Kudos to YFD on their confidence and on another well thought out,equipped, and needed apparatus! I'm sure we'll start seeing it at incidents soon!

I would hope Yonkers FD, are you asking what station is responsible for driving it?

Primarily members assigned to Special Operations Command and what ever other personnel resources are required for the specific incident

Who makes up "SOC" as far as daily operations? Does this mean the members that staff a rescue/squad, training ect...are there members not assigned to a company that comprise SOC?

~Sorry to hijack the topic just a bit, but the Chief's answer spurred a little curiosity.~

Chief, has YFD purchased all their new equipment and apparatus, along with that for SOC with their annual budgeted money or is this equipment/apparatus or a portion thereof purchased thru Grant money filed for and received post 9-11. Just curious.

Combination of all

I got the official tour from Chief Fitz the other day, the pics don't do it justice. Would love to take this thing on vacation!!! Very nice set up inside and out, now just have to use it a couple times a year...hint-hint! Can't wait to check out the live video uplink from aviation one day!
