According to the website, it's a WMD/decon rig.

Squad 4 is stationed at WPFD's station 2 on Ferris avenue, quarter's of E66 and TL6. The squad is not a staffed company, when needed the men of E66 and TL6 will pit it in use, every FF stationed at 2 are trained in Haz Mat and WMD.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Rescue 88 rolls on haz-mat.'s and gas leaks, but if it were a big enough incident, maybe. However, I'm not 100% sure.

The Squad will roll on confirmed Haz Mat and WMD calls. And no, the Rescue roll's on gas leaks with an Engine Co.

Squad 4 the truck, not the trailer is used as a spare to Rescue 88 and a light truck for scene support, FD and PD

[Guest MahopacFF101]

Squad 4 used to be Mahopac Falls 19-6-1, a Saulsbury Box

White Plains Squad 4 AKA Mahopac Falls Rescue 19-6-1

[foreman1923 22]

Yes the box only from the old 19-6-1 is used by wpfd the Mack chassis went to heritage fuel

here is the current white plains squad. Taken during the multi alarm fire back in july.

City of white plains got the old westchester county hazardous materials truck too. That also say squad 4 support on it.

It should be mentioned that Squad 4 was built in house by the White Plains FD shops. They took the rescue body and placed it on a former White Plains engine.

I believe this replaced aanother unique vehicle built in house, it was either a mobile PA unit or light unit.

[Anesti 329]

wait so the trailer,the box truck,and the hm unit are all squad 4??

[tglass59 27]

That rig clearly says squad 4 "support unit". its used as a light truck, RAC, and spare rescue.

[Guest MahopacFF101]

Speaking to White Plains DC Mark Farrell today, the old Westchester Haz-Mat truck is the "new" Squad-4. The "old" Squad-4 (WP Pumper/Falls Rescue rebuild) is now a "spare" for Squad-4 or Rescue-88

[E106MKFD 56]

Does the county have a spare or a support unit for their hazmat or was the hazmat they gave to White Plains the county hazmat support truck?

[sfrd18 360]

Here's a picture of the "new" Squad 4 when it was Haz-Mat. 1/Utility 78 used by the county: http://public.fotki.com/lfd171/westchester_county_fire/westchester_-_other/hazmat_support.html

According to the caption, the rig has been leased to the WPFD as an extra haz-mat. unit for White Plains and the county. Does anyone know if the "new" and "old" Squad 4's are quartered? I'm assuming that they're both with E66 and TL6 at Sta. 2. Also, can anyone confirm if the old Squad 4 now going to be considered a Rescue since it's a spare, like New Rochelle's old Rescue 4(Now 54), or is it part of Squad 4, the company? My guess would be that it's a support unit to the "new" Squad 4.
