1.2 mil for a sand truck. What does that do at a fire?

1.5 mil for a tanker or is there more than one. Seems high for 1 unit.

Its a foam tanker, which does require some additional items beyond a regular water tanker. But yes that's high, I would think its double the price.

These are for multiple units, I believe there will be 4 new no frills foam tankers and more than one ATRV.

You and all the unlucky companies with the Ferrara reamounts. They're junk, poorly built junk.

Love all the "toys".......

Now can we get some functional front line apparatus that spends more time in service than out?

In 2014 it's hard to find any manufacturer that can fit that bill. The more electronic rigmarole they add, the less we get to actually use the rigs.

Do you mean command tactical unit (CTU) or tactical support unit (TSU)? The only TCUs I've ever heard about with the FDNY are the tactical control unit in Report from engine co.82.

It's a much needed new fire scene unit for the Marshals. Multiple features that the Fire Marshals of the FDNY need for the examination and collection of evidence at fire scenes, photography, communication capabilities, etc. They currently fulfill this role with an old ambulance body unit that needs to be replaced.
