I have a Buddy that's a Capt of EFD R1- Elizabeth is a busy job (as are most of the North Jersey FDs) EFD is also very involved in the NJ/NY UASI/USAR operations. They definitely have had their share lately!

MJ, Is this the new Yonkers Fly-Car?

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).....

SQ-11 responds to all "routine" responses of an Engine company, as in EMS runs, automatic alarms, and fire runs when 1st-4th due (etc).They also respond to gas leaks in Eastside part of city (while R-1 has the Westside)and assigned to auto accidents on 2-parkways (R-1 on others)and as part of SpecOps, any "rescue" type jobs (trench,collapse,rope etc.) as part of Special Operations response. They are also assigned in place of Rescue-1 if we are tied up. SQ-11 does respond outside of city as m/a engine or Soc unit.

Newark is the largest City in NJ, and a busy career department- much work (no Ems). http://www.newarkfirehistory.com/
