[Dr. Zuki 1]

Saw the published bid in the paper the other day for a new Yonkers FD Urban Search and Rescue trailer.

Can anybody elaborate please.

Thanks

The bid opening was last week, and Hackney won. The FD is passing it along the the City Council to award the bid.

The following are the specs. It will be slightly similar to LA County's USAR units, see photo of that unit at the link below:

Is there anything we are not getting down here? We have so many new resources, most of the dispatchers won't have any idea what is going on...
