TSU question

[ConcordFireParamedic]

I am a rescue buff and I have been wondering for some time, what equipment the TSU's have on them. I know the basic stuff, but could someone with some inside knowledge tell me what all it carries, thanks

There is a good summary of TSU (and other apparatus) equipment in "Fire Department of New York --an Operational Reference."  The current edition is available from FSP Books & Videos and the FDNY Fire Zone store.
