FDNY Heavy Rescue Mitigation Unit?

Ferrara has this in the "In Production" section of their website.

FDNY "Mitigation Unit"

If I remember correctly, they were looking to replace HM-1's second piece...could this be that piece?

Correct, this is FDNY Hazmat's new second piece

Has FDNY taken delivery of this piece and/or put it into service yet? Haven't seen any shots of it other than the Ferrara ones.

Also, in case anyone is interested, found this article explaining FDNY's HAZMAT Operations and their new PPE. Pretty interesting and it kind of makes sense of all the Special Ops units you see floating around the city. We actually got the Lion MT-94s for our HAZMAT Team, haven't used them for real yet but these new NFPA suits are much more comfortable than the traditional styles.
