Nice rig and a great addition to Elizabeth FD's Special Ops.

I have a buddy on Elizabeth Rescue-1, the rig (and new rescue rig) were purchased with funds from Homeland Security. Elizabeth maintains a comprehensive Special Operations division, responds to North Jersey departments on the M/A, and is responsible for sections of Newark Airport (Newark FD other parts) and Port Elizabeth (large sea container shipping port)They used to trailer a zodiak, but went with this e new TacSupport for quick launch of the boat. It is quartered with Engine-7, Ladder-1, Rescue-1 , the "Uasi" rescue rig, Collapse Unit (and Battalion & Division Chief) Firehouse- manned as needed by those members.

Here's a Pic of the new R-1 (GH photo).....

Nice shot! That rigs really a monster! Yeah, Elizabeth really has a large Special Ops. program, as well as a Haz-Mat. program. Engine 1, Engine 7, Ladder 1, Rescue 1, Rescue 2(UASI), Special Operations/Collapse Unit, and Tac. 1 are all part of EFD's Special Operations Task Force(All out of the Irvington Ave. Firehouse), and Engine 3, Engine 5, and Ladder 2 are all part of a Haz-Mat. Task Force.
