YFD's new SAFETY vehicle

[batt2 145]

New SAFETY Officer's vehicle as seen at YFD's SOC. Ford F350 6 3/4' bed with Leer Cap. Decals and Electronics done at TCD Mamaroneck. Batt1 and Batt2's vehicles will be sent to TCD shortly and will look similiar (but with a few minor changes.)

I like the look of the pickup. What equipment will this carry? A regular assortment of command materials? Was the pickup chosen because of the space?

[batt2 145]

Safety carries extra FAST team equipment and other gear. They also carry a backup command board. They sometimes have to transport FF's back from the hospital so we need room for personnel and their gear.

Thanks for the quick reply good luck to YFD with the new vehicle.

Thanks in advance

Just minor outside font changes and minor adjustments of equipment mounted inside. I don't have any new info on the rigs yet...

Did this come off of the FDNY EMS and Bat Chief fleet that came out recently? Looks similar, who did the work? If I missed it in the posts above I apologize - nice looking rig though, like that it carries extra FAST gear...

FDNY is using GMC Trucks. Yonkers are Fords.

Yonkers is using TCD in Mamaro

FDNY is using Odyssey in Jersey

Thank you and thank you for clarifying, I was taking a shot at the dark as I know Mount Vernon sometimes jumps on with FDNY bids...

Thanks again.

Imagine that, using a utility type vehicle for FAST equipment? And here I thought you needed a 65 foot long, 19 foot high, 75 ton "heavy rescue" for that. Silly cop, no donut! [/sarcasm]

Doesn't Mount Kisco use a utility for their FASTeam?

[mfc2257 464]

Mount Kisco uses an ambulance body on a ford E-450 chassis if I recall for their FAST.

[JM15 386]

Thats what I thought.

Mt. Kisco does use our utility which is a 98 PL Custom body for F.A.S.T responces. It was built specifically as a utility but yes it does look much like an ambulance. It makes sence using a scene support vehicle or in this case the safety batt. vehicle to carry F.A.S.T equipment. It doesn't tie up an engine, ladder or rescue. Our new Engine (E-106) is the back-up F.A.S.T truck. Best of luck with the new command car.

Why doesn't it say "QTIP" on it?!

That would be on Car - 3

[Remember585 815]

Nice, LOL.

[billfitz 109]

In service today - Batt 2 to follow next - possibly end of the week

[61MACKBR1 222]

Nice to hear Chief Fitz. I am sure that the Officers and Battalion Chiefs will certainly be very happy with these new Ford Trucks, designed with the needs of the Safety Chief and Battalion Chiefs within YFD. Any update on when YFD will take delivery on the New E-309, Squad-11, and Ladder 72 on your new Smeal/Spartan Rigs from NEFA and the New E-306 and E-308 from American LaFrance?

LOOKS GREAT, thanks for the spy shots Batt2!! Can't wait to see Joe Pinto's shot as well (hint)

The type of Battalion vehicle Yonkers is now going to is also becoming the standard Battalion chief vehicle in Texas as well, with the demise of the Excursion.

Here's a similar Battalion vehicle down here, got delivered about a year ago (scroll down on page)
