    The heading of the post says hazmat truck, but I don't see that wording on the unit. Is this a special hazmat unit, or a generic major unit response unit? Either way, nice looking truck. It appears to have a Federal Q, which is, after all, critical. Unless it is a fake federal. Either way, I look forward to working alongside the YPD ESU with this new gear.

    Yes, but they did strictly BLS transport between facilities. AA Ambulance based in the Bronx had the Yonkers 911 contract which it won from Abbey Richmond. Empress got it when all of the medics at AA Ambulance (of which I was one) walked out on them at midnight and went to Empress. There is a lot more to the story in terms of behind the scenes stuff, but that's the Cliff Notes version.
