffic would be a factor.  I think traffic would probably affect R 5 more than Sq 8.

   


Also, note the single engine companies on the West Shore of SI - E 158 and E 168.

 

[JA290]

Just a few Sq8 points
-1st & 2nd due engine boxes only
-they are a ?must fill? and a regular engine will be relocated any time they are seriouly unavailable. 
-they?re not to leave the island unless directed by a staff chief

 

[fred424]

Does anyone know if the BFU, Foam, and any other equipment has been relocated and if so where?

 

[HCO]

Foam Unit 154 moved to E-167 with E-162 as backup. Brush Fire Unit 4 is at E-167. The Polaris ATV and transporter is now at E-164. The John Deere ATV moved to E-168 with no dedicated transport vehicle.
In instances where a rescue is assigned for auto-extrications, Squad 8 will be additionally assigned in the first-due areas of Engines 151, 164, 167, and 168.
Squad 8 will be assigned as a HMTU when Haz-Tech Engine 165 is not available.
Rescue 5 is no longer designated a Haz-Mat Technician Unit and it?s Haz-Tech second piece has been removed from service.
