Will it be called squad 154 or squad 8?
 
Looks like it may be called Squad 8 judging from the poster they had in the pic. My question is will it be quartered WITH E154 (don?t see the point) or in place of E154? It?d be cool if E154 stayed and the new Squad served as a Truck company for the area being they don?t have one. Either way great day for SI and the dept.
 
Is there an equipment list of the stuff that carried on the second piece of a squad company
 
I wonder if that HMTU unit that is being built that was possibly going to rescue five might be shifted to squad eight instead
 
I hope there?s a dedicated operator for that foam truck because I doubt school at eight is going to cross staff the foam truck and the brush truck

They?re not gonna dedicate people to the foam units
The foam and Bfu will get sent to neighboring firehouses

I'll one up you.

Is there a list of equipment carried on the primary piece as well as the second? I've been looking only been able to find some videos of the not so current apparatus.
 
G-MAN.........  PLEASE CHIME IN ANY ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS SINCE YOU ARE BY THE S.I. BIG HOUSE... 160/5/8/TAC ECT ECT

I personally think allot are confused with the Squad sign.  I feel they were trying to show that there will be 8 Squad company's in the FDNY.... 

ENGINE COMPANY 154 will be designated SQUAD CO.  154

THE FOAM UNIT WILL BE ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER UNIT THAT HAS ROOM IN THERE QUARTERS.

THE JOB SHOULD REFURBISH ONE OF THE BETTER SPARES (2008) AND ASSIGN IT TO E 165

THE JOB SHOULD TAKE E 165s  SQUAD STYLE RIG RELETTER IT AND ASSIGN IT TO E 154 ( SQ 154 )

WHEN THE FIRST NEW KME ARRIVES ( KP 19001)  ASSIGN IT TO E 165

WHEN THE NEW SQUAD APPARATUS ARRIVES ASSIGN IT TO
SQUAD 154 AND PUT THERE APPARATUS INTO THE SQUAD SPARE POOL.

E 165 WILL BE THE S.I. HAZ MAT ENGINE AND GET A 2ND PIECE

G-MAN ????????

Well, I'm not the GMan (although sometimes I wish I had his knowledge), but I'm inclined to disagree with you, Aux.  The sign that the Commissioner had next to him clearly stated "Squad Company 8", not "Squad Company 154".  Also, Peter Haskell of WCBS radio reported that Squad 8 will "join Engine 154 in Travis", which suggests that it will be an entirely new company.  Of course, we have to assume he's right, since reporters NEVER make mistakes, right?  ::) ::) But who knows . . . stranger things have happened.

That certainly sounds like some reasonable assumptions although things don't actually happen reasonably a lot of the time.

  I agree with everything you said, you Doug.
 
All valid points, but seems like a lot of moving around of apparatus and whatnot. Plus being it?s NYC, that could take some time. I too think it would be Squad Company 8, and if it?s not that sign is extremely misleading lol.
