This is a 2014 rig. What did it run as before Field Com 1?

 

It's always been Field Com 1. Built in 2014, delivered in 2015, will go into service (if not already) in 2016.

Who staffs the Field Com Units? Fire Alarm Dispatchers?

It is staffed with dispatchers (2, I think) and firemen and officers.

there is one Field Comm unit for FDNY,and in the past it was staffed by one dispatcher and one lieutenant. The officer reports to the command post and relays any orders/updates to the dispatcher in the Field Comm unit for further action.

At first look I this rig definitely looks like a rescue or hazmat unit.  It's a great looking rig, and a nice improvement for the FDNY.  Congrats!

Where are the Field Comm Units located around the City?

There is only one Field Comm. Unit in service. It is located at the quarters of E233/L176 on Rockaway Ave. in Brownsville/Bed-Stuy.

If only we utilized our Field Comm here in Westchester... it - and the people working in it - have so much to offer...

It's on certain departments box alarms, but we've been told even if we request it, it will be denied. 

 

Its a great show piece for PR events though
