I always hear charlie 1 and david 1 on sod channel responding to hazmat calls ive heard that they are based out of floyd bennit field but what is there ultimate purpose. are they strictly hazmat or can they respond to typical esu calls and are they the guys that stand by at wall street with the big guns or is that seperate

Here is a quick run down,

NYPD ESU "Trucks"

1 - Manhattan

2 - Manhattan

3 - Bronx

4 - Bronx

5 - Staten Island

6 - Brooklyn South

7 - Brooklyn

8 - Brooklyn North

9 - Queens South

10 - Queens North

11 - Haz-Mat Truck at ESU Base (Floyd Bennett Field)

NYPD ESU "Adam" & "Boy" Units

Adam 1 / Boy 1 - Manhattan

Adam 2 / Boy 2 - Manhattan

Adam 3 / Boy 3 - Bronx

Adam 4 / Boy 4 - Bronx

Adam 5 / Boy 5 - Staten Island

Adam 6 / Boy 6 - Brooklyn South

Adam 7 / Boy 7 - Brooklyn

Adam 8 / Boy 8 - Brooklyn North

Adam 9 / Boy 9 - Queens South

Adam 10 / Boy 10 - Queens North

NOTE:

- "Truck" is the Large ESU Trucks similar to that of FDNY Rescue Co's

- "Adam"/"Boy" units are the Mini ESU Trucks = Ford Cab/Utility Body (REP)

- "Charlie"/"David" units are additional Mini ESU Trucks aka Extra Units

same as the "Adam"/"Boy" units.

Manhattan often has additional ESU units on and you will sometime hear

the "Charlie" and "David" units. "Charlie 1" / "David 1" ( 1 = Manhattan)

ESU Supervisors:

ESU 1 - Commanding Officer "CO"

ESU 2 - Executive Officer "XO"

ESU 3 to ESU 11 - Supervisors

ESU 20 - Haz Mat Supervisor

I hope that helps!
