It is Alcohol-Resistant AFFF. There is no on-board induction system. A 2 1/2" input/ 2 1/2" output eductor is used along with a large bucket that the 5 gallon pails are poured into. There is a 2 1/2" coupling foam playpipe for delivery. It isn't fancy but it has been used successfully on many occasions.

The Foam Unit carries a supply of AFFF in 5 gallon containers and has Master Stream Foam Delivery equipment. It responds with E313 and L73 whose crews are trained in its deployment.

Too sad.

I used to visit my dad when he was assigned. there. I remember that if you walked in the apparatus door, to the left (the west side of the building) was the day room. On the right side (east) you went up a few steps and there was the company office. I used to play on that Ward LaFrance shown in the black and white photo above.

Very sad. RIP

I posted your request in the internal YFD alumni forum. Maybe it will help. I wasn't working that night but remember hearing that it was a difficult fire. Chief Webster was a great tactician, a great Chief. He would frequently gather us at challenging locations to preplan. He was a great model for developing officers.

No, Yonkers only runs one Rescue Company per tour under normal circumstances. Today, RES1 is being used at a drill so RES2 is covering the city. The crew is 1 Officer, 3 Firefighters. (Normally, if RES1's apparatus breaks down, the spare would be designated RES1.)

Good Luck Doc!

The Squad responds: 1.As an Engine would normally. 2.If the Rescue isn't available, it responds on reported Structure Fires Citywide. 3.For Inside Gas Emergencies, they respond for half the city. (The Rescue responds on the other half) 4.On some parkways, they respond with on Vehicle Accident assignments instead of the Rescue. 5.For Mutual Aid, they're frequently used as the Engine that is sent. 6.For Building/Trench Collapse, they respond with the Collapse Unit (kept in their quarters.) 7.They're part of the HazMat Task force for large HazMat incidents. 8. They carry an inflatable boat when flooding occurs in the city. 9. They are an Extrication Unit. (Have the Jaws etc.) I might have missed some of their functions...
