That sounds like it could be a cool division to work in.

 
It's always been Field Com 1. Built in 2014, delivered in 2015, will go into service (if not already) in 2016.

FDNY Field Com 1
2014 Seagrave
 

 

While I do not in any way wish to minimize the loss of life of the innocent victims of another terrorist atrocity, once again the President shows his lack of understanding of the Constitution in his directive to order all flags to be flown at half staff.  A well meaning gesture not grounded in actual law which is very specific as to the persons for whom the flag is to be lowered to half staff.
 
Over time we have diminished the significance of this honor just as we have the label 'Hero'.
 
I hope Obama had a nice time at the ballgame today,
 
 

There is also the other BS contingency plan....
 
Staffing RRV units with 2 firemen and an officer to respond solely to EMS.  This is nothing more than a "stop-the-clock" measure....
 
Wanna free up more ALS/BLS units?  Start a PSA about when you should call 911 and when you should buck-up for a cab!  Too often the "patient" having the emergency has all the ability to stop in the bathroom, get dressed and walk themselves downstairs....THATS NOT AN EMERGENCY CONDITION....

I like how when TC folded the Commissioner came out and said that FDNY had foreseen this scenario and made plans for it; in reality their plan was just to work their existing crews to death for as long as needed until someone came up with another idea.

It's unlikely they are F-350 with that size box..Just based off the picture they look like 168" -170" boxes so it's more likely F-450 Chassis. Correct me if I'm wrong those with FDNY knowledge was the last planned order from wheeled coach 156" boxes or 170" ?
 
Regardless unfortunately recoil is right ...looks like the "plan" is to just have open overtime for anyone that will take it and hope that the volunteer providers can also provide more crews.
 
 
 

FDNY has leased several new ambulances to fill the voids left by Transcare. The order was to get new ambulances ASAP. They appear to be Ford F-350 Superdutys with a Wheeled Coach module, and not FDNY spec. It's unknown the exact total that will be delivered. They are intended to be used until Wheeled Coach can begin delivery of a large order for FDNY-spec ambulances.
