I think we need to better define " Cascade ". Thats a pretty generic term that does not describe the capacity of the equipment and with a "Cascade," capacity is pretty important. A standard "Cascade System" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage Cylinders ONLY A "Cascade with Booster" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage with electrical or pneumatic pump to boost low pressure to high presssure. A "Compressor Refill System" - A High Pressure Pump usually (6000 psi) which fills High Pressure Storage Cylinders If anyone has a different type, please feel free to add. Stay Safe

FYI Utility 147 was acquired to be a prime mover for our support trailer. It is also going to be a driver training vehicle for any one starting to train for an MPO position. Right now only 21 year members can train to be a MPO. This is intended to allow 18 year old drivers the ability to start training on a larger vehicle without damaging a front line response unit. Once properly outfitted, at the discretion of the Chief, it may be used for storm duty. Original cost on this vehicle was over, $105,000.00 We acquired through surplus for $3700.00 Stay Safe

Primary function of FDNY is water supply at aircraft incidents. They are also responsible for all structural incidents on property. Once life safety priorities and extinguishment are accomplished by PAPD, the incident then becomes structural until the NTSB commences with the investigation. ref: 10th ed.

F.D.N.Y. Thread is 3.030 x 8 TPI NYC (New York Corp Thread) is 3.00 x 8 TPI **Threads Per Inch** These threads because they are so close in size are constantly getting mixed up. Eastchester, Mt. Vernon and Pelham Manor are listed as New York Corp New Rochelle and Pelham are FDNY In addition: You can put a FDNY Female on a NYC male coupling but you can not put a NYC Female on a FDNY male. BE CAREFUL, this could create a bad situation on the fire ground. Stay safe...

The correct term for "Freeze Protecting" a 2.5" gallon Water Fire Extinguisher is "Loaded Stream" Any local fire extinguisher company should be able to provide. It comes in powered form and can be mixed in a 5 gallon bucket to get your desired result. Meaning: The more you mix, the better the freeze protection, ie: 0, -10, -20 degree's. Hope this helps. Stay Safe.
